PPOT Gift Exchange V3.0 (2012)

Here's where it all begins. Try for a cutoff date of 12/10? Any takers?
PM me your Name address and PP handle.

2. You will receive a PM from me forwarding a name/address. This is who you will send your gift to. I will post on this thread when all PM's have been sent. If you haven't received a PM once I announce they've all gone out, post here and I will resend it.

3. Keep the postage/shipping to a nominal cost...say under $8-10. USPS has a flat rate box anywhere in CONUS for around $8 regardless of weight if it fits in their box. This rule does not apply if someone wants to ship ME something wildly exotic and expensive. Like a fresh LSD G50. Otherwise keep it at a minimum.

4. YOU CANNOT BUY THE GIFT YOU SEND. Has to be something you already have and don't mind parting with. If sending used articles of clothing, GOD man....have the decency to wash them first.

5. Gifts can be serious, funny, thoughtful, appropriate, Porsche related, non-Porsche related, specific for the recipient, indicative of the giver's taste, whatever. Please exercise discretion just in case its opened in front of a spouse, children, the DEA or Postal Inspectors. And if you send a Beretta O/U shotgun to me, don't get in a snit because you "only" received a 3 year old re-gifted fruit cake. It's the THOUGHT that counts...Better to give than receive. Yeah, yeah, yeah....

6. Try to mail them in time for Christmas. Once you receive your gift, try not to open it right away...save it for Xmas. Don't peak.

7. Let's start a thread after Xmas to share pics, comments, etc of what you received. And laugh. And OOOOOH and AHHHHHH. And bust each other's chops (i.e., "the Mikez 'der Douche Nozzle' rule."). I mean, c'mon, what else do we have to do in the week before New Year's.

8. Invariably there are gonna be a few glitches. Schit lost in the mail. Broken schit. Keep it in perspective. If somebody doesn't send a gift, feel free to ridicule and humiliate them on the board throughout the coming year. This is supposed to be fun and stress free...let's keep it in that perspective. Let's make it work (i.e., the "sammyg2 anti-cynic rule").

Try not to clog this thread up with a buncha comments...if you must, post in the original party thread. I will post amendments/clarications in this post by editing in contrasting colors and bump it to the top of PPOT.(Sorta like a PCA rulebook or SCCA supplemental Race Regulation.)
