    All hail the CARDBOARD BOX!

    Ahhh the possibilties...a good appliance box could be anything...a ship, a store, McDonald's drive thru, a fort....

    What are some of your cardboard box memories?

    Only thing I remember doing with one was pretend I was Oscar the Grouch. Would pop out every now and again when people would walk by and yell"Gcram! Go away!" Of Course,nowadays I do that without the aid of a cardboard box.

    For me it was folding them flat and flying down the grass sides of a draw bridge.

    I bought cardboard when it was 3 cents a ton. Now it's up to 5 cents. I bought 4 tons of it. The only problem is I have to keep it at my house.
    Fresh, not from concentrate.

    Hmmmm....

    I suspect you've all seen what I do with cardboard boxes.

    ...and still the city grows. Soon the town clock will be ready....

    Don't know how these 2 things co-incided but I recall having a large cardboard box and dozens of laundry detergent bottle caps. I decorated the box as the Galactica Bridge, ( with a upper level command deck), and cut open the deep bottle caps as chairs so my figures could sit at their stations. Then I closed off 1/3 of the rear section as the launch bay.

    If I remember correctly I used the Mego Batmobile as a stand in for the Galactica Shuttle. I wish I had pics of it because it was very impressive for a child to have made at that time. I remember it vividly and could probably re-build it tho I have no room now to keep it.

    That was my Hall of Justice. I added my Major Matt Mason console for the HOJ table and they were in business.
    It was like that when I got here.
