So...we had our annual white elephant gift exchange at work today. For anyone not aware, in a white elephant gift exchange everyone brings a wrapped gift in. You draw numbers from a hat and the first person picks a gift. They unwrap it in front of everyone. Then the 2nd person can either steal that gift, or select a new one from the pile o' gifts. Then the 3rd person can steal any of the gifts or pick a new gift. If your gift is stolen, you can either pick a new gift or steal someone else's (but you can't steal something back that was stolen from you on the previous turn). Any 1 gift can only be stolen 3 times and after the 3rd time that person gets the gift permanently. Everyone gets to go and whoever went first also gets to go last before the exchange is completed. I drew #16, so I got to go last. When the #15 person went, he took a new gift and it was this bottle of Ducks & Roses Ale from January 2, 1995...the Ducks' last trip to the Rose Bowl before last year. The employee who brought it in as his gift said he stumbled upon it in his garage. He hadn't even been saving it on purpose; it was just left over from 1995. I usually walk out of these white elephant gift exchanges with a lame coffee mug or something. This is by far the most awesome white elephant gift ever, and it's going in my Duck man-cave!!!
