no offense intended, but only a guy would think of this. It looks like something my dad or brother would do ;) HEY- whatever works!!
Genius isn't always appreciated at first! :)
Best laugh of the day hotkitties, thank you.
Just as long as you leave one slot open for a beer, Uh! I mean coke.
genius Dave!!
Sacrilegious is more like it. A true Coca-Cola collector would not use any Coke item except for it's intended purpose. My respect for you just went down a notch. Still high up there Dave, but you are pushing it...and I don't mean the remotes.
thanks DADDY-
TGB- I keep a window open with an antique coke bottle. oops.
Well, I don't consider myself a true Coca-Cola collector, I'm a bit of a hybrid. Collector. Decorator. Innovator. gaaack.. cough...sorry, just inhaled a kernel of popcorn.
Seeee, if you had that beer......
Gonna go get one right now, rocker! :)
So its okay to turn a 1950's ice chest into a table?? lol jj
That's not too bad of a re-purposing Dave, I could do that to get some Coca-Cola up into livingroom, LOL
Ok, here's my take. If it works and you like it, screw the rules.
I didn't get where I am today by followin everybody else!
You go Dave.
Thanks Trev and Tommy! Amen Perry! It's gotta be old, authentic, and most important: F-U-N.
Great use for the carrier!!!
Thanks O.C. I took some heat from the purists, but haven't been totally ostracized yet!
Love the use of the carrier ! I know what I am going to do with mine now !
