where did the elves originate?

[TheJester]

when ever Tom comes up w/ a new product, and we want to know how it works, he always responds w/ elves of some sort.

trigger mod:

The secret is....gamma radiation......blast the Elves with it and wait until you get a mutation that lightens the trigger.......

Lvl 10 bolt:

like each ball is loaded with tender care by magical elves.

Valve trade ins:
I beleive he said something along the lines they feed the old turned in valves for the go retro program to the elves, but i can't find the thread

so what's the deal w/ elves, or are they just kinda like pie?

*eidt* sorry if this should be up in the freidly corner, i realized that it's only "semi-paintball" related after i already posted it here in paintball talk, move it if you must
