I wish I had looked at this list before throwing the box away. I could have had a ceremonial fire for all the sickly sweetness of the suggestions.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to make these suggestions and on top of that, it's great to start sweating over some initial ideas.
What gets my goat is that it seems like 'arts and crafts' has been taken over by sickly sweet individuals almost as if this is the new religion.
Why is it not possible today for grown man to go knitting with the ladies and enjoy a few corny jokes? What's this world coming to?
