The Thing, No. 10: Starlee Kine - Crying Instructions, 2008

 Item — Box 274: [Barcode: 31858072460607]
Identifier: CC-50951-72029
Scope and Contents

The text of the pamphlet deals with a bad movie entitiled "Garden State." The text laser etched into the wood block deals with the purchase and cutting of an onion. Kine states in the pamphlet that her object is a cutting board and recommends that the more the board is used, the less the text can be read, and if all goes as planned, "the quieter the ghosts of meals past will become." She also recommends that you first slice an onion on the board that will cause you to cry for as a mental cathartic. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Identifier: CC-50270-71337
Scope and Contents

This publication is edited by John Herschend and Will Rogan. The paper roll is titled "A Letter from Trevor" and describes the significance of the image on the mug. It is from a secret military project patch of an alien with a chain around its neck and weird writing on the bottom of Klingon text that translates to "Don't Ask". Trevor's research revealed that the patch had been made by Robert Fabian and colleagues at the headquarters of the Air Force Space Command strictly unofficially and was worn on their flight suits for several months before it was spotted by someone in authority who asked where he could get one. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
