The Box thread
Are you a relatively new Raffer ( ~50 posts or less?)
Do you want to be a fully initiated r
Raffer?

If you request it, I will box you, which will make you one of us. If you’re not a new Raffer I maybox you anyway but no promises.

The box is largely a cool place, but when you leave you will smell like Giraffe pee

I love this place but THAT BOX is cruel and unusual punishment. Take Febrez and hand sanitizer. You won't need TP.

Juice box? You wish. It's more like a crate previously used to ship hogs with diarrhea. And they never even hosed it out.

I'm still in therapy after my time in the Box, and regardless of what they tell you during the sign-up interview, the Gweeb health insurance does not cover Box-related therapy...nor do they reimburse you the cost of your hazmat suit...you really gotta read the fine print...especially the part about Californian garbage and reality TV shows...

Bah, kids today. You talk about how the Box is this terrible experience. Back in my day, we had BARBI. The Box was truly horrific then, not the mildly annoying time out it is today.

If my pony was dead I wouldn't have to share my nuts with him anymore. So that's alright. Riding him will be more fun if he's alive though, so I'll probably teach Hoofer to jump over the box instead of going in.

Hi Rat Diva! Do you play that violin or just chew on it? Maybe a little of both? I'll give you ten walnuts for a tiny concert.

I am a connoisseur of the arts. It soothes the nerves. Hoofer likes it, too.

I've played violin in the past (and lost ) so nowadays I mostly use it to kabong people who annoy me. That's why so many people here have bruises on their ankles

Ooh, a weapon. Smart thinking.

I agree that people can be very annoying. I usually just throw walnuts at their heads. Maybe get Hoofer to stomp them if I'm really mad. My bazooka is only used for chases.

No. You just accept it after a while and then the Covid takes away your sense of smell. So it's all good.
