one of those times was a pretty serious moral discussion, but still
he got me a box of useless shit.
like the random stuff he had off of his desk.

contents of said box:
an egg filled with plaster of paris
one film canister with a pigrimmage card
one film canister with a roll of undevolped film and a note, which has
a qoute from Romans (12:1-12)
a prayer card featuring the founder of the madonna house, its mandate,
her birth her birth and death dates.
silly glasses, the ones with springs
a piece of drift wood
a large rock.
two unfurled rolls of film
a curtain hook
mosiac tiles
his email address (i'm assuming)
a tiny sea shell
30 clear glass marbles
7 black rocks
a torn peice of paper with a small grid and a question mark
two push pins
a screw
an eye hook
a shaprned pencil
a crudely cut sqaure of marbled paper
a tape case for the alexander brothers--scotland for me.

I'm amazed he didn't include a copy of his manifesto.

Also: the guy is obviously nuts. Hide from him.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Thursday, 12 August 2004 07:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, you could see it as kind of sweet. Gifts almost always say more about the giver than the receiver. Perhaps that stuff isn't shit, to him. Still, it's pretty quirky I grant you.

I was hoping it was literally a box of his excrement, that would have been proper psycho.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 12 August 2004 07:45 (twenty-one years ago)

haha. No but seriously, he's prob a total schizo and now to him you somehow owe him something. I bet he gets clingy and tries to spend time with you. Don't give him yr address or phone number under any circumstances!

"Mama, nobody sends you a turd and expects to live, NOBODY!"
"Look, here's a card"
"Read it, Cotton"
"It's a birthday card, a fucking birthday card"
"What does it say?!"
"Oh, God, Babs. 'Happy Birthday, Fatso'"
"Aaaaaahhhh!"
"'You are no longer the filthiest people alive, we are,' and it's signed 'The Filthiest People Alive.'"

― Vic (Vic), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Ken. Would you like a box of MY shit?

12:1 Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters,1 by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice—alive, holy, and pleasing to God2—which is your reasonable service. 12:2 Do not be conformed3 to this present world,4 but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve5 what is the will of God—what is good and well-pleasing and perfect.
Conduct in Humility
12:3 For by the grace given to me I say to every one of you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but to think with sober discernment, as God has distributed to each of you6 a measure of faith.7 12:4 For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function, 12:5 so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another. 12:6 And we have different gifts8 according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith. 12:7 If it is service, he must serve; if it is teaching, he must teach; 12:8 if it is exhortation, he must exhort; if it is contributing, he must do so with sincerity; if it is leadership, he must do so with diligence; if it is showing mercy, he must do so with cheerfulness.
Conduct in Love

12:9 Love must be9 without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good. 12:10 Be devoted to one another with mutual love, showing eagerness in honoring one another. 12:11 Do not lag in zeal, be enthusiastic in spirit, serve the Lord. 12:12 Rejoice in hope, endure in suffering, persist in prayer.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:13 (twenty-one years ago)

You want biblical quotes in SHIT? What are you, some kind of PREVERT?

Okay, I'll scrawl something on the inside of the box with my finger.

How's this:

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
Bible, Ecclesiastes 9:10

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:15 (twenty-one years ago)

don't tell me NOW, surprise me inside the box.

(i.e. put yourself inside)

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Consider the Lilies of the fied, how they grow.

They toil not, neither do they spin..

Of COURSE I will climb inside your box, dear..

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Ken, I love you so much I would send you EIGHT black rocks.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I bought a book on eBay, nice first edition, sold as in v good quality - and I get it and the entire inside front cover is covered with scrawled bible quotes! I felt too voyeuristic somehow to read them, but it was kind of peculiar. Especially since it was a Peter Ackroyd book, and he's hardly god's chosen author.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:27 (twenty-one years ago)

My friend used to live with someone who wrote Biblical Quotes around the house. She'd lift up the toilet roll and there would be one there, underneath it, waiting for her.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:31 (twenty-one years ago)

it's not the quantity of the rocks, ian, it's the size.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:33 (twenty-one years ago)

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:39 (twenty-one years ago)

i was hoping for a jersey to go with my jeans

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 12 August 2004 08:41 (twenty-one years ago)

There are no rocks in Jersey.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 12 August 2004 09:21 (twenty-one years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 12 August 2004 10:19 (twenty-one years ago)

New Jersey rocks.

Let's look at our navels.
