CBS (Christmas Booze Swap '05)

SEE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THREAD IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE BOOZE SWAP. ALL INSTRUCTIONS ARE CONTAINED IN THAT THREAD.

Ok, Christmas Booze Swap has been announced. Register your thoughts here regarding whether it should be a Secret Santa type of thing or whether you'd rather know who your sender/recipient is.

Lushlife suggested Secret Santa with the caveat that if the goods haven't arrived by a certain date then the sender's identity would be revealed to the recipient and then they can deal with it. I'm ok with either way, long as I get me some booze dammit.

Well, of course you know how I voted. And I mean, I'm not anal. The deadline doesn't have to be December 26th or anything. There can be plenty of lee-way. Just so long as everybody is clear that if they commit to this, then it's really important that they come through and will need to be accountable if they don't in a reasonable amount of time. Frankly, if I had my druthers it would be limited to folks that had been on the board at least 3-6 months (indication of commitment), however I realize that that WOULD be anal and exclude some fine folks. I just don't want to see anybody get stiffed like last Christmas (in which case it happened to a few fine, longstanding members).

Agreed, and sadly that's why they probably don't want to participate any more. As I said in the other thread, only do this if you're intent on following through.

As I said in the other thread, my intent is to follow through, but I just wouldn't feel right if I had to make someone wait an extended amount of time. Changing jobs this close to the holidays is risky enough, I don't want to piss someone off that's waiting for booze, and possibly has access to ammo.

Don't sweat it hon, I wouldn't pair you with RIPT!

In that case, get these pairings done as soon as possible so I can get this gift out of the way and not have to worry.

Pairing me with RIPT would actually be easy for me, he's a Gin man.

If that's a 'yes Goose, I'm officially in' then PM me the pertinent details, dearie!

By the way, out of respect for alternative religions (Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, etc.) I think the exchange should be renamed as the HOLIDAY booze exchange. Fuckin' ethnocentrist.

:D

Hey, give me a break, I remembered Festivus. Is anyone else putting up a festivus pole this year?

This belongs to another thread.
