Box of Offal #2 is moving rapidly - where is Box of Offal #1?
Hey @jazcat - I started to reorganize but kept tossing stuff in instead. Glad you are doing it - what shape is the box in? Did I use enough tape?

@jumbowoot or @faughtey or whoever else is on staff, could you please add the tags #Offal1 and #Offal2 to this question? I may also hit the Tattle button in a bit to request that, but we'd talked it over, and it would be helpful to those folks trying to keep track of the A box of O (Primus and Secundus), and it would be helpful.
@shrdlu: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
@shrdlu: Gasp Finally I can edit, Yay! Tell me if the wording should be changed.
@faughtey: I love you! Hooray, and it's quite beautiful!
Congratulations on editing too. Life is just good.
@lavikinga: You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome.
We need MOAR comments (also more votes). No one ask any other questions. I will smite you down with the mighty power of Tom Terrific! Popularity MUST be ours!
Yes, I am entertaining myself. It's not like it matters what's in the comment, just that there is one. I may even come back with a recipe or two.
Hey, which one of you didn't vote for this question?
@shrdlu: I'm still looking for tattles, it's been moved. But hooray anyway! Thank you :D
@shrdlu: Moar commenting! But also, I am still wondering what @anotherhiggins has decided to keep from Box 1...
@sand4me: The box is in OK shape but I just might replace it anyway. It is getting sort of squashed. You were right, there is plenty of tape on the box. And you aren't kidding, I can't believe how much stuff there was in the box. I don't think there will be any less once I get done with it, just different.
I might not post from the road (oh, who am I kidding, I will post, just maybe not as much), but will definitely be back on the thread Sunday morning.
@jazcat: We are all awaiting your "take out" list but promise not to nag - well, I promise not to nag. Some of these others - you know - they are going to nag and snark, etc... Just jealousy - they are wishing they had the box!
@shrdlu: Me. I had not voted on it when you posted your question. Dang, my brain gets all squirrely when I'm tired.

It seems that Track #1 has gone AWOL or they have gone underground trying to catch up and surpass Track #2's speed.
Oh yes, @theoneill555's comment has reminded me - @smtatertot13, please PM me with your address! :)
@angstangel: I can't seem to find you on the other side to send a pm. maybe I'm searching in the wrong place or something, but who knows. I did previously send the addy to @lavikinga. can it be passed on that way?
@smtatertot13: You can try going here to send that PM:
http://shirt.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=3824232&PageIndex=1&ReplyCount=203#post3824318
Or, if all else fails, I'm sure @lavikinga would be willing to pass it on!
@theoneill555: I sent you a pm requesting to be added to the list. I assume there are links for me to check out as to the rules? I will look for them later.
@sgoman5674: No real rules that I know of except - no food. I fyou want to catch up here are all the links starting from conception on a mystery box thread up to this one:

