ten years and the gifts still suck

I went to the annual Berri and Jesse Cross white elephant Christmas party this weekend in Greensboro. I was lucky enough to steal the coveted lighted gnome statue. other hot items included the wooden watermelon man, the monkey statue, the Dallas Cowboys watch, and the yard-o-beef.

I was also allowed to make a campaign pitch to these folks who don't live in Florida, which was countered by offers to make donations for sexual favors.

the usual folks were in attendance, except for Neil who moved back to England. I will have to mail him his Brazil nuts this year. the ladyfinger cake also was at the party and in hot demand as always.
