I'm getting BoC stress. I'm worried that my crap is too crappy or not crappy enough. I know how Goldilocks must have felt.

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...

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. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/qA...w1816-h1356-no |
You tease again - the photo don't show!!

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

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....

It's so close I can smell it.

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

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

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?

@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. |
