    Juat had an awesome thought; what if we had a picture of June Cleaver on the lunch box with a speech bubble above her head that read "eat your damn lunch."

    Thanks for the info. Drinking top shelf German beer in a medieval castle, surrounded by buxom wenches catering to your every whim, hmmm….apologies, my mind drifted right away just then…LOL…

    Perhaps some coke in Ray’s Friday thermos to get the party started for the weekend?

    Is she still falling from her perch? I still liked how she pooped on the canvas to make Tyson slip while he was reaching for his mouthpiece. That Naughty Polly!

    That stare was scary. And it was not the Care Bears stare, but the stare of The Big Ugly Bear. Lol.

    Now I'm seeing ads for vintage metal lunchboxes in the advertisement at the top of the main page.

    :rolleyes:

    We used to get a new metal lunchbox every year. Each one always came with a thermos. And they would put the weirdest themes on them. Whatever popular show was on TV that fall had a lunchbox. Bands had a lunchbox. Many old cowboys had lunchboxes. The one I remember having the most was a Disney lunchbox where the lunchbox was shaped like a bus.

    I found it online. The thermos fit in the lid.

    Those lunchboxes were great though. But dangerous. My brother split our cousin's head open with one. Hit her over the head with it. Kids were always swinging them at each other. Probably why they don't make them metal anymore. But hitting kids in the head and slamming them against walls is probably why so many of those old metal boxes have dents in them.

    Surprisingly, not a lot of sports-themed metal lunchboxes. I did find a Muhammad Ali lunchbox. But the date advertised on the side of the box was the Liston rematch? Of all the fights, that's the date you put on a lunchbox? Like I said, weird.

    Jack Dempsey is culturally iconic enough. I think he’d be a certain pick!
