    I’m also looking for an armour, or maybe even an armwordeobe.

        You do realize that wordeobe is a vulpes-sutra position don’t you?

    Wordeobe was a predecessor to Scrabble; it never caught on because it was too complicated. You could roll dice to move the other players’ boxes as well as your own letters, so nothing but two-letter words were likely to survive.

    Warsrobe was an attempt to make the game more interesting; the boxes and letters came in three sizes. and they had to fit properly. I think there was something about a lion and a witch that could magically change the score, but I could be confusing it with another unlikely invention.

    The modern version is played on a computer, of course; it’s called War of Wordcraft.

    I wonder if they belonged to someone famous? Then they’d be STAR WARSROBE boxes.

    Ah, yes, that was one of my favorite books – “The Not-a-Lion, the Lacawates Valtrus-Suka, and the Wordeobe.”

    It’s a good box, love its cardboard
    Love that detritus and its area, too
    It’s a good box, crazy but free OBO
    Love its largeness and its warsrobe, too

    It’s a long box found in [location]
    There’s a freeway runnin’ next its yard
    It’s a bad Sparky ’cause he can’t even spell it
    It’s a bad Sparky for not breaking it apart

    And it’s free, free Wordeobe’, Wordeobe’
    And it’s free, free Wordeobe’, Wordeobe’

    I see Sparky is getting better at the high-contact sport he created, combat Craigslist. You dress in camo and pads and carry paintball guns adjusted to very high velocity. You sneak around the house looking for something you no longer need. You then sneak to the computer and create an ad to get rid of the unnecessary item. Of course once your opponents hear the tell-take klikety-klak of the keyboard, they rush the room where the computer is kept and fire as many paintballs as they can. What makes the game extra challenging is the only light in the computer room is from the computer monitor. So people sometimes take the keyboard and hide anywhere the cord lets them.

    Competitors have to type very fast while keeping their eye on the door, which means they usually end up with gibberish.

    Points are awarded for how intelligible the post is and deducted for how seriously your opponents injure you. Some opponents forego the paintball guns and emulate NFL linebackers.

    WORDEOBE-WAN-KENOBE was a WARSROBE boxer a long time ago, in an imagination far, far away from reality.

    There is a furniture store in Idaho that has two signs on the building.
    “Idaho’s WALLBED Store
    Custom Furniture,
    OFFICE
    BEDROOM
    TV CENTERS
    ARMORIES”
    I think it’s obvious a WARSROBE could be found here as well.

    @ least they spelled armoire correctly on their website.

    An armwar by any other name would smell as musty.

    Too bad this is posted in July. If it had been early May, it would’ve worked out nicely as a gift-giving opportunity.
