The Boxen Saga Continues

This morning: Tall white Sake box.
Apparently it spent the day marshalling its forces; this evening there were four brown cardboard boxes spilling across the mat and porch, with the white sake box at the head of the column.


Also? Anybody who says "Well, the 'punk' in steampunk is just a cute turn of phrase and doesn't really mean anything" probably needs a pop in the beezer.

"Maybe there should be more punk in Steampunk. More anarchy, more edge. The world is not tea parties and polite behavior, the Empire is collapsing and the world is burning." -- [livejournal.com profile] anachronaut

This right here. And if the world is not burning, perhaps it needs a little help.

What the hell is "punk"?

That, my good sir, can evoke months of bickering amongst the hardiest of souls. But, this below is drawn directly from the website:

The word punk is a very old English term that originally meant a prostitute, but which by the 20th century had evolved into a term meaning an outsider, a street person, or a ruffian (it's fairly clear why the punk rock subculture used this word to describe itself).

Oh, yes then in that case it's definitely fisticuffs for those benighted souls who deny the relevance of the word in that context.

Beezer generally means 'nose', although it used to also mean 'face'. Boxing slang, in all likelihood, from the early 1900's.

Edited for punctuation.
