Send me stuff
 
I'm thinking of starting up a website called "Sendmestuff.com" where people basically send in stuff and I show a photo of it on my website, and talk/rant about it.

I think it will be a big hit with the forum communities world wide. But I want your thoughts and ideas on it.

I think there will be some basic rules on what not to send, ie turd, explosives, poison, used condoms, dead animals, body parts, body fluids (IE blood, piss, sperm), animal fluids, vomit, food, mud, toxic substances, biohazardous materials, actinoids and other such radioactive materials.

Other than that, you can send what you like. Bullets, sculptures, toilet rolls, used crisp packets, money, CDs, etc.

Surely you'll get the odd person who will find it amusing to send you a letter bomb?

Possibly.

I will have to put my faith in royal mail. (yeah I know, probably not a good idea). But then again, what kind of person would spend all that time constructing a bomb that explodes upon opening the package, and then send it to some guy running a funny website?

no dead animals, eh?

......is critically injured ok?


good luck with this, sounds like a good idea.... kinda like what Maddox did(?)

Disgruntled Intern 07-02-2004 02:36 PM

So basically, people are going to pay to send you things.

The idea doesn't appeal to me, but hey, I'm not a total moron.

Like Maddox, only less pathetic.

Critically injured is not ok, since it will die before it gets to me.

Do you take steaming coils of shit?

hmmmmm....... guess your right about that.... what if u freezed em? That way, they'd still be alive when it got to u, and you could just unfreeze it! LIKE WALT DISNEY!

In the off-chance someone sends you, like, a dinosaur fossil or something like that, send it to me, ok? I totally dig that sorta thing. (pun intended)
This sounds like a cool website. Make sure to post the URL.

sligster 07-02-2004 06:01 PM

in the offchance someone sends you a tooth, could ya send it to me when your done?


.......for you see, I am the tooth fairy..... :confused:

Well that would come under the turd catagory. So no. (and unless you have a courier on steroids, it probably won't be steaming by the time it gets to me)

Lucipher 07-02-2004 10:47 PM

Do you take blood drenched Japanese steel?

TheRaisin 07-02-2004 11:16 PM

Sounds cool, Death.

EDIT: By Death I mean Codek, of course.

EDIT2: Oh, so it WAS Death. Thanks a lot, jeez. You've got me all worried about forgetting names now.

Smell 07-03-2004 12:15 AM

Sounds cool, do you take people?

Cloverfield 07-03-2004 02:14 AM

I think the idea is a good one. I personally only stick to a few websites, but I could see something like that becoming a "cult" website. Particulary if you receive unusual items and you make your comments about items funny/sarcastic.

I think that's a pretty cool idea. It'd be rather interesting to see what people would find interesting enough to send you! ;)

That's the idea... But I'm starting to think that maybe my PO box will fill up with rubbish and other undesireable items...

I have an awful feeling that all the items I receive will have to be handled while wearing an NBC suit.

Esus 07-03-2004 10:09 AM

You could always just ask for photographs to be sent by email? Would save you a lot of time and would generally be more safe/less disgusting for you.

Other than concerns you might have about receiving dodgy mail, I think this sounds like a pretty good idea, good luck on it. :happy:

oddguy 07-03-2004 11:39 AM

Darn, Esus! Through reading this whole thread I was thinking...e-mail would be more convienient...then you have to post the idea before I do!

Anyway, e-mail would be a whole lot easier...and e-mails don't explode. ;)
People could send you pictures, videos, slideshows...etc. I'd be willing to sort through e-mail with you to find amusing stuff.

Great idea!

I suppose that might work. It would certainly be a lot safer than my original idea.

oddguy 07-03-2004 12:25 PM

Well, it was your original idea that got Esus and I thinking...so you still get the credit.

Anyway, when this site gets running, I'll be sure to visit. ;)

It may or may not get running, depending on how things go. I don't really have the free time right now to start up a website.

sounds like a good idea........

If it was anyone else I would politely decline from saying anything whilst shaking my head and planning a call to the men in white coats. But you just may pull it off codek.

I'll spare us all some flaming and take that as compliment. :evil:

Smell 07-06-2004 06:51 AM

You have quite a weird mind but it's funny. Like when you put the beer can in the microwave. But anyway, I think Email would be better.

They're coming to take me away, hah hah, they're coming to take me away, ho ho, hee hee, ha ha, to the funny farm, where life is BEAUTIFUL ALL THE TIME and I'll be HAPPY to see those NICE YOUNG MEN IN THEIR CLEAN WHITE COATS AND THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY!!!! ha haaaaaa!!!

Sorry bout that.

Well if I could email pictures of c00 s7uff, I would definitely patronize this site. Heh heh. Patronize it.

Love that smile! :)

So, Codek...how about you have a site with a page that has an e-mail and people can start sending their pictures etc now...then when you have time to start the site, you'll allready have some pictures and stuff to sort through. Just an idea.
