Indeed you are correct.

I suspect that the rules vary, but here's the way the game was played at Big Ed's last week.

Each person who wants to participate brings a wrapped gift. The concept is that you bring something that you received and don't want, but some people just like to buy random weird stuff to bring. Like that fish mounted on a plaque that sings "Take Me To The River." Or the big t-shirt that has a bikini-clad hottie's body air-brushed on it, or the Hulk Hogan biography.

The participants then draw numbers -- the person who gets "1" selects and opens the first gift. The person who draws "2" can either pick and open a new present, or take the present from person 1 and so on. Under Big Ed's rules, a gift gets retired after the third steal, and at the end of it all, person 1 can take anyone else's (Not Retired) gift.

It sounds cheesy, but it is fun. And one man's junk is another man's treasure -- I was very happy to end up with a copy of the Chieftans' Christmas CD. Mrs. Not Bob was less thrilled with the set of Santa Claus martini glasses, but her office is having the same sort of exhange at their holiday luncheon on Friday, so she has something to bring.

I got #3. It was cutthroat and the devestation (hi PLF!) wreaked was indescribable. A mess of blood, wrapping paper and battleship pieces.

I like this stomach...
 

Perfect ratio.

FYI, this is the sort of thing that can lead to the greatness that is the Sashimi Tabernacle Choir.

The website doesn't at all capture how truly awesome it is to see 250 singing bass do "Day-O." Especially when the lobsters get involved and start dancing.

Is this news to anyone who ever owned a Barbie doll?

Hi! :)

My guess is that he is still walking to work.

Ah, the first Xmas in-house. Don't worry, dear, by next year you'll have figured out how to play the system and take the last two weeks off as well.

2, and the first time I read it, she gave the present back to a paraplegic.

I wanted to rollerblade but couldn't find my spandex shorts
 

I took my Segway. Who's the nerd now, huh? Huh? That's right.

I saw him on his bike this morning, puffing away.

No. Although in my house the first one to suffer was Skipper, the totally asexual little sister. As if her total lack of curves and the cursedness of being Barbie's plain little sister weren't enough, I made it worse by cutting off her long blonde hair.

Who came first, Skipper or Jan Brady?

You got the puffing away part correct, at least.
