The Answer, Or Another DragonCon Entry
Five. Five 18-gallon tubs can easily fit in the Prius if we don't take the rolling cooler. Four fit very comfortably with the cooler in between two of them. If I had taken out the tonneau cover, I could have probably gotten six tubs into the back of the car.
Somehow, we came back with fewer items to pack in the car. Probably because we ate some of the food, drank all our drinks, and managed to get more clothes into the clothes tub than actually were in it on the trip down. Those same clothes had formerly been on hangers and in bags. However, we did come back with new acquisitions--most of them small and easily tucked into odd nooks and crannies. I somehow managed to store more hats in the two "hat boxes" than originally were transported down to Atlanta
Somewhen along the convention, mistressrhi declared me to be the MacGyver of the trip. Gunsmith, artist, haberdasher, and wrench-thrower (hey, I don't think we got my wrench back). What started it was mistressrhi managing to break or lose a piece of her pump-action BB rifle. I fixed it with a ring or something I happened to have in my pocket. The next day, she made me "Barbie" it up with some pink duct tape she had and the white paint I had on hand--Merald un-Barbied it for his Jurassic Park outfit, though--it would have been hilarious for him to tote it around with the Barbie "B" on it. During the Time-Travelers' Ball, I ended up helping people deal with their hats--which for some reason insisted on trying to fall off. I stopped short of turning people's heads into voodoo dolls with hat pins, though. I neglected to bring the glue gun to deal with the inevitable issues my own stuff had, but considering that the glue from that glue gun doesn't really work all that well, I know *why* I didn't bother to bring it.
Considering that I have watched all of less than one episode of MacGuyver, I am assuming this accolade is a compliment.... ;^) Oh, the wrench? mistressrhi wanted one for her train crew outfit. However, there was one thing I was unable to fix, and it broke my MacGyver Fu. honeypot904 had acquired some sort of little canvas bag that heavily relied on zippers--none of which worked, no matter what direction or "priming" was used. Take it back to Mr Grumpy and tell him it is defective.
