I Win Christmas!

Today I went to the annual Ryan Troll Holiday party, which includes a "White Elephant" gift exchange.

What I gave up: components for a vintage 1998 home-built computer -- 350 MHz Pentium II processor with heatsink and fan, Asus P2B motherboard, 128 MB of screaming fast RAM, Matrox graphics card with 8 MB of VRAM, two sound cards, various cables and documentation.

What I received: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Wine in near-mint condition.

Looks like Santa's got my back this year. I'm as tsetummelt as anyone over this. Who knew?

  1. I had to look up the word ‘tsetummelt’.

  3. I believe it’s defined as “word that humorously references my Jewishness”. (OK, so it actually means “confused or bewildered”. But, context!)

  4. Don’t feel bad Adiv, I had to look it up myself to be sure I had the meaning right.
