MBP CONTEST: Come write my blog!

Posted on 12:28 PM by dvdsvdsdv

Today, friends, for the first time ever, I'm handing over the proverbial car keys, or rather, the typewriter keys -- to you.  Yes, today, YOU get to write a post here at Male Pattern Boldness!  Exciting, no?

The rules:  Using the ten photographs posted below, please discuss my latest sewing-related adventure.  Be sure to incorporate the following words:
 
eBay, UPS, fragile, nightmare, incompetence

Optional words include bubble wrap, double-box, feedback, ulcer

That's it!  I'll announce a winner on Monday and there could be a valuable prize involved.  If you need some backstory, you'll find it here. 

Ready?  Here are the ten photos:





















Can you turn these images into a story?

How, in your opinion, does this story end?  Is there a moral to the story?

I can't wait to read your responses -- I could use some cheering up, for reasons you can well imagine.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

OK....On your mark, get set, GO.
