Wow, yeah, ElfYourself. I appreciate the time and effort put into that, I do agree with Sean that we look a little, well, less-than-manly. Especially since my elf appears to be shaking his breasts.

Anyway, thanks again for doing this. Count me in for the 80′s contest. Vengeance is mine!

I’ll bring the Trans Am I just got…and then stuff you (and 5 of your closest guy friends)in the back of that!

All right Dan – You’ve officially scored an invite for next year. : ) Just don’t bring the keys to the CRX.

@Sean – I shuffled and reshuffled the deck of questions so there was no rhyme nor reason to how far some questions could survive. Just the luck of the shuffle.

Maybe it is just the photos we have in his collection, but why do the three contestants come off fruity, but Ed is a badass? We look like fruity elves (as opposed to pirates)! I will say, that is a cool little video though. ElfYourself indeed. (And yes, apparently if you smile for a photo, you are fruity whence put upon the torso of a dancing elf.)

As for the contest, I am shocked I did as well as I did. I guess I should have played last year, although I remember one reason I did not was the questions he had at the party last year were more difficult than those this year. At least in my opinion. Now, I’m sure Ed can tell us for sure, but I think we got thru between 20 to 25 of the questions at the party this year. I think there were like 16 gifts and not everyone got their question right the first time. I did note that there were three questions from the party in the last round, which was surprising given I thought we eliminated most at the start. As I said before, I didn’t get much benefit from them as the one I thought I heard the correct answer for was in fact wrong. That and the one I got bounced out on, but I just couldn’t come up with it on the spot. (George Bailey in answer to who has a daughter named Zuzu, even though I was naming off everything but the character name.) I guess what I am saying is that since the party is so chaotic — with those childless parents all liquored up looking for a bowl in which to drop keys — that you don’t hear all the questions and answers unless you are down in front.

Once again, excellent job and I totally enjoyed it! I am, however, already plotting how I can plant someone in your party next year on MY behalf who will feed me the answers…not that I am complaining…I’m just saying…

If the 80′s version includes Punky and Balki, watch out! I was there for that part!!I will probably screw up on the whole hair-bands part and whatever movies Uncle Ron took you and Poe to, while I stayed home.

And, I will say, Sean’s got the moves!
