  A box of Cheerios, 2 fishing rods, a tackle box and a rocket fishing launcher.  Scooter Bug is back on his fishing kick. 
  
  (The Cheerios are bait and also to feed the turtle)
  

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  fearing - okay, I give.  What's a "rocket fishing launcher"?  It sounds possibly fun and dangerous.

• Mamie said on Jul 24, 2008....

  ooooh, you caught me on a good day...there are three bags of mens clothing for good will, I can't find the bin that used to be in the parking lot at Home Depot....there are two bags of paperback novels that I am giving to my mom and her friends...there is a pink courderoy aerosmith backpack that my daughter thought I should have from her recent trip to disney...likely a spare, though I have not ever seen it...um, about 15 classico spaghetti jars recycled into candle holders to sell at the relay for life yard sale coming up. A gray sweater that I keep forgetting to bring in (it is a winter sweater)...and I think that is it!

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  Mamie - you had me worried about those spaghetti jars until I got to the candle holder part.  Sounds like you use your trunk as a staging area for tasks.

• Alyss said on Jul 24, 2008....

  Right now not a lot as the blasted thing is locked shut and won't unlock!!!

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  Alyss - the lock on your trunk is stuck?  That's awful!

   

• beyondtheveil said on Jul 24, 2008....

  unique- A spare tire, a jack, and a case of computer paper. That's my wife's car, I have a truck. Boring, I know, but she keeps it clean.
  
  However, I can't wait to see what a rocket fishing launcher is. I might want one of these.
  

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  BTV - that is clean!!  I wish I had the space and discipline to be the same.  Yes, I'm still very curious about the rocket fishing launcher.

• Alyss said on Jul 24, 2008....

  u-i yup and it is a major pita.

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  Alyss - I bet!!  I used to fix that kind of thing.  I've spent more than my fair share of time crawling through small openings between the back seat and trunk that I care to think of.

• MissMimi said on Jul 24, 2008....

  two bungee cords, the footrests for the wheelchair, and a ratty old blanket for emergencies.  Although, right off the top of my head, I can't think of any blanket-related emergencies I've had lately. 

• nytquill17 said on Jul 24, 2008....

  Until mid-June we had all our winter tires in the trunk.  We finally moved them into storage when we went to Montreal for my birthday.
  
  Right now it's just the usual car stuff -windshield wiper fluid, probably a quart of oil, probably an ice scraper and a funnel.  We have a plastic "trunk organizer" for holding those things so they don't tip over all the time as we drive.  I believe our spare tire is in there; don't know if there is a tire iron in there with it!
  
  Currently also a sewing machine in it's carrying case.  It's a loan from my MIL's best friend, and recently she had a project she needed it for.  She sent it back via my MIL when she was done; we got it at mother's day dinner, stuck it in our car and haven't carried it upstairs yet.
  
  Do you see a trend?  We're lazy and we have NO ROOM for anything!  If I'm not mistaken our snow shovel is still wedged in the back seat footwells, lol!
  

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  MissMimi - your trunk sounds relatively clean.  I always wonder why people are so insistant on having that emergency blanket.  I don't think I've ever needed the one I usually carry either.
   
  nytquill - that's exactly how mine got so out of hand!!

• fearing said on Jul 24, 2008....

  U-I,  This is the Link to the page for the rocket fishing launcher.  The commercials come on for it all the time - I hate advertising targeted towards kids - I don't think it's playing fair.  ;-)  It's actually pretty cool but we've only caught 1 fish with it in the 2 weeks we've had it.  That was when we just let the hook drop into the water off the side of the pier.  In the rocket launcher's defense, we have the fish trained to eat only Cheerio bait and they swim next to the pier so shooting the thing out into the middle of the pond is kinda pointless - all the fish are under the pier.  It does make a big splash and I think it scares the fish.  Still really cool for boys.   Oh and the occasional cricket we use  - I don't think likes the ride so much.  lol!
  
