If you want to contribute money to Russ and Sharon's gift, you can send it via PayPal to RNOCK(at)EMORY(dot)EDU.[/hq]Morrus, this site's founder and all around suave British playboy, just got married. He won't be back to the site for three weeks; I assume he and his new wife need that long to collate their Dr. Who collections.In the meanwhile, I was wondering if people here would be interested in sending them a card, and possibly pooling money and getting them a nice wedding present. There's already a congratulatory thread, though, so perhaps a card would be redundant.Regarding a gift, I figure we can discuss ideas in this thread, determine a budget, and then finagle the details of actually getting the money. Maybe we could set up a Kickstarter fund, though I've never tried that. If there's not much interest for a group thing I'll just send a gift of my own, but if people want to team up, we could get the newlyweds something really special. I don't know what the two of them have, so I'm not sure what they'd be interested in, but I have some initial thoughts:Piddling -- A pair of ceramic gnomes.Low -- Amazon or some tech-store gift card.Medium -- Gen Con 2011 badges for them both. (My understanding is that the missus isn't much of a gamer, but she still enjoyed the con. My recollection could be incorrect, however, in which case we'd need something else.)High -- Hotel lodging for Gen Con 2011.Primo -- Airfare.I know finances are tight for a lot of folks, so please don't worry if now's not a good time for you. But if you're interested, even in just chipping in a few bucks, that's awesome.</blockquote>
