[sdiy] Mess and the Y Chomosome ?

[harrybissell]

Ahh... when I first looked I saw the venetian blind crooked and thought
"what a wuss... he's trying for a look just by hanging the blinds crooked..."

but indeed you have a quality start. My favorite is the cardboard box stashed
at a random angle behind the workstation...

but the pop cans are a non-starter...  You could pick up a point or two for some
soft drinks that have not been available in a while...  an original 10 oz bottle of

"Dr Pepper" with the cryptic 12 - 9 - 3 numbers on the front would be good...

or failing that... tip one of those cans over and let the pop run down the side
of the table... and dry   :^P

around on list...)
