^ Added to the list

Toss crap that is truly crap - borked things really have no place in the box (unless one wants to do their inaugural drillium attempts on them).

The game is not intended to replace all y'all's garbage cans

yes good idea - some of that crap is just too craptastic and should go to the bin. makes more room for good stuff.
is there and update to the list on where we are and how many more folks have signed on?

thanks, though I should have made it clear, that i was wanted to have my spot after Arrowana moved to the end of the list instead of signing up for a 3rd go around. if that isn't cool then i'll just stick with my original spot

I feel your pain - I passed up anything in the box I received

You pays your money and takes your chances, am I right?

Good luck this next go-around!

Omg! looks like with your estimate of 1 week/person. I won't get this BOC till early June... I can hardly hold my enthusiasm. I've found even more stuff to drop in there too (recently looked in my storage)

I expect the BOC today. My secret plan is to take it all to the Westminister swap meet and sell it all, and become rich - rich I tell you! Bwahahahahaha! Then blow it all there on a frame I didn't really need, refill the box with my own junk, send it on it's way, and y'all will be none the wiser.

BOC has landed. As delivered:


Loot I done tooked. I'm looking forward to trying out the chain wax (if you know what I mean) -


I took about a quarter of the crappiestest crap from the BOC and put it aside to donate to the co-op: heavy, loathsome, and frightful things. I added some grade-A prime crap from my stash-o-crap, and am ready to send it on it's merry way.

Glad to see the box made it to you safely. And I'm even more glad you are going to try out the Chain Wax. I carried that around for 20+ years and never had the guts to try it! You'll have to let me know how you like it.

I had a can of Chain Wax I purchased a looong time ago. Used it a couple times, then put it on the shelf. I passed it along to someone on one of the several lists or forums I read a few months ago. It does work, but as hairnet said, a lot of work for what you get.
