WOW that list grew fast...
I will have to keep an eye on timing, as I am so far down I may have to bow out until after summer.

My approach is to remove the borked stuff and replace with non-borked stuff.

Wait a minute! You have already gotten a lot of crap from me. BTW I started working again this morning at a Division 3 University. The War Department seems to have some glee in my working again, and even points out I was at work as long as she was. My take on this so far is D-3 is not the Big Ten, but much more relaxed. So I am at my keyboard in the evenings again, and finding out how much fun it is being at work for 7 hours again. Smiles, MH

What is ironic about this photo is that Tim is now a mail carrier for the USPS 
Also, I had to laugh when scanning The Rules: the infamous @Ultraspontane is still called out (for those that don't know, he received the box, complained about the fact it was in fact full of crap, then disappeared...) as an example of how not to do things

Old timers here may remember mtnbke doing the same. The guy was weird, seemingly wanting to argue about anything, anywhere - extremely long posts slamming various members. He got on the BOC list just ahead of me, received the box then disappeared. DD was getting tired of herding cats, I was fresh meat, so I decided to start a new box.

I started a new box of crap at one point as well when a different BF-er ne'er-do-well disappeared.

I had fun with this game and got/gave some good loot, but both times I participated, there was a period of radio silence adjacent to me (either with the box on its way to me or after I sent it forward). Both times resolved without issue, but it was enough to convince me that my porch is cursed. Mildly cursed, but cursed nevertheless.

I have been waiting for the list to build a bit before throwing my name in, due to some upcoming obligations. With ten people ahead of me, I should be okay to add my name to the list, assuming regular movements. Thanks for taking over the duties of the new Crap Master.

Is there a level of borkedness that is charming and nostalgic, before it becomes just plain borked?
Aye. There's plenty of crap to go around.
This will be my, what, 8th or 9th round with the BOC? What I've found is that this is truly a "better to give than receive" gambit. Putting something halfway decent in the box and watching someone down the line take it with great pleasure is what the game is all about.
Please, no borked stuff, folks. It's in the rules.

Last time I checked the rules stated that Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart would make the ruling. Failing that, we have a Crapmaster, who by definition is infallible.

So, @Mad Honk, I assume you have an existing BOC that will kick off this round? I'll PM you my address if so. Or if I'm starting from scratch (which I'm glad to do), let me know that.

All of the Crap-A-Teers,
I promised my self that the exalted Box 'O Crap would not move out of cold storage (or clod storage for noglider) until we had at least twelve members step up and volunteer to play. Sci guy you have been added to the list and we are now at twelve. So today I am going to open the Box O' Crap that remains from series eight. I will as per the rules take the mandatory reveal pictures and post them here. I doubt that I will have any takes but will do some clean up of the contents and remove "Borked" crap before sending it to nlerner.
The aluminum liner should still be intact and if needed I will make repairs to it. Because the old box is a bit beat up a new box shall be obtained and the BOC shall begins it's journey as BOC series nine. @nlerner this is the box as it has been for at least three months: Smiles, MH And let's play the game!
The Exalted Box O' Crap thawing out from the deep freeze it has been in.
