My name is Ulrich Haarbürste and I like to write stories about Roy Orbison being wrapped up in cling

Why are chipboard desk so damned hard to assemble yet so easily torn apart? I spent several hours putting together the new desk, but one tiny worng move and I ripped to screws out of the board. It took FOREVER AND A DAY to get those screws in, but a feather touch to rip them out.

I refuse to believe the technology DOES NOT exist to reverse that.

I came home to a wonderful surprise. One of the COOLEST fan arts I've gotten in a long time.





A fan went to the Tower of the Americas, where Andrea fell, to take this pic of Andrea and an angel playng a harp for her...

It's very sweet...and I love it.

chipboard is basically sawdust and glue, inbetween whatever covers it (slightly different from plywood which is a layer of wood peeled off.) So material made out of it is not very strong. My computer desk did the same thing, I attempted to move it by pushing on the logically most solid piece of it (where all the screws were driven into, and cracked all the boards beneath it... It was on wheels too!

Not only is the picture very cool and a well-done labor of love ... the act of scrolling down, down, down from the top of the tower to the scene at the bottom built up suspense for me and made the photo even more enjoyable. It's awesome that a fan would actually go and do that. Wow!! :D

chipboard is *cheap*. It *will* fail.
