The Wrong Box

[sarah_orange]

I have in my possession The Wrong Box. This is a box filled with scraps of paper listing those things that people observe to be wrong or wrong things people have said. "Will's beard" is in there, as is "Warhammer", "Midge" and "Air Guitar". It doesn't have to be actual 'things' that go in there, "not talking about cock for 10 minutes on a girlie night" lies alongside "the musical stylings of Oasis". There are so many things in there relating to crm that he has his own subsection. There are many universal truths in there, indeed the very existance of the wrong box is noted in the wrong box.

Last night I upgraded the wrong box (a metaphysical concept afterall) from a tatty cardboard box to a black wooden box I had floating round the house. Then I decorated it with sparkly things that the_great_bj had bought for this purpose. This action, clearly, went in the wrong box. Then I took photos of the decorated wrong box and mms'd them to people. Also added. Then I read through everything that's in there. I found a small blank scrap in there which I wrote "this wrong is left intentionally blank" on the bottom of with a smirk.

I love the wrong box.

Am I in it? Please?

*adds "wanting to be in the wrong box"*

[smoke-rising.livejournal.com]

Oh haha. No seriously, I'm very curious to know the contents of this box. Feel like posting some of the juicier ones?

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

you have to be slightly careful what you put in there as people like to read it when they're round. Eddy found stuff in there about him (namely "taking over 20 hours to unwrap your christmas presents" and "fancying a ginger")

I believe "orange is a sexual predator" is in there :)

I've now read this entry several times, & each time, my grin becomes grinnier.

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

I recommend you start a franchise.

:D

*adds "franchising the wrong box"*

[greasedtrigger.livejournal.com]

The more I thought about it...then there was too much time on my hands...teeheehee.
Grinning pumpkins should probably go in there.

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

yay!!!!

[lupie-stardust.livejournal.com]

That is pretty much the best thing ever.

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

of course the decor is *intentionally* bad...

(or I'm just cacky-handed...)

How about a Sim wrong box to drop into your Sims 2 household? You can watch your Sims gather round it and point and laugh and then get offended when they see their own names in it. You can then spend the rest of your time pointing and laughing as you remove their doors, sinks and toilets one by one?

hummm... we need to put this post in the wrong box... along with naturally skinny girls

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

they're already in there.

maybe the wrong box needs to start accepting e-submissions?

[the-great-bj.livejournal.com]

yea... there should be a proper form and everything

[the-great-bj.livejournal.com]

ask things like

name (optional):
entry to the wrong box:
why is this wrong?:

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

pfft where's the spontenaity!

I might accept text submissions when I'm at home...

[the-great-bj.livejournal.com]

so I can text you whenever something wrong happens... yey

Unfortunatley thewrongbox.co.uk is taken, but looks like wrongbox.co.uk is avilable... and you could always start thewrongbox on livejournal as it doesn't seem to be taken (there's no journal there at any rate, don't know how you check properly...)

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

I like it being a real and physical thing :)

[sturmed.livejournal.com]

surely the wrong box is the mark of genius :)

[screaming-harpy.livejournal.com]

Are Spider's outfits in there?

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

spider is in there.

[glennkenobi.livejournal.com]

Outfits?

You mean pants.

[smoke-rising.livejournal.com]

And the boots. Don't forget the boots. They comprise 50% of the total outfit.

[screaming-harpy.livejournal.com]

Sorry sir i stand corrected. I meant to say Spider's lack of outfit. :p

[glennkenobi.livejournal.com]

Blimey, it sounds like an obsessive compulsive filing project if you're not careful... there's so much wrongness in the world, it'll become a very very big box, mark my words...

... maybe it needs to be a categorised website rather than a box???

Oh... am I in it, by the way??

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

not yet... :D

[cloneboy.livejournal.com]

the wrong box is wonderful to delve in when your waiting for a taxi

[smoke-rising.livejournal.com]

Damn you, now I really want to see what's in it. Have a house party so I can come over and look!

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

there's a fair amount of innanity...

[myz-lilith.livejournal.com]

You could make your next party "Wrong box" themed... pick items at random and people have to base foodstuffs and outfits on them... and base party games (charades obviously but I'm sure there's others) on drawing out wrongness from the box...

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

but SEA FOOD COCK POT is in there!!!

EEK!

[myz-lilith.livejournal.com]

You HAVE to do it now! I'm thinking up recipes already!

[timsinister.livejournal.com]

I remember sitting in Kris' flat when he started filling it up. Is there an entry which states 'Writing Things Down For Putting In The Wrong Box, Whilst Women Take Their Clothes Off And Lie On Top Of Each Other?'

That was an odd night!

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

*consults the wrong box*

stuff from that evening includes:
"Will you put your trousers back on" said by chris
"bridget's hair fits up sarah's skirt"
"are you trying to muscle in on my hos" said by me apparently
"chris you've got a lot of wrong happening in your house"
and the apocryphal
"Tim is a tard"

it got better after it left chris's house :)

[timsinister.livejournal.com]

There you go! It's WRONG to call Tim a 'tard.

So why does everyone still do it!

:D

[northern-vixen.livejournal.com]

I heart teh wrong box!

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

teh wrong box would <3 you if it wasn't a metaphysical concept I'm sure :D

[northern-vixen.livejournal.com]

can I have my own franchise of this metaphysical concept? If so how would that work - do I have to feed the 'wrongs' back to the original box or do franchised 'wrongs' stay with the franchise?
*starts looking for suitable box*

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

you keep the wrongs but any exceptional wrongs should be shared :)

[crm.livejournal.com]

woah! ace!!

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

al and I had a discussion about attaching a pen to it. so now I have to find the wrongest pen ever...
