Don't matter.. the Youngbuck would "scrunch me in there" by jumping up and down on the lid<G> No XXL coffin fer me thank-you! > What I really want to know is...how did it float? Dang..

Does that matter? *I ain't up on Coffin culture<G> When I used it as a camp box, the light part got hoisted up on the tail gate first, but yah know pot's and pans.. ain't the same as a DEAD MAN... How's about the lid? Was it attatched, with a > > hinge? I used antique tacks to build a hinge out of scrap leather.. Lid up was a hassel for Kayak'n sport.. and truth be told I didn't do all that much<G> I wanted to prop it up, and have a Dummy act out being dead (like wearing a Royal Ranger uniform with zero advancements...) *It had a creeky sound too<G> or just removable?

I had thought it might camp good and git me off'n the cold ground, but like I said.. I built it quick and had plenny of nail pops<G> BTW! Leaveing it in the truck 'tween camps will get yah a strange reputation<G> I kept mine in the back all summer, Ranger camp'n and Scout camping and no one messed with my CAMP BOX! Yah think No Cal-Nev. would let the idea fly huh? The other part I wanted to do was wander around in black with Cdr.Hanks top hat, and a tape measureing kids all day.. The good news is that Jesus is gonna come soon and we's going up in the clouds.. *No dirt time for this 'po child! -=A=- > > > >From: Happy Camp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: Re: [RR] RR explored.. two paths... > >Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 17:00:54 -0800 (PST) > > > > > >--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > In a message dated 11/28/2001 10:27:48 PM Eastern Standard Time, > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > > > > > > > > "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to > you, > > > do ye > > > > even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
