If You Need Me, I'll Be In My Fort
This is an outrage. It's not fair and I'm not standing for it. Why didn't they make this when I was a kid and needed to entertain myself with dirty laundry? Why do they only make it now, when I'm grown up and have expensive toys that need playing with?
Who am I kidding. I still make forts out of couch cushions and blankets!
Which is why CrazyForts get me so slaphappy - now children (and the occasional homosexual) get to engineer their forts with simple sticks and balls that can be assembled into a fanciful variety of shapes, like this "igloo" inspired framework we see here.
So first you design your fortress and build its framework, and then you cover it with dirty laundry. And for those of you who think that this might not be as awesome as I seem to think it is, let me remind you: with this technology at our disposal, today's children (and the occasional homosexual) can build stone-age era dwellings in an afternoon!
When was the last time you built a yurt?

Other stuff like this: crazyforts, dirty laundry, forts, yurts
I try to build a yurt every time Neil DeGrasse Tyson tells me I don't need to. He's right that Pluto isn't a planet, but the sheer force of second graders against him has me worried.
Be gentle, peeps.
The idea of a man your size crawling into an igloo of sheets and dirty laundry is the most adorable thing ever.
I would join you in a fort Tiny.
