Last night, several Freepers expressed an interest in George Bush lunch boxes. So, I went and looked to see what was available.
I found very little worth having, no Norman Schwartzkof or Colin Powell; No stars and stripes, not even an Abe Lincoln.
I did find a plain steel box with no paint or printing. Isn't it about time we had a George Bush or a Free Republic lunch box? Do we have any silk screeners out there?

I want a lunch box with an AC-130 Spectre Gunship firing on one side and a B-52 with "daisy-cutters" dropping from it on the other.

If we can do this as a FR fundraiser, I'm in. I have less to do than usual (sigh) and would be glad to go out and do an information hunt on how much it would cost to have it made, if there's enough interest. How about a FREE REPUBLIC GEORGE W. BUSH ENDURING FREEDOM VRWC lunchbox?
I'm an artist but I bet there are better ones out there. Let's post some designs!
I have avoided buying metal lunchboxes because I've noticed that the ones On The Shelf are often already pretty scratched up on the design. Maybe that doesn't have to be a problem.

*sigh* fondly remembering my Superman lunchbox from 2nd grade.

To do a double-sided with an image on each side would probably entail about 6 screens (3 colors each side), a plain box and some labor. I know a guy who screens shirts but I'm pretty sure he doesn't do lunch boxes. The plain steel boxes are $7.95 online in quantities of one.
How about GWB on one side and a B52 dropping a damned big bunker buster on the other?

I just did a quick manufacturer check. Found one that does square box imprints. Looks like min. order of 3,000 (per design) and would retail for about $20.00 per set (square box and thermos). FYI

I'll bet we have the resources to make them in quantities of 20 for about the same price (sans thermos). If we can get plain boxes for $7.95 and can find a Freeper silk screener, the cost might be reasonable.

Would like to see one with FR on one side and the red/blue map on the other.

The Bill Clinton stash box would surely be a profitable addition to the FR box line. I suggest separate compartments for pills, weed and coke. For the top, the ZIG ZAG nun with Clinton's face stripped onto it.
Has anyone seen those Trading cards yet? What are they called again?
