My favorite "white elephant" gift? The talking hot dog condiment dispenser we got a couple of years back. Big hit at the block club party!

What about the best absurd gift I've ever given? I think I mighta outdid myself this year with my "white elephant" gift for my discriminating music lover friends. It's a singing/dancing frog with an organge afro. She's wearing a pink leopard print halter and sings the Spice Girls "Wannabe". w00t!!

Dumbest gift received? Socks and underwear. (thanks, Mom)

Ha ha -- I'm the lucky recipient of auntie's singing/dancing frog! She (the frog, not auntie) is wearing a leopard skin bikini. Only problem is, "Wannabe" keeps running through my head. oog.

Tell me what you want, what you really really want... I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want... [grin]

For Christmas, My sister inlaw, donated 3 rats and half a beehive to a village in Ethopia in my name. THanks.
