An image this evocative could bring anything to mind, but, curiously, the first thing I though of was my dear departed grandpa.
He was a meticulous man, and loved while away the hours working on projects in his "shop". The shop in question was essentially just a bench in his garage, on which he would transform driftwood into clocks and repair gardening tools that had suffered from years of use. Not much, really. But one wall of the room was his toolbox, a floor-to-ceiling sheet of plasterboard full of evenly spaced holes, almost exactly as seen above. In those holes he could place small metal hooks, on which he would hang his hardware when not in use. And each tool had its own outline: he had taken a Sharpie and drawn on the wall the silhouette of a hatchet, and a hammer, and a saw, so there was never any mistake where everything would go between sessions in the shop.
Now it's BDiF turns to play populist, seeking votes from the Twitter constituency. With @s and #s already used, the pool of microblogging-affiliated punctuation marks from which our teams can draw is growing perilous low.
Also, fun fact: among Jay-Z's 99 problems were "keep biting the inside of my cheek", "fuse blows when I plug hair dryer into bathroom outlet", and "guy at Subway keeps putting cucumbers on my turkey club". It's all there in the lyrics, look it up.
Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Matthew Baldwin.
