Food is always the big draw.. chocolate in particular.<BR/><BR/>The most popular gift ever stolen repeatedly was a musical toilet bank. Yup. A coin is placed in the slot. The lid opens. A hand comes out and takes the coin. Silly and immature.. and right up our alley. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977044224939777967.post-83508379405692261182008-12-10T22:22:00.000-05:002008-12-10T22:22:00.000-05:00Nereus - That's pretty funny.

Thanks for sharing the story.<BR/><BR/>Sam - I don't doubt something like your cookies and fudge would have passed hands SEVERAL times during the gift exchange!<BR/><BR/>CC - Well, funny you should ask. When someone opened the Christmas ornament, they said it was the White House Christmas ornament. When it came my turn, I asked, "is that THIS year's White House ornament?" Yes, it is. I said, "I'll take that!" LW had recently asked me to go by the gift shop and pick up this year's White House ornament, so I thought I had scored pretty good on that one. Then I got it and opened it. Nope. Not the White House ornament. Just a pretty Christmas ornament in the same style as the White House ornaments. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>Aunt Ruth - Since Starbucks is so far away, that would make it that much more special to get the Starbucks gift box with the assortment of coffees and chocolates, right?blunozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917109513028096262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977044224939777967.post-3834918143360747262008-12-09T19:48:00.000-05:002008-12-09T19:48:00.000-05:00The Chia Shrek, Who can pass such a wonder gift u...The Chia Shrek, Who can pass such a wonder gift up??? <BR/><BR/>The JO's need to "Graph" the progress of the Chia plants. <BR/><BR/>When I was on "Ustafish" we built a rotating Christmas tree out of greenies, colored white line, and silver balls from a shipmates "Go to hell" chain (Dog tag ball-chain for count down) and a motor from a cassette player. We would then time the rotation every half hour and graph the resulting RPM and therefore AA battery discharge rate. Our skipper ( Now ADM Sullivan ret) came into NavCenter and professed his dismay that he couldn't get the nukes to graph the((Fill in some NUKE term)) but the NAVET's were graphing the Christmas tree.Nereushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10467442370988311519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977044224939777967.post-12870536547563404022008-12-09T13:11:00.000-05:002008-12-09T13:11:00.000-05:00"MY" first instinct would be to say I thought the ..."MY" first instinct would be to say I thought the Starbucks would be most popular. But I know at least on the 740, Tony Chachere's and hot sauce were the all meals condiments of choice for the guys.
