Let's build a fort

Someone once asked me where I saw myself in five years. I am twenty four now and I can't decide which is the scarier prospect: being twenty nine and still building bedsheet forts, or being twenty nine and not building them anymore.

But to hell with that, because right now I am twenty four and I am happy building bedsheet forts. Did you watch Where The Wild Things Are? It's a wonderful film, really brings out the inner child. One of the best scenes is where
Max is talking about all the things they'll have in their fort, like - and hearing him say this is the happiest I have been at the cinema ever - a detective agency.

Ideally my makeshift fort would contain a telescope, so I could see the moon and other people's forts, and a dock because where else would I put my pirate ship?

Let your inner child run wild. Tell me what you'd put in your fort.

If I had a million dollars
I'd build a tree fort in our yard
If I had a million dollars
You could help, it wouldn't be that hard
If I had a million dollars
Maybe we could put like a little tiny fridge in there somewhere

You know, we could just go up there and hang out. Like open the fridge and stuff. There would already be foods laid out for us, like little pre-wrapped sausages and things, mmm. They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don't have pre-wrapped bacon. Well, can you blame 'em? Uh, yeah!

That, oh god that, i love that song.

I actually renovated my student shared kitchen with my flat mates a couple of years ago into a fort, we used tables to create tunnels to the oven and fridge so we could eat and had a read supply of beer and pitched a tent for a living/sleeping area with a couple of laptops in for some LAN fun.
It was a right laugh. The cleaners came in the next day, took one look at it and walked straight back out.

It will have my laptop in one corner, a mini-fridge and I am stealing your telescope idea. I will most likely have my xbox residing in my fort with a hole big enough to see my TV.

Not a very exciting fort but still doing what you would daily but in a fort made of mattresses? Makes your daily routine 10 times more awesome.

A generator that is fueled by discontent and broken promises. Also I need a room called the well of souls, that at a certain time of day with the properly heighted staff and crystal you can find the location of my collection of crystal glasses which I use to make music by rubbing my finger on the rim.

This sounds a lot like the Best Thing Ever.

Do you feel like you've grown up since then or are you still on the Inner Child's side of the Growing Up vs. Forts Are Awesome debate?

Ooo barbaric =D And their teeth around totem shrines?
Nah, I give them to Sasquatch to decorate his room with, unless the Necrocorn ends up eating them again.

I do use their arms for backscratchers once most of the skins been removed (Keeping enough to allow the arms and hands to stay attached.)

Forts will always be awesome.
A part of me will always wander around a supermarket down the toilet roll aisle and think:-
"Wow, if only I could stay over night here a build a huge fort out of these toilet roll packets... Maybe get a friend and build two and have a battle of some kind."

I don't want a fort with a detective agency, I want a detective agency with a fort [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4].

Supah glue does the job so you wont have to smell the stench of deadness.

there would be a lot of walls to hang my mask collection on

I would also grab my wooden shield from that fort I built when I was 9 and put it on the new one since it has the Finland flag on it

also it wood be in a tree

and I would nail plywood everywhere to defend against attackers, except there would also be 2' steel sheets behind those.

I'd have electricity from solar panels and a wind turbine

and the whole thing would be designed to reflect the sound of my jamming and metal music to the front of the tree

and I'd cover the whole thing in something that resembles a giant Gilli suit that matches the type of tree that it's in

of course it would also be a 3 story fort

ah................ anyone want to donate?

If I didn't like the scent of the deceased would I keep their severed heads? Plus i'm pretty sure the skeletal remians might give off a certain odor by themselves.