  You might be wondering about the Cheerio bait thing too?  I know that isn't appropriate bait but there is a big (huge) turtle that chases the hooks so we had to take something to distract him and all I had were Cheerios.  I discourage live bait because, well, ewwwww and after a little while we started putting the cereal on the hook and catching fish.  ;-) 
  

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  fearing - my work computer is trying to keep me out of the link you sent!!  Oh well, I'll look when I'm home.  I was wondering about the Cheerios bait.  It's a new one to me, but if it works ...... great!!!  Less icky worms to put on hooks.

• destinydiva said on Jul 24, 2008....

  the boot of my car is just ridiculous!!! 
  so weird I just came across this post... and today I realized  when I was in the supermarket car park with a trolley full of food...  a car full of kids.... and a trunk full of total utter crap!! .... and I was squeezing in my bags here there and everywhere!!  that I needed to sort it out :-)   ....usually the kids are at school so I just load the back seats up)
  
  I have dozens of coats..  4 pairs of wellington boots...  a dolls pram....  umberellas....books.... toys.....   a rubber mallet, camping stool,(still from festival) ... a tin of paint...two rolls of wallpaper....  a zillion cd's .......    and loads of junk!!!  just to list a few :-) xx
  
  
  

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  destiny - I think our trunks are related.  You obviously (like me) consider your car an extention of your home as far as storage goes.  Yes, like you I need to make room in the trunk for actual cargo. (groceries,etc.)

• eurekame said on Jul 24, 2008....

  LMAO- I glanced really fast at the title and thought it read, "Who's in the Trunck of my Car"...oh gawed!
   
  Humm; sad to admit that I'm so messy...
   
  3 bags of dirty clothes to be taken to laundry mat, box of pictures, 3 pairs of heels, safety kit, water jug...so much crap I'm not even sure at this point.
   
  I really need to clean my car now!

• destinydiva said on Jul 24, 2008....

  unique, it definitly is an extension!! my mum is always nagging me about it...   but I tell her... " I'm  leaving it in my boot so I know where it is"  thats been my excuse forever...  even to myself!! (so I dont feel bad for it being so scruffy!) :-)
  but its so true,,, after everything being in there for so long...  I know where it is :-)  if I moved it... I really would forget where I put it :-) xx

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  eurekame - add one more to the "dirty girls" club, LOL
   
  destiny - *giggling* that's the same thing I told Bill the other night when he asked me why there was so much junk in the car trunk.

• husbandhater said on Jul 24, 2008....

  Car wash equipment(2 mitts,a large Beach like towel,the bucket broke)
  a target bag,a keyfood bag(Plastic). A pair of  Sandels(Flat)for driving or those long days where my feet ache. Oh and a spare tire.

• SeanRenaud said on Jul 24, 2008....

  1. partially filled tool box

  1 spare tire n stuff

  1 sword (gotta be preparied for zombies, pirates or ninja)

  1 baseball bat (gotta be prepared at all times for zombies)

  1 blanket, various assorted clothing

  1 gallon of water and assorted nonperishables (I live in CA and I'm actually prepared for earthquaks *food may also be difficult to obtain during zombie invasion*)

  Various books (I need to add a chemistry book encase I find myself in the middle ages fightin a zombie army *also Hentai book is in there someplace)

  Checkbook, picture of my ex *which needs burning or shredding*, some other various odds and ends.

  On a side note if your a sexy lady you should have me in your trunk!

• wombat said on Jul 24, 2008....

  Recently cleaned out the back end of the SUV---so not much.  Took out the blanket and only a sun visor for the windshield, some windshield wiper fluid and the built-in spare.  (don't look in the floorboard of back seat area)

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  HH - not too bad.  You carry your car wash items with you?  That's a good idea.
   
  SR - I don't think you'd fit in my trunk, but thanks for offering.  I live in CA too, but have decided that if there's an earthquake that big I'll likely be swimming before I'm landbound.

