Heh, that's also relevant given that I just got married as well I won't know how she'll react to such things until I try, right?

AW, please note that although the CM tries to be forgiving, there is penance to incur, as thusly:

1. 10 readings of the Prophet's Prayer
2. Review of the game rules, out loud, in a public place. A Youtube video proof isn't required, but would be amusing to the crappy players of the prismatic quadrilateral on the forum.
3. Select three good deads from the Book of Grant and perform them over the next week.

The Crapmaster has spoken!

Speaking as a very recently married person, my wife didn't mind at all.. but she's been around through all incarnations of the BoC already

Hello all, and thank you all so much for being so patient and understanding. I am officially back in Oregon where all my bike things are. Unfortunately I couldn't move all my stuff down in one trip so I won't be able to get to it for another week or so, but its on the to-do list.

The BOC was delivered to @romperr today. I can't wait to see what he decides to take.

@romperrr, please check in, Ms. VV sent me a message saying there was a "thump" on your doorstep...

Box has arrived! I'll be sending pics soon. Apparently @awfulwaffle and I live in the same area, ha! So we're considering handing off the box as opposed to mailing it.

Hmmmm, the Crapmaster ponders this question. For now I have added you last on the list with a note that you'll only be stateside at the end of October. It is quite possible that this is about right, depending on our turnover rate, we'll worry about lining your slot as it the date comes closer.

How long will you be in Pennsylvania before heading back to Cambodia?

The Crapmaster is puzzled.

What happened to the box that @YogaKat sent you? As I recall, her daughter added to the box...

I have it, I'm saying I'm finally back out west again where it is so it can send it along in the near future.

Can we have a date that you'll ship by? The Crapmaster reminds you that you read the rules, signed up, and sent your shipping address to have someone spend $18.75, put their own crap into a box to replace the crap they took out, probably repacked everything in a new box, and marched down to the post office to drop it off to the next person.

I know it's just a game. But it's the game we all signed up to play, and play by following the rules. There's an obligation here. We've got a few people on the Crapmaster's crap list (see rule 13). I hate adding to it.

The Crapmaster tries to be diplomatic and caring, but fuzzy statements don't cut it with me. Money issues? I'll send you a pre-paid USPS sheet if you PM me.

I have an excessive amount of wonderful, functional crap to contribute and I'm looking for new crap to add to my collection and help motivate my silly builds. I'm also okay with cat toys. The cat is, of course, indifferent.

Please add me to the list. I've read the rules and I will abide by them or forever be shamed.

As promised, here are pics. I got excited and opened the box without taking any, but here's some staged ones:







And, my haul:



If not tomorrow, box will be on its way Thursday!
