WOW!
There sure has been a lot of renewed interest in the gift exchange since that thread got ressurected... So...If you want to play...Post here. I'm in... And if I get Goatboy as a partner, my gift will be my McUZI screen name back [:)] So, post here if you are in. The last one was really fun... I got some really good stuff... And I sent out some good stuff too... |
|
I must have missed this the first time around can you guys give me some details?

Since I am unemployed, would it be ok to give away the stuff I get from vending machines?

Beagles--Real simple-
Since Goatboy is playing this time.... All the members who want to play post... Goatboy will compile all the names, and draw them randomly into pairs... The pairings are then posted, and the members get in contact with thier partner via e-mail to exchange addresses. They send thier partner a gun related gift worth $20.00 or less... TOTALLY RANDOM!! Meaning no hinting... One time we did this on another site... I got a box of 8MM Mauser Ammo, and a copy of "Fast and fancy Revolver Shooting"--I guess my partner was a C&R guy... I sent him 3 AK 30 rounders The last one we did here on AR15, i wound up with 2 partners (Long story) I got 1 30 Rd Orlite, 1 20 Rd AK mag, and a PC FM Radiocard from my partner... I sent him a box of +P+ Law Enforcement Only Ranger 9MM ammo, and something else (I forget) My other partner sent me a new boresnake, and I sent him a new gun-book. It really is a fun thing if you like suprises. BUT, beware of sending out shitty gifts. Example; If the gift from my partner sucks, I will post a "You Suck you chincy Jew Cheap-o" forum on my website, dedicated to him, and link to it on every gun site out there...[:p] |

[B]THE LIST OF UNACCEPTABLE SHITTY GIFTS!![/B]
1) Empty Brass- Yeah, some dudes re-load, but that is a really shitty gift. It's like sending them used socks. 2) Earplugs- Yeah. They cost like what? A Buck? Whatever... 3) Post ban mags) WHO THE HELL WANTS POST-BAN MAGS!?!?!?!?! 4) Old left-over junk gun parts "Yeah....It's a pair of old revolver grips, but for fucking what?!?!?!?!" 5) Political Books- OK. Sure. I get the fact that the political nature of gun-ownership is paramount to us all...But this gift exchange is supposed to be F_U_N---Getting a book on "The theory of Western Democracy and it's associated Freedoms" with 1 chapter on gun-ownership is like when you used to get underwear for Christmas. B_O_R_I_N_G!!!!!!!! 6) Odd-Caliber Ammo--It's OK to send out random Ammo, like 9MM, even if the dude dosen't have a 9--He can always trade it, or shoot it out of a friends gun... But sending your poor partner a box of 7.65MM Velo-Dog is about the lamest thing you can do. "HERE PAL! HERE IS AN OLD MILK JUG FULL OF USED MOTOR-OIL FER YA!" 7) Gun Cleaning Supplies- They just aren't fun. Gun Cleaning shit reminds me of aluminum foil.. When I go to the store, I hate buying aluminum foil because i'd rather spend the $$$ on something I like: like Pigs Feet, or Kool-Aid....But I have to buy it. Cleaning suplies are like that. They aren't "FUN"- They're obligatory. "HEY PARTNER! HERE'S A JAR OF HOPPES, AND SOME PATCHES! [I]NOW GO HAVE FUN!!!![/I] So, there is an idea of totally shitty gifts to avoid sending (Me at least) Remember. It [B]IS NOT[/B] the thought that counts here...He who gives the coolest gift under $20.00 is the winner. |

What about a box of Craft MAC-E-CHEESE and 5 bucks to Imbroglio?

I'm in, but PC gifts and HOT SEXY underwear must be acceptable gifts as well...
]=) If I had ANY free time I would mention coding a kewl little app and tracker for this... we could keep track of who the best gift givers are and who are the worst!!! Along with a history of partners and gifts!!! (So we know who keeps sending out the same gift, lame or great!) Of course, that's if I had ANY free time... -- GB Oh and if I gave you your nick back, you would just end up getting it banned for being naughty!!! I'm surprised this one has made it about 24 hours already!!! [=)][=)][=)][=)][=)][=)] |
