Five Things in a Box

[leekohler]

OK, my five.

1. A hardback copy of the I Ching. Not sure which translation, but probably Wilhelm or Karcher. The Book of Change, many many thousands of years old, it sees all things both near and far. One recent regret I have is not reading it enough over the past year or so.

Isn't that the truth? Thanks for reminding me. I have the illustrated Tao de Ching. Good stuff for reminding us to swim with the current...

2. A copy of a David Lynch film on DVD: Inland Empire It's about a woman in trouble, and is a meditation on identity, personality, grief and redemption. Many won't get it, but some will. You may have to watch it four or five times to get the gist of it, though. Best watched on a dark day.

I knew you would love it, and I knew you would get it.

4. A copy of QuarkXpress The page layout app that I got my hands on. Like all first loves, both adored and despised for what it did to me, and even now today, I still can't get it out of my system.

Same here, but I'm almost done with it. I've been using InDesign much more- but man does it have some serious flaws.

And you can't have my clock.

 

[Unspoken Demise]

Yes. Except the Sky Ball and the sticky nug

In that case:
1. Xbox 360
2. 32" Flatscreen VIZIO TV
3. Booklet of my games (Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Prince of Persia, Bioshock, Halo 3, Need for Speed Carbon)
4. All of my bills. You can keep those.
5. All 8 seasons of Scrubs. I love that show, and I have them all of DVD. Cant wait for season 9.

No, I do other things other than play video games. Its not my whole life, but when I have spare time from the GF and work, that is my hobby. My vice I suppose.

Now, if I could have extra items
6. A business card for my new company started with another forum member with our website, and on the back a promo code for our app about to be released.
7. A box of condoms. @Lee they are great for every man, gay or straight.
8. A copy of "zombie survival guide."
9. The picture of my dog that I had from age 5-almost 18. He died 3 days before my 18th birthday. Im getting a tattoo of him when I get the money)
10. My current cat. You can keep that little f***er.

 

[Melrose]

A couple of close friends ("Show me a man's friends and I'll show you the man" or however it goes), a copy of Jimmy Cliff's I Can Clearly Now (I am a very hopeful and hard-to-get-down type of person), a copy of Roberta Flack's First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (allegedly what my mother was humming the first time she held me after I was born... thrown in for silly sentimentality) and a Mac (which tells you I like reliability, quality, and love stylish things... this is MR after all )

...and the box its all in is a stucco Arts & Crafts bungalow.

 

[comictimes]

My box would be big...

1. An eight shell

2. My external hard drive, with my music and movies on it

3. My car (I'll be wanting that back)

4. A Michael Crichton book... "Prey" probably

5. A picture of my girlfriend, family... and maybe a couple friends

 

[Little HZ]

3. A fresh tomato from my garden.

May I have one of those tomatoes, Ugg? I LOVE good, fresh, homegrown tomatoes!!

 

[Zombie Acorn]

A receipt from walmart
My will
A link to my website
A copy of the works of plato

2. A wooden puzzle cube.
3. An apron.
4. A mechanical pencil.

Nice but indeterminate answer. That's a box I shouldn't probably open. Perhaps.

I can't imagine anyone ever wanted to receive packages from Schrödinger.
