Tale of the Topbox Terror 2
By 5:30pm, the thought of scavenging the busy A331 for relics to throw in a box and dump on their porch seemed a little less appealing, especially now that it was rush-hour, the sky was dark and storms were fast approaching...
Plus the realisation that I would have been the lone random geezer, picking up junk from the hard shoulder of a busy dual carriageway held absolutely no romance nor appeal for me... like some despondent old hobo rooting around the roadside debris for his supper, or a few pieces of loose change, maybe something of little salable value to glean the coins for a can of Special Brew...
But no, it was me, little old Lever, just looking for stuff, for fun, to drop on his friends' doorstep... In honour of their tale of the topbox terror...
So I grabbed some random roadside-like items from the house...
I turned up, deposited the box of tat on their doorstep, rang the bell and ran away...

- beach towel
- old car license plate
- empty water bottle
- glove
- showerhead
- tennis ball
- newspaper
- busted golf club
- old pair of boxer shorts
"Hello, I believe this stuff is yours.
You left it all over the A331"
You left it all over the A331"
I turned up, deposited the box of tat on their doorstep, rang the bell and ran away...

"old car license plate" Oh, now come on Mr. L, we are a Brit blogging from the British Isles arn't we? You can't go Americanising your blog, whatever the reason ;-), next thing you'll be droping the "u" out of selected words. tut tut tut
So lets have "old car number plate" in future.
Rant over...
LOL, Great joke, let us know the consequences!!

Rebekah: LOL Thx missy :) um... boxers were old (elastic had gone) and were... er... used as a rag in the garage (hey, it's a guy thing ;) )
But ask yourself this... why is there so much discarded clothing on roadsides? I shudder to think the condition of underwear at roadsides, hence I dared not go look...
Brom-man: LOL, oh yeah, Brom, thanks for the reallity check... *ahem* Sorted :)
Anyway, shouldn't that be tt tt tt ;) LOL
*ahem* Yes, old car number plate it is :D
My BBFK: LOL, yeah, um showerhead, right... that was... er... just *totally* random... :S And Thx babe :)
And as for my bit of American... wow, what came over me...?
Jay: Aw Jay, thx :) You're a great friend too :) And think yourself lucky, girl, that I don't live too close to you ;) LOL OK, breathe... ;)

that's kind of funny because the only purpose my underwear serves is you know, the usual. sometimes Nugget uses them for a tug of war play toy, or a bed to sleep on, but since i stopped leaving them on the floor, he hasnt done that. 'cause he cant, you know, open drawers ...
ok. i'm beginning to think there are some things i should keep to myself ...

*laughing....* If you're insinuating that including the showerhead was inspired *even a little bit* by our trip, then you're in trouble. ;)
Oh, and nice addition to your links, BTW.

rebekah and lever: I too use old boxers as rags, but since I'm a girl and wear them as pajamas or shorts (there was this whole in style thing in the 90s here) they don't have that whole yuck used underwear feeling. Old underwear goes in the trash for me once it served it purposed. Corse with girls underwear there ain't that much there to make a rag with anyway.

that's a good point, actually ... (the thing about there not being enough of a girls unders to really use it for anything) ... unless we're talking like, grannie's panties ... then you could like, cover a window with them ... not that i'd recommend that ... or maybe i would ... i dig new home accenting ideas ... :: thinking ::

Rebekah: LMAO - "open drawers"... LOL Now *that's* funny ROFL
My BBFK: What, me? In trouble? What for? Did I even remotely link the showerhead to the wetting of your pretty head in the bathroom in Oxford? Did I just say that? I don't fink so ;)
Oh, and thx sweetheart ;)
Sef: That'll be me, Sef :) Thankyou :) Big marker pen too ;)
Piniyini: LOl totally the sort of stuff you'd find by the roadside, apart from the squished hedgehog or tree-rat. I wasn't gonna pick one of them up ;)
Paul: Thx dude :)
SFMD: LOL Girls in boxers? Hmmm.... *rubs chin*
As for ex-girls underwear for cleaning duties... I dunno, maybe clean champagne flutes with 'em...?
Rebekah: LMAO how about using granny's undies as a tent? Or trampoline? Maybe as some kinda "hey the olds are here" flag at some woodstock type event...?
OK, I'll get me coat...
