Funny you guys should ask...
The pictures just finished uploading to my Flickr

^ What received date should I update post #1 with?

Thanks for the update, dude :)

The BOC arrived here in Tucson all the way from Illinois, yesterday. USPS must have been napping from all of the turkey or something. Regardless, it was worth waiting for!

This cracked me up:

Got these out of the BOC, which are going to be perfect when I transfer all of the parts off of my Grand Prix, to make it a beater for around the University.

Just wait until y'all see the crap that I put in there, it's pretty damn crappy (but not really).
As hilarious as this cardboard box may be, I feel as though it is time for a new one, for the BOC has a long trek back to Virginia tomorrow!

The 24th, and if all goes according to plan tomorrow, should be shipped the 26th. :D
I'll give you a definitive ship date tomorrow, but I don't foresee anything keeping me from the post office.

Drillium Dude 11-25-12 10:21 PM

^ Cool - many thanks; looks like you got some good pickin's there :)

It seems you're experiencing the typical beat-up box. Probably best to swap out boxes every other time at this rate!

BTW, love the B&W pics.

Can I be added to the crap-list? I've got a lot to dump in this box.

I would tend to agree with you on that one, good sir!

Every other time may be appropriate, considering that it is not really stopping in between coasts (or so it seems).


Thanks, DD.

:D

Robtown, she'll be heading your way soon!

Ahaha, At this rate, there isn't a lot of room left in the box! Although there is definitely a lot of room on the list. :P

Someone may have to make a co-op dump of some of the crappier crap soon.

Just added you to the growing list; please review the rules of the road in post #1 if you've not yet done so. Thanks, and welcome aboard :)

This seems to be the pattern as of late - and the rules allow, so no biggie there. Co-op away!

Yup, I think I got it - if I don't like the crap, then I win the game and get to keep the whole box. amirite?

BOC we out today, but forgetful me...


The map will be going out tomorrow :P

Drillium Dude 11-26-12 07:04 PM

I didn't know we had a map in the "new box" - cool :)

Thanks for the update; Raleigh Sport: any news on a new printing of the BOC decals?

DD

For some reason I just GIS'd "box of crap". this came up. Free bump I guess.

Got the BOC today and it'll be outside waiting for the postman tomorrow morning. I was a bit disappointed in the quality of crap but I suppose my additions only improved the quantity :)

Hey DD, please add me back in for trip #3. I came across some more BOC-worthy stuff while rummaging through my parts bins a few days ago.

Thx,

Skip

Drillium Dude 11-28-12 10:03 PM

As of today we've gotten the BOC delivered to 38 members - and that's with a delay or two, plus one complete hijacking of the box. This game began April 3rd, which was the date of the first delivery; at the rate we're going, we'll end up getting it to more than one person per week come April of 2013.

Congratulations to the vast majority of you C&Vers that have done such a fine job of keeping this going so fantastically :)

smontanaro: you've been added for yet another go-around.

robtown:
thanks for the pics and report; would you like to be re-added to the list? Perhaps next time there will be better crap from which to choose :)

I has been awhile since I have been on due to school, and I am amazed by the turnaround. It is practically at my doorstep

puchfinnland 11-29-12 12:06 PM

Im leaving for the usa on the 8th, I have to find my best quality crap for the box!
I know what I have in mind but its got some weight to it.

The way I look at it, if I can take out stuff I would have been happy to have won for $15 on eBay, and put in stuff I know I'll never use, but would be worth at least that to somebody, then it's been a good round. I have yet to be disappointed.

robtown 11-29-12 07:14 PM

My son helpfully brought the box inside before the postman showed up today. I'm driving tomorrow so I can take it to the post office.

Bike Cottage 11-29-12 09:26 PM

I would like to be added to the BOC game. This should be fun.

Welcome aboard - I just added you to the list :)

You may want to check in from time to time so that the guy sending it to you knows you're still in the game. At the rate the box is moving, it appears it'll take a couple months to get to you from smontanaro.
