Official 2015 PPOT Gift Exchange Signup!
I just volunteered myself to run the PPOT 2015 Gift Exchange. I don't know if there are any "official" rules - so I searched and found rules from a previous years' exchange that Vash ran. I am open to suggestions/comments for any changes that are deemed critical by the official judge (me!)
Until and unless there are any revisions (which will be edited/posted to this thread) the official rules are as follows: 1. Firm cutoff date for submittals is of 12/3/2015! I plan to sort participants and send out final notices on 12/4/2015. 2. PM me your Name + shipping address and PP handle. 3. On or by 12/4, 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. 4. 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. 5. YOU CANNOT BUY THE GIFT YOU SEND. Has to be something you already have and don't mind parting with. 6. Gifts can be serious, funny, thoughtful, appropriate, Porsche related, non-Porsche related, specific for the recipient, indicative of the giver's taste, whatever. 7. Mail the gift in time for Christmas. Once you receive your gift, try not to open it right away...save it for Christmas. Don't peek. we seem to take liberties with this rule..if you peek, sure as eff dont post about it until Christmas..you can pretend to be surprised. 8. There will be snafus and 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") 9. Sorry if you get someone you have gotten before. it will be random..luck of the draw. i am not looking back at past list. bonus if you hate the person you get..pay them back with the gift. 10. I think there should be ten rules - so this is held in reserve.  Reviewing previous exchange results/comments - the most violated rule that seems to receive comments is the above #5. Gifts should be items already around and NOT PURCHASED! This is not a competition. Second most popular comment seems to be around rule #8. This is supposed to be fun - so don't take it TOO seriously. Lastly - if you are not going to be able to send a gift - Don't sign up! Feel free to pipe in below with comments - but I need a PM from you to be officially in! So far participants that have sent PMs are below - without a PM - I can't match you up as I won't have your name and address for shipping! I've received a few more "last minute" entries and have a few others that did not yet provide a PM with address. I've sent out all but just a few PMs for matching up the entries to the gift recipients. Please do NOT reply back with a message UNLESS there is a problem. It's difficult enough matching up all of the PMs for addresses - I don't want to be bombarded by messages that you received my message. porsche4life and tweezers74 Hugh R Lee H WolfeMacleod Seahawk Mrmerlin Laneco Craig T craigster59 BSiple lowyder993s Brian 162 HHI944 peteremsley Snapper33 M.D.Holloway ("Lubemaster") mikester AZ_porschekid NotaBRG rwest Rusty Heap motion Porsche-poor flatbutt LakeCleElem targa911s Norm K Mericet pete3799 WPOZZZ lane912 daepp theFONZ Jesset100 Willywilly NY65912 dad911 peppy gtc Joeaksa

Like last year, Tweezers74 and I will throw our name in as one! Makes it easier for us to not have to round up two outbound gifts!