• SeanRenaud said on Jul 24, 2008....

  If I don't fit in the trunk I'm sure there is room up front.  :-P (You know I don't recall it always being this easy to talk XXX)

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  wombie - so you keep it closer to you!  The trunk sounds positively bare.
   
  SR - If you're 6' or over you're gonna look like the dad on that superhero family movie. (my car is very small)  Hard to talk to moi? Hmmm, I can't think of why.

• secretlife said on Jul 24, 2008....

  i don't actually have a "trunk" because i drive a mini van.
  but it the back of the van i have:
   
  1 case poland spring water
  one plastic container with 1/2 dz dvd's that are used in the van
  a black trash bag 1/2 filled with stuff my mom sent home after she and my kids cleaned out sis's car last week.  there's christmas wrap, some christmas tags, a candlemaking kit we're bringing to the shore next week, a basket of bath products also for the shore, a snowglobe of the world trade center (don't ask me where it came from but i was going to give it to my son to put in his room), several ice scrapers that i'll put in my garage for winter, 2 cookbooks, and only God knows what else.  My mother will do that, package "stuff" from her house and ship it over to mine, and sometimes i can't bear to bring more "stuff" into the house so i'll leave it in the back of the van until i can figure out what to do with it.
   

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  SL - Yay!! another one for the club.  I hate it when moms send stuff that you just have to get rid of.

• SeanRenaud said on Jul 24, 2008....

  I'm about 8". . .you know I hate typing sometimes cus I can't tell if you got the joke or not.

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 24, 2008....

  SR - LOL oh shit!!  duh.  I swear I have blond roots some times.

• SeanRenaud said on Jul 24, 2008....

  You know for a girl who didn't get it your first response was VERY interesting.
   
  Me:  If your a pretty girl you should have ME in your trunk
   
  You: I don't think you'd fit
   
  Me:  I'm sure there is room up front.
   
  Like I said I don't recall it always being so easy to start talking dirty, I do so enjoy it though.

• Lucytorial said on Jul 24, 2008....

  Well my trunk - (boot) is positively boring compared... it has the spare, one vest (hubbies) one recylce shopping bag, and probably a water bottle.

• eurekame said on Jul 24, 2008....

  I'm such a dirty, dirty, dirty girl! LMAO! I love it...!!

• evil_twin said on Jul 24, 2008....

  I had to look in there to see what I had. But this was what I found:
  
  Two bags of old clothes for Goodwill that have been in there since about January.
  
  A mini air compresser
  
  First Aid kit
  
  An old dental X-ray I was supposed to take back to the dentist but forgot
  
  Muddy shoes from when I went in the ocean about 2 months ago
  
  A beach towel
  
  An empty grocery bag
  
  3 high school yearbooks that I got from a yard sale several months ago
  
  Rollerblades
  
  Assorted pieces of trash from God knows where
  
  And that's about it!

• MrSlacks said on Jul 24, 2008....

  Three hookers, a roll of duct tape, and the sense of shame with which I woke up this morning.  Also, a spare blanket in case my car breaks down in the cold!

• Me-Myself&I said on Jul 24, 2008....

  lol i wish to add just in case, i have a pick-up truck. lol....no dog in trunk. ok i'm gone.................

• quietone said on Jul 24, 2008....

  I have a truck, so I have no trunk! 

• Fallyn said on Jul 24, 2008....

  an empty laundry basket
  an extra pair of shoes,
  ....i think that's it.
  
  oh...um......i didn't look under the fold down part.....uh......
  um........there's LOTS of crap under there. that i'm dreading taking care of.
  

• polarheart said on Jul 24, 2008....

  U-I, I now have a much smaller car, so thankfully its not full of the "crap" that was in the big car.  I try to keep the stuff in there to the minimum, but Mr Polar always like to litter my "boot" (as we call it here and in SA) with all kinds of stuff. . .whenever I go away or he uses my car I always have to caution him! LOL!
   
