Whilst in a self-induced trance, Sam Ismail happened to blather:
I think this would be a fun thing to do still. If
anyone else is
interested, speak up, or write to me directly via e-mail. Then we don't
have to bother anyone else in the discussion with our silly little game.
We could pick a date (a weekend) and then assign some sparse rules and
then do it. It would be fun. Contact me if interested.
Actually, I think this would be a fun "silly little game" except in my case
the time frame needs to be improved *greatly*. Where I live, garage sales
haven't even started yet! (Why, you may ask... for some reason, people
don't want to set their "prized possesions" out in 2' of snow!)
What would be fun for me is if the contest ran for a month, or even the
whole summer... then those of use in the "boonies" might have a chance...
'cause for now, you win. Tough to enter a contest when they don't offer it
in your area!
Also, if it was over a month's span, then I might even be able to take a
road trip to a larger (read: civilized) area to do some scrounging... and
mebbe hit some thrift stores, as well.
How's this sound, folks?
