More Customers Singing BoxBoy's Praises |
I can't wait to see (David Cassidy). You have been a whole lot of fun, too, and I have really enjoyed doing business with you. I might just have to order some special items as gifts for family and friends. Thanks for being so nice. P.S. I got my beautiful box today, and I love the little surprise tucked inside! You did a fantastic job, and you can bet you will be hearing from me again. Take care and I wish you much success on your business." Winston-Salem, NC. |
"The box (BioBox) was waiting there for me at work this morning. I just wanted to thank you so much ... it looks awesome! I know my friend will love it. I've shown some friends at work and I've got people interested in your work, so I'll be forwarding them your information." -- Washington, DC |

Images only parents could love (but still be ashamed of at the same time). Above, a sweetly, mild mannered Baby BoxBoy as he appeared in 1964. Below, a modern day adaptation of the Baby BoxBoy retooled to promote capitalism. Wanna piece of BoxBoy? Your very own collectible T-Shirt (L and XL) can be yours for only $12.50. |

| More for your hopeful amusement, this little column features examples of why I have absolutely no inclination to write professionally anymore...ever. The photographs are ones that I (or somebody whom I worked with and probably didn't like) took during my stint as sports/features editor for my hometown weekly newspaper in the early 1980s right after college graduation. Whoa, what an awful sentence! The people in these photos and their "exhibits" are real, and all of these pictures were published in said newspaper. I wish I had kept more of these pictorial treasures...I can hear Pulitzer calling. But I am very glad that I have carted around the dozen or so that I have in my possession for the past quarter century. So, like a talented Mr. Ripley, believe it or not! And ain't that incredible? |

| BoxBoy Makes the A-List! |
Your very own BoxBoy had the pleasure of selling a trinket box to the Honorable Anthony Williams, Mayor Emeritus of the District of Columbia, at the 2006 Downtown DC Holiday Market. BoxBoy hates publicity and there were cameras clicking and a plethera of mayoral entourage staring the entire time the Mayor contemplated his purchase. No big deal ... only one of the heads (with antlers) fell to the ground whilst BB wrote up the purchase. Dubya, come on down!!! |
| Box of the Month |
| "That'll Be The Day" I haven't done a box like this in awhile, and it was worth the wait. Lots going on here. Coulda been titled "Godzilla vs. Rodin" for the art lover. Coulda been titled "Ironside: Perry Mason Returns" for the 1950s/60s crippled detective/attorney lover. Is titled "That'll Be The Day" because our Godzilla has rescued Buddy Holly from the fiery airplane about to hit the ground. Sorry, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper ... they didn't make it. Naturally, Godzilla made cricket fodder out of Buddy Holly, so he didn't make it either. Oh cruel world. |
