Oh my.

I don't think the bobbling primitive, the Nemesis of the Bostonian Drunkard, is going to go for this idea.

Thanks to whoever sent me over here. I just couldn't see it on my own

So, today I crawled into my dog's giant crate and just for fun I curled up in his doggy bed but then lightening stuck. I realized that all of the stupid stuff I had been doing to make my room a completely sound and heat mediated room so that I can comfortably tolerate being a night worker was right there, with just a little rework, not much really at all.

And then I thought about aticking a whole crowd of these things in my livingroom as an alternative to the wet outdoors (it's wet here a lot - PNW but during most of the day, being homeless, while yucky isn't life threatening.

And I was thinking with black cloth over and some insulation, free earplugs and free showers we could maybe house a half dozen people in what seems barbaric conditions but just having had a nice rest in privatebed and knowing how cheaply one can get space age padding (they used to call it foam rubber),

Is this an idea full of a million wholes? Please shoot this animal early before I start coming up with how to get the crates. Didn't Japan do something like this during their lost years.

No primitive's paid attention to the tagalong primitive, alas.

1. Is the idea that they're orignally animal crates that is the problem?

The above's the whole campfire; one wonders where the bobbling primitive is.

She and her homeless buds are at the moment pushing her humble abode down to the carwash to get it cleaned up. She decided to join the evil rich by subletting the backseat and a wash job will increase the rent substantially.

Let me get this straight.  He wants to fill his own living room with dog crates, cover them with black cloth, and invite homeless people to sleep it off in them?  Does his own dog have a say? 

This idea has a million wholes in it.

Somebody's been watching the Travel Channel about Japan again.

Shhhh....that's the design of the new camps sleeping accommodations. A 3x3x7 open ended wooden boxes stacked 10 high in a warehouse. One box for each DUmmie and when they die we slide it out and....well, lets just say it has dual uses.
