^... not entirely ...

... for the homeless and professional welfare folks ... I'd like to make a reality game show ...

... put 4 families on an island ...

... only throw out enough food & water for three families ...

... see which ones survive and which ones decide that they want to get a job and work after about 6 months of starvation, no clean water, no shelter, etc ...

The clock guts are at WalMarts for about 5 bucks. Just did a joya de Nicauragua box that came out cool.

Re: #22

... I'm just saying that if it's a "Survivor" series ... let's make it real ... and we can clean up society in the process ...

... take a group of 12 crack-addicts ...

- the "Winner" will get $100,000.00 in cash and free drugs for life ...

- each series ... have them all sit down and give them access to ANY drug in any quantity that they choose from ...

- one 'hit' of any randomly selected drug from each contain a lethal dosage ...

- just tape & watch ... as their urges increase ... the addicts will either have to go through withdrawal voluntarily ... or take a chance to get their fix ... in the end ... only 1 will have survived the show and we'll have rid society of 11 junkies ...

- give the "Winner" $100k in cash ... no taxes, no checkbook, nothing but cold hard cash in hand and as many drugs as he/she can carry ...

- in another week - they'll be dead as well ...

- allow online betting during the show ... tax the winnings, apply those funds to our tax base ...

- make money and clean up society in the process ...

What could be better than that?

I read that part of the stimulus package includes a couple bazillion $ in incentives for Hollywood.

No bull.

A transparent 'payback' for Hollywoods Obama support during the election.

Sickening, but it might help Jimmy and Scott's idea become reality.

I've got a Romeo y Julieta 125th Anniversary box/humi (somewhere in the basement) if anyone wants it ... has a 'nick' on one corner - but otherwise looks nice and can be easily converted to a miniature gun hiding spot, wall clock, or even a desktop humi ...

Neo - I'll give you first dibs on that one for one of your new toys ...

Cigar boxes are available cheap at CI.

What I have are some CAO 'black' boxes tall slender shape;

a bunch of the 5V gold boxes--very irregular/worthlesss shape;

Only one yellow Monte box;

I am surprised anybody on a cigar forum would actually want cigar boxes--mebbe I should clarify: These boxes are EMPTY. I expect shipping would be prohibitive...

Thats if you are still giving them away. Wasn't sure if you were trying to build a house or something.
