history is cool!
um so what you are seeing are the remains of christopher columbus. that's right the columbus who sailed the ocean blue in 1493, or was it 2. i never can remember that rhyme. oscar and i went to the cathedral the other day and they are having an exhibition of lots of chris's stuff and you can just go and look at it.
they had all this information from tests they had run on the remains to prove that they were in fact his. i was just hoping that i could have my remains kept in a gold box on display. or i would actually prefer the gold box without me in it. i could just put stuff in it, you know, like pens and pencils and stuff. if you had a gold box what would you put in it?? and no dumb answers like all the things that are important to you.oh and hello to mikki and denise who posted recently.

In my gold box:
a loaf of bread
a package of bologna
a package of cheese
a mustard
a chips
a salsa
a deal of spaghetti sauce
a package of spaghetti
a can of beans
a package of tortillas
a package of raman (x10)
a lb. of ground beef
a brownie mix
a apple
a package of shredded mexican style cheese
oh, and all the things important to me.
gold, gold boxanonimous,
oh brother.
that food would be so gross after about a week. or less. well, maybe not the raman. in fact, they should open the box to see if chris packed any. it would probably still be good.
in my gold box: more gold boxes!
it would be like the gold box kachina doll. c'mon - who doesn't get jazzed when they take off the doll head and hello - another doll! except this would be more gold which is SO MUCH BETTER than a dumb doll.
I would put a box of junior mints in there that would only be for MOI AND it would automatically replenish itself. AND if I wanted my junior mints to be oh-so-slightly melted and delicious that day, it would be. Because it would be my special "junior mints in a gold box" box.
dreaming about a mountain of junior mints,
em
that's impossible em. i hate to have to tell you that. but that can never happen.
p.s. gilmore girls season premiere tomorrow. fire up.
eek! I'm so glad you reminded me! I have to set my VCR--uh, i mean my tivo...what am i saying? I shouldn't be ashamed of being old school and still recording my favorite shows on a 13-inch tv/vcr combo!
also, yes it is possible Miss Ruiner of junior Mint dreams, would you feel differently about the possibility of it if instead of junior mints it was HOt Tamales? Ha! that's what I thought!! doesn't sound like a foolish idea now huh?
still dreamin'
em
attaway to keep hope alive. alas, it's kaptin kate that likes hot tamalas. i like sour watermelons. and butterfingers, goobers, milk duds, charms suckers, any kind of sucker, popcorn flavored jelly beans, jolly ranchers, abracabubble, watermelon trident, paydays, rolos, bubblicious, nerds, sweetarts, laffy taffy, lemon drops, etc., etc.
My dentist loved me. Or hated me. Whatever. I had lots of cavities.
i like mike and ike's, watermelon gum, reese's peanut butter cups and frozen snickers.
i'm going to put some of those in my gold box too.
Then, I'm going to put myself in the gold box and ship myself to spain. Totally saving on airline tickets.
Workin' the angles,
Jay
I would put a big bag of dirt in the gold box to throw everyone off-like maybe it's remains, maybe it's deteriorated valuables, maybe it's ashes but really it would be just some dirt I found on the way to the gold box.
then I would just sit back and laugh and laugh...

you guys have definitely had some super great ideas. this has been a really fun exercise in creativity and spontaneous thought. you have all done a really good job. i´m going to send the gold box coloring page to each of you that will have a place to illustrate everything you want to put in there. it will be two scoops of fun.
i don't want no dang scoop of fun.
raisin bran used to advertise that they had two full scoops of raisins in each box, but they don't do that anymore. I think it's because they've cut back on the number of raisins...probably because of the high gas prices. High gas prices have also caused the Dixie Chicks to camp out in Canada, probably because they can't afford the gas to travel back to the US. Either that or they're afraid that everyone in Lubbock will beat them up for all the trash-talking they do...
Done with my diatribe,
e
Winfrey sisters! Wish I could've seen you'll this weekend! Wish I didn't miss the wedding. :( Miss you guys!!!
Miss Emily Louise-cards!.....that's all I have to say bout that.
Hmm...In my gold box I would put all the goodies that I took from your boxes! MUahahah! :)
kate--random question: do you remember when we stayed up ridiculously late and watched two movies, one being the Pacifer and there was a line in the movie that I remember we laughed REALLY hard about it, and then for the next day we kept quoting it? Do you remember what it was? I have this vague rememberance of it happening, but I can't, for the life of me, remember what was so darn funny about Vin Diesel being a nanny....
