I happened upon a 5 gallon carboy, sitting outside of an antique store, labeled with an $8 price tag yesterday. I was unable to resist … so I purchased it and brought it home. Now, I see that it is far too filthy to ever be allowed to hold any of my precious fluids … so I plan to fill it with small objects as a sort of “artistic commentary” on the holding capacity of glass vessels.
Thus I hereby announce the “what shall I put in the carboy” contest. The winner will be mentioned by name, every time I speak of the carboy. Here are some initial thoughts as to things that the carboy might contain:
* corks
* colored sand, artfully arranged in layers
* marbles
* chipmunks (easier than it sounds: If I put a layer of thistle seed in it and leave it behind the garage, I will have mice and chipmunks by morning
* pennies
* insanely powerful magnets
Give unto me your ideas!
