The 6th Annual KAA Holiday Gift Exchange

Since December 2002, my friends and I have participated in a bizarre gift exchange ritual where crap is flung back and forth, and the few good items are frantically stolen from each other if they are still in play.

My haul this year,

• 3 snack sized bags of Sour Patch Kids
• a Northwest Airlines Visa WorldPerks pizza cutter and small notepad
• a Münchner Kindl patch
• an unopened copy of MechWarrior 2
• a crappy deck of playing cards
• a bag of good coffee I brought
• a nice Sugoi SubZero snow cap (model 92926U)

Next year, we hope to make it so we each only bring one funny/crappy gift. We're trying to move up in the world like everyone else.
