Slave to the Grave 26 Posted May 12, 2006 Nice big boxes, but a little flat, they would work fine if he gets run over by a steam roller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted May 13, 2006 There is something I need to confess. I like carboard boxes. I rarely go to the supermarket without getting one and I spend time trying to pick a particularly pleasing box. I bring them home and put them in the garage where we have stacks of empty cardboard boxes. I expect there is some meaning to this behaviour but I don't know what. Just needed to get that off my chest (no pun intended). Perhaps you are collecting boxes so you can build yourself a decent place for when Mrs. Godot chucks you out after another day at the auction house...

There isn't going to be another day at the auction house, says Mrs Godot, and if there is I won't be chucked out but carried out in one of those boxes.

Boudicca 702 Posted May 13, 2006 I watched and enjoyed 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' last night. I watched and enjoyed the F.A Cup Final today. My husband predicted that Jamie Carragher would score first, and that it would end three all, at odds of 1081 to 1, but he didn't place a bet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My husband predicted that Jamie Carragher would score first, and that it would end three all, at odds of 1081 to 1, but he didn't place a bet That's a blessing Bou. If he'd have had a bet he would have won and that would have started him betting perhaps until everything had gone. It's better to bet and lose, then you stop betting. I had dream of winning the lottery once so bought a ticket and was convinced all afternoon that I had won. I hadn't of course but I know now what it feels like to be rich - not that much different.

Bennett_Cerf 2 Posted May 20, 2006 I once swiped a box of candy from the local five and dime, and there was the time I pilfered a box of male birth control devices. Other than that I have led a nearly exemplary life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarolAnn 926 Posted May 25, 2006 I grew up down the street from Rose Hill cemetery in Fort Worth, TX, which is where Lee Harvey Oswald is buried. His grave is hard to find since it only has a simple flat stone and it's way in the back corner. We used to exploit the new conspiracy theorists shamelessly in November of every year when we would go to the cemetery, find them wandering lost and confused and charge them $5.00 (this was the 1970s) to lead them to the grave. We would even take their pictures next to the grave for them (using their own cameras, of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madame Defarge 21 Posted June 5, 2006 When I was about ten years old or so, I burnt some chili in a little pan so that chili gunk was all crusty and stuck to the bottom like cement. My mother said I had better clean it out; she didn't care if it took all night, that pot better be clean or else. When no one was looking I grabbed the pan and ran out into the night with it and buried it under about 2 feet of snow. As time went by, no one missed the pan , and I completely forgot about it. Early one April morning , my father was standing by the kitchen window with his coffee when he said "What in the name of God is that?" It was the little pan, gleaming like a jewel in the morning sun.

pulphack 6 Posted June 6, 2006 oi, mary, watch it - being a recording 'artiste' was no shame - it was the poor buggers who bought the records that should be ashamed of themselves. anyway, if my critics are anything to go by, my writing career is much more shameful. i suspect they're right... but don't you go blabbing any more secrets, remember i know where you live now - and it looks very nice, too.

Godot 149 Posted July 31, 2006 Box alert. Just been down to my local Waitrose after a programme to extend it and the little fenced off bit where they used to chuck the boxes has been removed. Not one box anywhere. Had to come out without one and with all my purchases in bags. At the Game Fair I went to a stand where a company makes nothing but boxes - http://www.solentplastics.co.uk - but all plastic. I prefer cardboard boxes. The man who runs it says he knows a lot of people that are "in to" boxes, not uncommon apparently. So I need to find a therapy group - boxaholics anonymous.

Before you go jumping into their 12-step program or whatever they have down there at boxaholics try some other stores.....it might be best for you not to abandon the boxes which is what the BA will coerce you into doing. I daresay this fascination with them has been ongoing for some time and might be related to your left-brained-ness. Like, maybe you need them to be able to think outside of them. Or inside them. This is a very delicate situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