  Polar x

• CayenneMan said on Jul 25, 2008....

   I try to keep the trunks of all my vehicles pretty much empty except for what came from the factory however, the trunk in one car is a sticky mess with a bunch of cracked 2 liter bottles of pepsi. Pepsi was on sale for 89 cents a bottle. I bought several and forgot to take them in the house. It got hot outside and you know the rest of the story .  .  .

• crybabylu said on Jul 25, 2008....

  I don't carry anything in my trunk except a spare and a jack.

• idesire2 said on Jul 25, 2008....

  if i owned a car, i would keep lots of emergency supplies in there: first aid kit, food, umbrella, xtra clothes, blanket, water, flashlight , books, telephone book, map, tennis racket and balls, and it would be all clean and organized......ahhhh.

  idesire2

• Actorguy said on Jul 25, 2008....

  I was very impressed that Sean has a sword in his trunk, but I'll bet no-one else has a parachute in theirs!  Just in case I accidently drive off a cliff :-).

  Actually, I used it in a play about a year ago and haven't been able to track down the guy who owns it.....he moved!  I assume he'll call me one day and want it back.

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 25, 2008....

  SR - Yes, despite being clueless I managed to say something almost inappropriate enough ;)

  Lucy - you need to put some whips and chains or something in there to perk it up :)

  eureka - sometimes dirty is a good thing ;)

  ET - you keep a very interesting trunk my friend.  Why did you buy yearbooks?  What was the air compressor for?

  DM - I was nodding my head until you got to the wedding cake platform thingy.  ????

  MM&I - thank you for clarifying.  I was gonna ask "hot dog or real dog?"

  MrSlacks - is the blanket to keep the hookers warm?

  quietone - I'd love to get that Honda truck that has a trunk built into the bed of the truck.  The best of both worlds.

  Fallyn - that's how I feel about my hallway closet

  polar - I've not let car size discourage me from putting a lot of stuff in my trunk ;)

  CM - something like that happened in the cabin of my old Honda.  I left an open soda in there and it evaporated so that I had thousands of dots of soda on the ceiling of the car.

  crybaby - that's just unreal!!

  idesire - and then the second day you owned it you'd toss in your spare tennis shoes, the bag of clothes you want to donate to Goodwill, etc.

  Actor - a parachute? cool.  If you want to speed up the wait for the call, just throw the parachute away.  It never fails.

• lalaine1 said on Jul 25, 2008....

  12" Ryan Audio Subs with hidden amps. thats it :)

• SeanRenaud said on Jul 25, 2008....

  I think you'll have trouble getting to the parachute in time if you drive off a cliff.  But touche' I should be prepared encase of Zombies and I need to make a quick escape and leap off a cliff.

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 25, 2008....

  lalaine - a mobil boom box, huh?
   
  SR - seems like having it in the cabin would make more sense

• princessbitch65 said on Jul 25, 2008....

  Ok, here it goes...

  I have a plastic cat litter container with plastic grocery bags I'm supposed to recycle

  10 of the "green" shopping bags

   A bottle of window washer fluid and funnels

  a squeegie(sp?)

  jumper cables

  spare tire and the tools that come with it ( came with the car)

  a "shack bag"-in case I end up staying overnight somewhere

   

   

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 25, 2008....

  PB - You sound very well prepared.

• evil_twin said on Jul 25, 2008....

  Well the yearbooks were for the 3 years after I graduated, but that I still knew people who went to the school because I had some younger friends. And I came across these at a garage sale and figured they'd be fun to look at! But as you can see I haven't looked at them yet. The air compressor was for when my tire kept going flat. You plug it into the cigarette lighter, but it's kind of crappy.
  
  -evil_twin LA
  

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 25, 2008....

