Valentine's Day - Dinner and Swing Dancing

For Valentine's Day, have each resident submit the initials of their "dream gift".  For example, I would submit a piece of paper which looks like this: 

Sarah Zenk
D.A.S.D.

it stands for "Dinner and Swing Dancing".  Now, someone else draws my name out of the hat.  They need to purchase (or make) a gift with the initials "DASD".  So they give me, say, a "101 Dalmations" coloring book.  They explain that this is:

Drawings About Spotted Dalmations.

Then I reveal that what I *really* wanted was "Dinner and Swing Dancing".

It's good to draw names about a week before Valentine's Day.

My RA last year (David Best) started this as a second Myers tradition.
