"So, say you were meeting a new person--blind date, new friend, who knows. And you wanted them to have some idea of what kind of person you are, and who you are. But you can't actually tell them in so many words. Instead, you have to give them a box, with a dozen things in it for them to look at/read/listen to/taste/whatever. "What would you put in the box? And a copy of your journal or a link to your LJ would be the same thing as just telling them directly, yourself, so that's not allowed."
1. Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers (the book)
2. A plush penguin
3. A six-pack of Coke
4. Several issues of Bicycling Magazine
5. A DVD of The Rocky Horror Picture Show
6. San Francisco Giants cap
7. A copy of GURPS Traveller: Ground Forces
8. A live Grateful Dead CD
9. SF Convention program book
10. Black t-shirt
11. VTA bus schedules
12. Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary

In no way, shape, or form do I associate Heinlein with the movie that coincidently bares the same name.
