It would complement your eyes, Tom.
....at least, *some* of it would.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's plaid and polka-dots. I think it covers everyone.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Good point. I think you should definitely print out the picture to show the painters.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Tom, I think you should explore possibilities like this for your home decor. V. handy for instances of unwanted company.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've always wanted to decorate a room like this: Take a number of small wooden shims and nail to the walls. Cover the walls in chickenwire, and then cover that with paper mache or similar. Then paint. The object is to introduce subtle curvature into the walls. If done subtly enough, the result is that a person in the room would have a vague sense that something is not right, without being able to tell what is actually wrong.

That sounds like the room in Hell reserved for Frank Gehry.

The Cramps described a room like this when they talked about their greatest record collecting score. They were in Cleveland and somebody advertised old rockabilly 78s. They had to go a black neighborhood and the women that let them in, had racks of vintage 78s and Sun 45s. She'd taken chicken-wire and plaster and took out all the corners in the rooms so it looked like a cave. Then she painted it black. Then she took baby dolls that she'd collected at the dump, cut off their faces and glued the faces to the ceiling. She topped it off with xmas lights.
I can't tell you how much I wish I could have seen that room.

You seriously need to go to the Paper Moon Diner here in Baltimore. It's not quite that, but disembodied doll parts (and other toys) hanging from the ceiling? Check.
