MeCha Time Capsule.→[More:]
If we did have our very own time capsule, to be opened in, say, twenty years, what item or items would you put in to represent you?
--a picture of me at four years old (the earliest and only picture I have of myself before age nine)
--the torn black ribbon I wore pinned to my shirt at my father's funeral
--my 45 of "Please, Mr. Please"
--the Carnival Court menu all the MeCha folks signed at Jon and my wedding in Vegas
--second on Pips' wedding menu
--a gunnysack of hair from Hugh Janus' beard
--the Wino's knit skullie
--a hard drive full of the McNally Collection
--some cilantro
--a six-pack of Bud
ps Jon, you are going to have to use a replica skullie 'cause mine is still less than 50% holes and therefore has several more years of good use in it.
Ah, the cheesehorn. Maybe we should pin the phone # of the pasty tech support line to it.
also:
--eideteker's baseball cap
--scody's 'Weller' t-shirt
--one of jrossi4r's offspring (or maybe just a DNA sample)
--a bottle of grappa for matteo
--a copy of The Big Red One for brujita
--two tubs for jason's planet
(yes I could correct that typo andmake it the 'pastry' tech support line, but tech support people are generally pasty. I know of what I speak.)

Actually,I'd put in From Here to Eternity---I completely click with Clift's persona (refusing to violate my principles even if I get killed for it). I gave up his house (it needed too much work and I can't sell my place the way it is now)! ):-(
