    That's a simple problem solved with the proper application of time, money, steel pipe and a tig welder.

    meh... you can turbo just about anything, but an old Merc is not appealing to me.

    Building a sleeper turbo Aston Martin? Now we're talking...

    @Fiveslide Your Amazon homepage must look wild after searching for that stuff.

    Your suggestions were all duly noted, but I went with a smash burger kit.

    I already own two of the three things I linked to.....

    Then your not doing White Elephant right.

    "A white elephant gift exchange is a party game where guests exchange wrapped gifts that are often impractical or amusing. The goal is to have fun, not to receive a valuable gift."

    My white elephant gift for a company dinner next week is going to be a bag with duck eggs and sourdough starter. Maybe something else random if I think of it.

    I called it a White Elephant because that's the generic term for the "bring a present and everyone starts swapping" thing, but we do it a bit differently in that it replaces the traditional individual gift-giving (because none of us really need more shit) and is usually a single useful item.

    We do it, too, on Mom's side of the family. I kinda wish it was true white elephant, I'd rather have the laughs than walk away with another fleece blanket or something equally disappointing.

    A white elephant gift is supposed to be a gift that is burdensome to the person receiving it. Nowadays it’s just a fun gift exchange. But if you want to fuck with someone, get them a puppy or a kitten. Or some fish. Go on Craigslist and look for a free dog or something. Guaranteed there will be new rules in the book after that.

    Fill a ziplock bag with chlorine gas as a gift. When they open it up, it will become burdensome.

    Come with me on a journey back to 1975, when as a 9 year old we thought this was the only Chinese food that existed. It was fancy, and we washed it down with Hi-C. We hated it, and all Chinese food, until we were in college and actually had “ real” Chinese food and realized how good Chinese food could be.

    This is dinner tonight. For old times sake.
