Gonna be livin in a Cardboard Box

[Per Swenson]

Hey All,

I often try to do a little research for my perspective on things.

Anyhoo, the other night in a typical Swenson Laugh fest,

I was bemoaning the economy. Big, no scratch that, The topic of discussion

when you are considering honing up those panhandling skills,

when I slipped in to the cardboard box riff.

You know, lines such as you would be amazed at the style you can put in a cardboard home,

cornering the market in the new Hooverville's, refrigerator box resourcing,

nevertheless we extrapolated for some time.

So, just in case I went lookin for what the competition was up to.

Get a load of this.

Looks better than my house. All it needs is a swimming pool

......All it needs is a swimming pool

They tried, cardboard doesn't hold water very well. So, do you think they are UPS shippable?

While explaining to Hunter how cardboard box living

was gonna be the next turn on the slope, he said,

"But its gonna be cold."  I told em, "Nope, we are gonna insulate

with packages of Ramen noodles. That way we eat the larder

for cooling in the spring. ;D

Hi,

        Brings new meaning to - --  just pack up and leave.

          If it rains will the ramen noodles expand and suffocate the occupants?

Seth, it may depend on the flavor. I think chicken and vegetables has the greatest potential for expansion.
