Day 143, Cardboard castle, objects of desire

As a serious cardboard collector my life has been devoted to the accumulation and agglomeration of the finest of the configurations of corrugated and rigid paper constructions.  It should be plain from the previous sentence that 'serious cardboard collector' refers to the human being serious not the stiff and multilayered boxboard.

The term 'cardboard' has been in use for over three hundred years.  Those of us with an interest in the product refute, deny and object to the term cardboard, but for introductory reasons it must be used in the first paragraph to give an understanding of the later words.

Honestly.

In fact it is not unknown for the entire household to build shrines from the structurally superior material.  Therein objects, also made of strengthened, fibre based material, are placed.  These objects are much smaller than the large packaging items that serious IT kit is delivered in.  Gewgaws, trinkets and bibelots become fetishised in the glorious, decorous surrounds.

Obviously this may all appear quite weird and I would rather word didn't get out.

I'll finish here before I disclose too much.
