Wine corks, stolen items, spare change and fishbowls...

Membs the time I did a DIMS project with Jayne to make a new wine cork container and we failed?  Well, last week Ben and I went to Lulu's Baitshack on Fort Lauderdale Beach to get some food and a fishbowl.  You see the fishbowl in the picture below?  Yep, that's our new wine cork container.  Except we put it in the dishwasher and it's no longer fish bowl shaped.  Sad day. May just have to go back for a new one!


The fishbowls and food at Lulu's are great.  And the fishbowls are free.  The fondest memory I have at Lulu's is when Jayne was down a few years ago.  We went to Lulus to get their mountain of nachos (which are the best nachos to date I've ever had at a restaurant...covered in red beans, spicy chicken, sausage, cheese, jalapenos, and more) and a fishbowl.  When we finished our fishbowl (I might add they give you an extra shot in an alligator toy...you can kinda see the alligator above) we decided it was only appropriate that we keep the fishbowl.  Without knowing it was actually FREE, we dumped the ice under the table, shoved the fishbowl in my beach bag and darted.  We felt so accomplished until a few months later I found out we didn't have to jump through hoops to keep the fishbowl.  So while we thought we were living life on the edge by hi-jacking a fishbowl, we were actually hi-jacking a free souvenir.  Good times either way. 

In addition to being a great souvenir and wine cork holder, the fishbowl is a great coin holder!  Ben and I went a few years ago and he brought the fishbowl back to Winston to hold his change.  For some reason these fishbowls always come with good stories because one day someone broke into Ben's fraternity house and stole his fishbowl.  THAT'S IT.  Not his laptop, not the TV, nope. His spare change. Guess not all robbers know what they're doing.

Gone fishin',
