OK I'm back in too, it's been one year since my last round!

A great and terrible dishonor has occured. In reviewing requests to the BOC game, I somehow missed your request. Please note that you are added, and in the order received (FIFO is how we play here).

I humbly apologize, and wish that the great karma of the BOC includes rare items that you have wished for all of your vintage bicycle life.

The Crapmaster has decreed it thus and I anxiously await the arrival of my Campy Delta brakeset.

I'm not sure that's a word... but I happily resolve to be a recidivist receiver from the repository of requisite crap then recede into the recesses of my restful rectory after responsibly reporting on my remarkable requisitions from the reusable crap receptacle.

Guilty as charged. Life's been hectic but that's no excuse. Will be sent out with maximum urgency and maximum crap.

When the box o crap is stalled like this, does it mean we're constipated? If so, I'm going to include a laxative my next go round, lol.

O benevolent Crap Master
That I may regain the Way
I beseech of Thee
A humble place on The List
Of those to be in the Future
Blessed
By a visit from Thine Box

swen0171 04-16-17 06:15 AM

Is the list closed? Or can I still ask to be added on? I was away from the list for a while but have been working on a few projects lately and have a bunch of crap in my recently organized parts bins.

Hello all- again apologies about the holdup. I've been trying to get this thing sealing up with little success; there is a lot of crap in there. I thought I had last week, but when I awoke, the box had burst open. I bought some stronger tape and will be trying again this week.

A million apologies ya'll.

[MENTION=323735]romperrr[/MENTION] -- Find the most unusable crappiest crap and take it out. Problem solved.

romperrr 04-24-17 11:25 AM

Thanks for the rec [MENTION=348967]J.Oxley[/MENTION], it may have to go that way but I was hoping not to scrap anything. Almost everything in there is usable from freewheels, old tools, to random bits. How does the crap community feel about a second, smaller box sent in addition to the main box that won't get circulated, but merely given out? The person getting it could be selected in some sort of random method.

One box, Keep It Simple, Student!

I don't think there's ever been a BOC without some sort of borked crap in it, at least every time it's come my way there were a few things to chuck.

If you want to send another box out to someone, feel free. Right now all of that crap is yours, to do what you want with. Rule 5 sez "Do not remove crap to pass to somebody else", which I copied and pasted from previous Crapmasters. That's an extremely grey area rule, and should be changed to a suggestion. As long as you're replacing it with some good bits, I'm ok with it.

Just get that box a move on.

Almost everything usable? The crap must have gotten a lot better since I last saw the box. ;)

Indeed.

One man's crap is another man's crap.

jyl 04-24-17 08:43 PM

I always take out the worst and bulkiest crap. No-one is going to be sad about not getting a crack at the borked Alivio drive side crank with no ND mate. It's a box of crap, not a box of scrap. BOC karma comes from sending the box on with cooler stuff than when you received it. And of course having the box burst mid-journey would be very bad indeed.
