Not to worry, it will be just crappy enough...

I hear you I think I am turning into a crapalcoholic!

Better people,
Better crap,

Box of Crap.


Would make a nice slogan.

Ha, with crap as the descriptive word, the bar is set pretty low...

The CrapMaster sighs, and rolls his eyes...

I think I've sorted why it's so distressing to have a BOC go missing. In the grand scheme of World Problems it is, of course, negligible. But I think the point of the exercise is to select crap that is useless to me at the moment, but I hope will be useful to someone else in need. When the box disappears, there's no resolution - no happy ending. I want to see the unwanted puppies that I let go find new loving homes. That's part of the charm of the game. At least it is for me.

Our esteemed Box O' Crap™ is not disappeared, folks. Here is proof.

I took some crap and added some crap, but I'm not telling you if this picture represents pre-crap-swap or post-crap-swap.

I implore you in the name of crap to post the pic!

Photo doesn't show. Eager to see. Thanks.

[MENTION=152773]noglider[/MENTION], you're making us rely on our imaginations far too much.

RobbieTunes 04-09-16 04:07 PM

I'm wondering if you kept the t-shirt. A nice shirt from a ride many states away is kind of cool. Not as cool as a DVD, but right up there....

sailorbenjamin 04-09-16 06:34 PM

It's so close I can smell it.

fwiw, I promise a better tease than Tom. :D

Team Spirit is overrated.

Just sayin'

noglider 04-10-16 07:13 AM

Google Photos changed the way permissions work. Grr. I think my picture should display now.

Team or Teen?

Team Spirit is an exercise in S Korea that is cold, muddy, fun, and sometimes extremely boring.

Teen Spirit is what launched some band somewhere into the rich-o-sphere....

I thought I pulled that saddle cover/pad out of that box.

I am getting the shakes I need a pic:twitchy::twitchy::twitchy:

rhm 04-11-16 04:51 AM

I can see the pic. And, surprisingly, I recognize very little of the crap. That's good.

Henry III 04-11-16 06:50 AM

The box arrived pretty well packed and somehow managed to stuff quite a bit more and not just crap. Just stuff I wouldn't be using and like when people say "oh man I really needed "insert part" to finish my project!" A good group of guys should get good crap in my book.

RobbieTunes 04-11-16 07:02 AM

Looks like:
iPhone 4 or 5 case
Super Bowl commemorative envelope and stamp
3 quill and 2 threadless stems
2 cranksets
2 sets of stem-mounted shifters (1 indexed 6sp Shimano)
QR for seat post binder, 1 QR and 1 bolted seat post clamp
4 new brake pads and 2 black brake shoes w/pads
1 Large T-shirt from Country Roads metric
1 Blaze RD
1 set DC non-aero levers w/turkey levers
Breaking Away DVD
1 set V-brake pads
Red plastic toe clips
Belt buckle?
1 envelope w/owner's manuals and assorted decals
1 bag threadless spacers
1 Flickstand
1 clamp-on CO2 holder
1 set center pull calipers
some disc brake mounting pieces
disc brake rotors
Thomson seapost spare parts
Cinelli water bottle (may have tire levers in it)
Thumbies
Grime Boss wipes
a braze-on FD

That's probably not all the stuff that was in there....

I assume the BOC decals have arrived back to Henry and forward to Tom?

Yes. I have this weird service from USPS called Informed Delivery. I get an email with pictures of my mail before it arrives in my mailbox. This morning, I saw that I have an envelope from Nashville, NC, and it is hand-addressed, and I assume it has the decals.

@USAZorro said he'll be away for the week. Would it make sense for me to send the BOC to @nlerner? He can then send it to @USAZorro, and then we can resume the normal order.
