Re Buddy, here are some pix from an ebay auction:
(click to enlarge)
edit: nevermind! I thought there were buddy boxes IN the ad, not just beside the ad. Sorry, I shoulda enlarged the pix before I posted. Been awhile since I looked at them closely.
If you have Kris Dickey's contact info, ask her about them. She has posted packaging with something very much like them in it.
I think they were from Asia. The packaging was sort of cute. Might have included some sort of toy to shoot them with? I'm a little fuzzy on that. But yeah, I think she would know.
oh wow, yeah, that one is a great example!
I don't know that I would have guessed new on that one. I think probably I would have guessed old. Yeah, double checking, I'm pretty sure I would have guessed older.
It's an adult marble chat site.
PG-13 at least.
It's been discussed whether the board should be G-rated or PG-rated, or something else.
Some efforts were made to try to make it be more childsafe, but this didn't sit well with all the members or even all the mods.
The concensus seems to be that this board was supposed to be less restrictive than that.
Also, for the book, does anyone know the story about large (or any size) guineas being found in Mexican packaging, sometime back?
I heard just a tiny bit but now can't remember enough to even search for the original reference.
Someone was going to pursue the lead. I think maybe someone from Running Rabbit?
Ring any bells?
Anyone have Wedding Cakes?
Was looking for a good thread to send Douglas to but wasn't having a lot of luck. Figured others might like to see 'em too anyway. Thanks!
