Drillium Dude 

Good evening to everyone in C&V land

The latest edition of the BOC has gone south once again. C'est la vie. This afternoon I was going through all my bike-related stuff and came up with a pile of stuff (I can't honestly call most of it crap). I realized it would probably all fit in a $15.95 USPS Flat Rate Box. Whoa - who'd have thunk it, right?

So...

Andycapp was the next intended recipient after the box's last known owner. Andy lives just down the road, in the rainy state of Washington. I have already contacted him and am awaiting his mailing addy. I may very well have that by tomorrow and if so will ship the box tomorrow as well.

This was the list as it stood (beginning with Andy) on the first page of the last BOC thread:

Note: if you no longer want to be on the mailing list, please let me know and I will remove you. This is important so as not to hold up the box while someone is trying to PM you for your mailing address

If you want to be added, post to the thread and I will update the list here in this first post. See Rules below for the one eligibility requirement.

Rules (this is important):

1. If you can't abide by the rules, please don't play
2. Ship within 5 working days of receipt of box (if you're on the list, you should have some crap ready to be put into the box - right?)
3. Remove only crap you intend to use yourself
4. Do not remove crap to sell to somebody else
5. Do not remove crap to pass to somebody else
6. Try to put in as much or more crap than you remove
7. Report receipt via this thread upon receipt (same day shouldn't be too difficult - we're all addicted to this forum and most post daily. Don't suddenly disappear once the box makes it to you). Report via this thread when you've sent the box on to the next member as well.
8. Photograph the box contents as received (not a completely-revealing photo - just the box open and the crap on the top of the pile) and post (this thread is worthless without pics and all that...)
9. Photograph what you took out, but not what you put in - it's supposed to be somewhat of a surprise.
10. Players must have 150 posts or more. This, of course, is to facilitate PMing to pass/receive mailing addys. Additionally, if you're serious enough to post this many times, you're part of the community and much less likely to be jumping onboard just to get some free crap
11. Please, no completely worthless, borked crap (unless, of course, it's a cat-toy or has a string tied around it signifying its use as a small boat anchor).
12. ***New Rule*** RaleighSport has been kind enough to design and produce a decal to commemorate the BOC game (see page 22 , post #537 for details). Please limit yourself to a maximum of two decals from the envelope enclosed in the Box.
13. ***New Rule*** Ultraspontane has unwittingly prompted us to add the following guidance: The BOX OF CRAP is a CRAPSHOOT and you may not like the CRAP in the BOX. There may be absolutely nothing in the box of any value to you. Even if this is the case, you will still be expected to spend $16 to mail the BOX OF CRAP on to the next person. If you aren't ok with that, don't play the game; it's that simple, really.

Okay! Shall we try again? There's some really good crap ready for launch

*** Update, 18 SEP 2012 *** Take 5 has become necessary due to Ultraspontane dropping off the face of Bike Forums Classic & Vintage and along with him the most recent incarnation of the BOC, last filled with goodies by our pal GlennFordx4. Iowegian stepped up to the plate to fill yet another new BOC with the requisite crap; that box is on its way to photogravity as he was the next intended recipient.

So, the rotation stays the same, but the old box is history. I apologize on behalf of Ultraspontane to those of you who put stuff in the previous BOC in good faith, only to see the entire box appropriated by one person.

One word: KARMA. Make sure you do the right thing so the Karma you get is the kind you want

See Page 25 for the re-birth of the box.

BluesDaddy

Very nice, Dude.
Thanks for getting it going again.

photogravity

DD, I can't thank you enough for getting this going again! I thought it was just going to lie moribund and we'd all forget it ever happened. I AM IN!! BTW, if you just want to sent all that stuff to me, I'm down with that! I'll PM you my addy.

Drillium Dude 

Andycapp contacted my by phone tonight and I have his address. I will be mailing the box off to him tomorrow and he should be receiving it by Monday - Tuesday at the latest.

Once received, please contact the next person on the list for their mailing address so that you can send it along (for those of you who do not know the drill - or have forgotten it after all this time).

Andy: enjoy your crap

DD

RaleighSport

Woot the BOC is gonna move again!

shnibop 

I'll get on this list! What do I have to do to get in?

Drillium Dude 

^ You've been added

If someone wants to be added, I will keep an eye out and update the list in the first post each time a new face comes along.

DD

nuron

I'd like to know as well!

Drillium Dude 

Please see post #1 and the Rules section - and get posting

DD

Andycapp

DD, you're just awesome! I PM'ed Sillygolem to confirm his standing and participation. I already have his address but he hasn't posted on the forum since Nov, maybe he's still lurking around and a PM will rouse him. If I don't hear back from him I'll be needing Glennfordx4's address...

Just a reminder - don't post a photo of the entire contents in order to preserve the "surprise". "Bonus Points" for pictures of items taken installed/being useful

-Andy

noglider 

Are you sure you want to do it this way again? I was the worst offender, but clearly there's a tendency for people to drag their feet. If, instead, you use the previous format, I'm sure we'll have more luck (and fun). Each of us sends his own BOC to someone else. That was fun.

jril

Awesome job, Drillium Dude!

sailorbenjamin

Fork's Bent!
I liked that game too. We should do that for the holidays every year. I think both games will have their loyal followers.

Drillium Dude 

We have liftoff at 53 minutes past the hour of 12

Andy, you should have this box of premium-grade crap by Monday, Tuesday at the outside. Enjoy!

There's alloy, drilled crap and even some carbon. Don't use it all in the same place, guys (and sorry, but I didn't have the regulation dork-disk, so someone will have to take up my slack there).

I'm assuming perhaps most people on the list have seen the new game. I am further assuming you are all still playing until I get a PM or you post that you're out of the running. Thanks everyone!

I'm off to the PO again to send off Chombi's wheelset and bonus goodies.

DD

AlphaRed

Good man DD. When I grow up I want to be like you.....

whatwolf

I'd like to be added!

AlphaRed

I have to say I am +1 for this format. More luck+ more fun = a great combination!

Just my 0.02 cents
ARed

Drillium Dude 

I believe we have a solution if that becomes a problem this time around

DD

Drillium Dude 

Done - list is updated and you follow Shnibop

DD

curbtender

Arrrr...she rises!

Junk083

Ok.. I'm in too!

Drillium Dude 

Added to the list - welcome aboard

BTW everyone - might be a good idea to simply PM the next person on the list as soon as you can - pass along your mailing addy so there's no delay caused by not having a good follow-on address when the time comes to send the box along.

I will also take charge of reporting received/sent dates alongside each name on the list in post #1 - that way, anyone can see at any time the status of the box's whereabouts. I think this will help to lessen the "where is it?" posts so we can free the space up for pics and reports

DD

russd32

It's alive!

Glennfordx4

Yeaaay!, I almost forgot about it, almost! I have my Crap ready to go and the post office is only about 150 yards away so I can drive, walk, skip or crawl there in about five mins, I'm ready bring it on.

ACH57

I'd like to get on the list please.
