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?

1 cheese horn.

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.)

A whole bunch of LOLs and whuffles and *hugs*. They will be printed out on little slips of paper with little bunnies on the flip-side.

I was just on the porch getting drunk and it was raining and the randomized iPod played "Have You Ever Seen The Rain." That was cool.

I'd put that moment in the time capsule somehow.

I'd sew a few little stuffed bunnies, and throw in some prickles from Mango and a clove.

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)! ):-(
