boxes are an acceptable decorating choice!
Almost as good as milk crates!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I keep telling you that boxes are an acceptable decorating choice!
HA! When I first moved in here, I didn't have a lot of furniture. (I was coming from an apartment about 1/4 the size.) My first coffee table was two moving boxes with large picture frames placed on top.
Of course, I did get all crafty about it and bought wood-grain contact paper to cover the boxes.
Good times, man. Good times.

I got rid of all the boxes. Had to, to make room for the cat hair.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Nuh and uh. Tom Scola is a grown-up person who owns good books and other pleasing possessions, and he has spent the last few years slogging through some unbelievably difficult shit to become better and stronger and happier (or, possibly, to become happier by realizing how good and how strong he already is, whether or not he believes it), and a good kind strong grown-up person like that deserves to come home at night to a place with real, grown-up shelves displaying his books and action figures and Buffista boy tiara and photos and things, not milk crates.
Somebody stop me before I Queer Eye the poor lad.

See that's something that I wouldn't think of. I'd just throw a tablecloth over 'em and be done with it. I'm realllly lazy.

Cat hair is like sand in a jar of rocks, it always finds a way to fit so you coulda kept the boxes!

Regrettably, most of the boy tiaras the boy Buffistas got looked kinda like more-elaborate fast food or Christmas cracker crowns. If we do another tiara exchange, we should get all the boys something more like this.

Good point, Dawn, but my way I get to get MORE boxes.
