I have the usual complement of loose papers and CDs. Hmmm … looks like I have a box of cheese and garlic croutons as well. Ooooh, and a “Far Side” desk calendar, too. ---

My little foster sister’s bed. 🙂 Bunks, obviously. Her bed’s a futon (TWICE THE SIZE OF MINE! And she’s 14 years younger than me!), and it USED to be my couch, until she moved in. Under HER bed: - My acoustic guitar, in its very-battered hardboard case - My fiddle, in three pieces, not counting the bow - A box of tabs, chords and sheet music - A dirty cup - Old socks - My teddy bear - HER teddy bear - One combat boot. I’ve lost the other. I need a new pair, anyway. - Dust and nasty dirty awful heinous spiders ick ick ick ---

What’s under my bed? The carpet. I don’t have a bed frame right now so the box spring rests directly on the carpet. ---

I actually have nice drawers under my bed, in which I keep photo albums and other nostalgic stuff. Can you believe it? A bed under which things do not live! My boyfriend’s bed, on the other hand… I swear, I would not be surprised if new life evolved under there. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Falcon \* > \*\*2 storage boxes of shoes. And that’s it… 🙂 \*\* Ah, but it’s not shoes that’s in there, is it? I say it’s the severed heads of dozens of tiny mutant dwarves, each with a disarmingly white smile, eyes still ablaze… I forgot. Also under my bed is my pet wallabye Dave. He’s been trained to seek out the hottest women in the world and then drag them back to my lair. But Dave’s a slow learner, and he keeps bringing back pictures of Topo Gigio and Rosie O’Donnell in various stages of undress… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-under-your-bed/67122.md?page=2)