  ET - A new tire would fix that going flat thing (sarcasm).  I guess if you did look through the yearbooks that would be a good thing.  I'm a little surprised someone thought to sell them.
   

• Lucytorial said on Jul 25, 2008....

  Uni ~ I as thinking of putting in some condoms and other sexual paraphenalia.. you know, dildo, cock strap, killer stellis.

• SeanRenaud said on Jul 25, 2008....

  Can I be your friend Lucy? 

• Lucytorial said on Jul 25, 2008....

  If you can fit in my boot of course! got any handcuffs?

• SeanRenaud said on Jul 25, 2008....

  Plastic, metal, close cuffs (no chain just hinges betwee the cuffs) or fur lined?
   
  I used to have a pair with ankle shackles and a long chain connecting them but I cannae find them.  They are probably in the bottom of some box.

• Lucytorial said on Jul 25, 2008....

  I lost my fur lined ones ages ago... heat of passion on a beach, I think I left them attached to the branch of a tree.  *grin*
   
  Metal, plastic's too easy to break, the fun thing about them is they can attach to the seat latches at the rear of a car (fold down seats) one each side so that would be two sets.
   
  Are you tall though? cause that could cause a little discomfort on your ass, not such a bad thing but you know, can't have the boot latch sticking into your spine... (hatch back) might need to add a cushioned blanket to my list.

• SeanRenaud said on Jul 25, 2008....

  We can use mine, it's nice a and plush, I sorta borrowed it forever from a hotel.  I lost my first set of metals ones cus I forgot them on a fense.  I was heated when I figured it out the next day.

• Lucytorial said on Jul 25, 2008....

  Was this fence in the middle of suburbia or were you playing around on someones business fence? I would have gone back to find them...

• SeanRenaud said on Jul 25, 2008....

  I did go back for them, someone had already gotten them, it wasn't really out of the way it was a fense to the wash (concrete rivers) and it was on the main path between the homes and the high school but the way the neighborhood is designed nobody is ever on that path once school closes because there is nothing else there, great spot.

• silverwhisper said on Jul 29, 2008....

  in mine: a milk crate holding various car accessories & a growler for my favorite brewpub; gift wrap; scissors; tape; tissue paper; an honest-to-goodness kite.
  
  perhaps i could reduce my clutter level by giving someone a gift kite? :D

  Hello L. & U.I

• uniquely-ironic said on Jul 29, 2008....

  SW - I love the kite!  though I suppose if you want to reduce clutter gifting it would kill two birds.....
   
  boytoy - well, you have to know Lucy to know just how funny that is.

• Lucytorial said on Aug 01, 2008....

  Hey whats so funny??? I was ready to tie sean up.... on the back seat and have my way with him... thats not remotely funny, its fun! but not funny.... unless he has a really little weener.. then that would be funny! but I don't think he does.

• SeanRenaud said on Aug 01, 2008....

  You were gonna tie me up?  When I did I miscommunicate who's trunk I wanted to be in?

• Lucytorial said on Aug 01, 2008....

  Ohh so you wanna be tied up in your trunk?? thats fine, means I get to leave the scene... hastily retreat, with the keys inside my bra..

  Nuh uh I wanna tie you up and do naughty things.

• Lucytorial said on Aug 02, 2008....

  Well if your talking that kind of game... sure why the hell not... whats the ante though Sean???? whats the goal, where are the goal posts? where is the post??
   
  ahem..
   
  what kind of naughty things Sean... I've taught a few older men a few good tricks... hope you know what you want.. cause if you don't you will be in trouble.  A hard situation to extricate yourself from maybe just a little sticky.

• SeanRenaud said on Aug 02, 2008....

  Oh you dun wanna get me talking dirty Lucy, I my dear silvered tongue may be tarnished by all the filth I've spread over the years and I always know exactly what I want.  Nothing quite like a writhing woman while you spell out the things you're going to do her, with your tongue, on her nethers.
