Offer #453: Who Wants the One and Only Copy of a Map that Leads to a Secret Treasure Buried Somewhere in Texas?


The treasure hunter has checked in with a full report of her escapade to Far West Texas:

What would it take to send a glam-loving city gal into the West Texas desert? To a town so small it has only one traffic light. A place where the nearest airport is still 3 hours away by car. Why would this wining and dining culture vulture want to venture out where the tumbleweeds (and Chihuahuas) outnumber the cars? How about a map to a buried treasure? Well, that’s all it took for me.

Read the rest here.

Offer #1: Who Wants to Witness a Real Live Birth?

A few of our offers from The Casket of Passing Fancy were designed to be received at a later date.  We're sad to report that the recipient of this offer wasn't able to make it to the site of the home birth in time, but life, as they say, goes on.  Carol Melissa Putnam came into this world at 4:47pm today, weighing a healthy 7.1 lbs.  Welcome, Carol!

Casket of Passing Fancy: The Untaken, Pt. 1

By popular demand, here's a first installment of the offers that NO ONE wanted. While some of these were passed over for obvious reasons, others weren't really read in opportune moments or may have fallen victim to imperfect phrasing. This is the saddest part of the Casket for me: all of these damn fine offers, meticulously prepared, that will never be experienced. I wish we'd planned some sort of everything-must-go marathon performance at the end of the run.

Who wants to swap saliva with themselves?
Who wants to be convinced it's them and not you?

Who wants tan skin and white teeth?
Who wants to find the body in the car trunk?
Who wants to adopt a grandma?
Who wants to play nursing home?
Who wants to take a rest on a luxurious derriere?
