[TheForge] [OT] bobcat

[Albin Drzewianowski]

"Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one 
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same."

The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.