I have PM'd @faughtey to add you after @claudicina.
@theoneill555: Thanks! Now I know what I am doing Saturday night.
Thank you @faughtey!
Here is the original list of names for Offal #1:
Box 1:
@claudicina
@faughtey
@anotherhiggins
@UncleFrog
@debbiedunlap
@maisyday
@thegiant42
@auggie24
@xarous
@62mackinnon
@sdub90
@BKIndustries
@lavikinga
I'm pretty sure there have been additions to this list but I can't get my hands on it right now.
@anotherhiggins: Higgy Baby, what's the status? If you've shipped the box off, I missed the notification. And somebody asked me to have them pulled from the list and moved further down--they had scheduling conflicts. Jeez Louise, I have to plow thru all my PMs to check to make sure this was done.
@theoneill555: You are welcome!
@lavikinga: The list under 1.3 is correct, with all the changes made. @62mackinnon asked to be removed.
@faughtey: thank you!
@lavikinga: You are welcome!
Is it too late to get in on this? I pm'd theoneill555 on the woot side with my addy but i can send it too lavikinga too if needed.
Next question, are there any edgarmcherly fans in the list?
Posting here as well, I guess this is the official thread. This is Track 2 of the Neverending Box of Crap.
OK, I am back from my trip and will be sending the box on to @angstangel tomorrow. The items I took were as follows:
Disney software (thanks)
3 packs of cat treats (the cats thank you)
2 Christmas cat and dog house photo ornaments
pack of 4"x6" US Flags
Glitter fabric paint
Science fiction paperback (always love finding a new author)
Dominoes game (I never played it but thought it would be fun)
Doggy Days book
Auto Bingo book
Shallow Hall DVD
LED clip on book light
Cable Cuff
and last, and best, a really cute little turtle.
I know we haven't been giving too many hints as to what's in the box but I will let you know that I finally broke down and bought one of those 4 lbs of pens deals so there just might be a few pens in the box. I did get a new box which is a little larger than the old box.
This is so much fun!
@jazcat: Tell the cats I want to be their special friend! If you like that book by SL Viehl, the whole series is pretty interesting.
Looks like half of your selections are from me. Glad you like the turtle!
You are right, selecting what to put in is almost as much fun as taking stuff out.
@attilathemom: I had to google Edgar - different...
Where have you been put on the list?
@sand4me: I haven't heard if I have been put on a list yet. I will pm lavikinga later in case theoneill555 didn't get my pm. Just to sweeten the pot I'd like to mention that I happen to have an extra monkey....
Edgar is something of an acquired taste I will admit but I love his very quirky style. I much prefer his unique charm to most of the other stuff that shows up on shirt.woot.
@attilathemom: That's it, I heard monkey. Check your PMs
@faughtey: Ma'am, you are the quickest. Thank you.
@attilathemom: check out the list for Track #2
@attilathemom: Hmmmm - perhaps you could start a box and I could be first on your list? See, I have this little keychain monkey and of course, he is very cute, but he is lonely. Unfortunately, there are no other monkeys in the house. I could take care of finding your extra monkey a home?? Whadda ya say???
@sand4me: :P
@theoneill555: Your welcome!
I also wanted to mention that if anyone wants to change or update something, they can pm me like @theoneill555 did. I check for pm's several times a day. Or just continue to poke me, I check e-mails more often than pm's.
@theoneill555: Now that's just cruel and my feelings are sooooo hurt.
@sand4me: Sorry, I only have the one extra monkey with the tag still in so he doesn't waste his screams on the poor postal people. Duke it out with theoneill555 if you must. ;)
@attilathemom: Well, I think he wants salt water taffy. Perhaps a trade could be arranged. After he quits snickering, of course.
@sand4me: oh but I'm modifying this monkey just for him, are you saying I should send theoneill555 a box of taffy instead? Isn't that breaking the no food rule? (blinks innocently)
@attilathemom: You are such a nice person - I guess I will quit whining now. (Oh, yeah, right!) I am sure that The O'Neil 555 will be happy. Eventually, I might acquire my own monkey, somehow, someday. Whimper...
@attilathemom: I am so VERY confused. Who is this "him" to which you are referring? Please say you are not thinking that theoneill555 is male?
@shrdlu: after claudicina all interwebs people are default male now. blame him. er. right.
or you can just blame the fact that I am too lazy to go back through all the posts and look up whether he/she was really a him/her.
I still haven't heard from @anotherhiggins, but I sent him a PM on the woot side with my information.
he/she or him/her - my boys say IT.
@sand4me: @attilathemom: I probably don't NEED any more monkeys (now WANT is a whole nother matter). As I have about 60 monkeys (all except the Original Red), I can skip the monkey. I will wait (heavy sigh) until the next woot-off, if we have another one as it has been 55 days since my last monkey purchase.
@theoneill555: I am creating the monkey to rule all other monkeys... forged in secret in the fires of mount Doom. muahahahahahaaaaa!
@attilathemom: by any chance, will it have an eye patch???
@lavikinga: maybe we will get a pirate monkey for Halloween.
@attilathemom: Or a hobbit monkey with a ring.
Which would, of course, be very different from a @hobbit monkey.
@jazcat: as long as MY PRECIOUS is an emerald I am good.
