Tired of all that Turkey and Turkey sandwichs? Do you want to
change the menu for lunch and meet with some geo-friends. Then come
on out and join us for lunch at the Third Coast Grill for a
mid-week, mid-month get together.
After we eat , I'm sure we will hear some geo-stories and meet
new and old friends. Always good chats when Cachers meet!
Optional
We will be playing "Bubba's gift swap" with those who wish to
participate.
This Gift Swap was sent to me by "Bubba" after he found
Google!
Bubba writes to say:
Traditionally, a Bubba Gift is that you wouldn't want (some
horridly or ugly) I have always heard that referred to as a "Yankee
Swap".
But not In our case, Please keep the gifts under $10. Try to
select something geocaching or hiking related.
THE GIFTS:
1. This gift theme is geocaching or hiking
2. The gift should be valued as close to $10.00 as is
reasonable.
3. The gift should be something someone would actually want or
use. It should be in new condition.
4. The gift should be wrapped or in an envelope before arriving to
the party. Gift bags are OK only if a wrapped item is inside.
5. Gift certificates are not OK!
6. No geocoins or travel bugs for the game Please!
7. As guests arrive to the party, the gifts should be placed in an
area where few people can see who brought which gift. All efforts
should be made to hide who brought which gift.
THE GAME:
1. Each guest who wishes to participate must contribute a gift.
Everyone sits or stands in roughly a circle around the pile of
gifts.
2. Slips of paper equal to the number of gifts with clearly written
numbers. Each participating guest draws a number and holds onto
that slip of paper.
3. On the first turn, the guest with paper slip #1 chooses a gift,
opens it, and all admire it.
4. On the second turn, the guest with paper slip #2 gets the choice
of "stealing" any unwrapped gift (#1's) or choosing a wrapped one.
If #2 steals #1's gift, then #1 must open a wrapped gift.
5. On the third turn, the guest with paper slip #3 gets the choice
of "stealing" any unwrapped gift (#1's or #2's) or choosing a
wrapped one.
The game continues based on the following:
1. If a gift is stolen from you, you can steal a gift (within
limits, described below), or open a wrapped one.
2. The turn proceeds until a wrapped gift is chosen.
3. You cannot steal from the person who just stole from you..
4. The fourth "owner" of a gift gets to keep it. A gift is out of
play once it has been stolen 3 times.
5. "Owners" of "live" gifts must keep them visible and hold them
up when requested.
6. This continues until all gifts are opened.. Usually, guests are
encouraged to perpetuate the gift stealing as long as there are
"live" gifts, but no one is obligated to do this.
7. Finally, the person who picked first gets to choose from all the
presents and swap gifts to end the game, or keep whatever he or she
has already received.
You do not have to bring a gift to attend! The Bubba Swap is
for those who bring a gift. If you choose not bring anything to
swap you can still enjoy the party.
It’s a lot fun!!!
Also, don't forget to post a "Will Attend" note to the cache
page, We want to tell the Grill how many to be ready for a few days
ahead of time.!
