Walmart Selling Fake Out Crates
I don’t know why Walmart is calling this a milk crate. It does not stack, it’s made of cardboard (not plastic) and worst of all they are charging $34.99. –> OIA Onyx Milk Crate via Walmart.com
Max Balances 15 crates, at Age 13
Young Max, age 13, is a balancing force. He is already doing 15 milk crates on his chin. I think Jon Evans record of 98 (on his head) is in jeopardy. –> Awesome! Watch Max Balancing 15 Milk Crates via YouTube
Souped up (with crates) Corolla
Anthony has pimped his Corolla with an innovative milk crate storage rack. It adds extra storage beyond the trunk. It is done with serious conviction and execution. I love it.

Milk Crate Toy Storage
Being a parent, from what I’ve seen, involved a mass amount of toys and distractions for the kids. Jessie posted this great solution that looks pretty good and keeps the toys off the floor. More pics on the link. –> Milk Crate Toy Storage via Three Rivers
Crate Side Tables At The Movies
At the Speak Easy Cinema in Melbourne, Australia they had a problem. Where do I put my drink? They found the answer in the milkcrate. With the help of some scrap plywood, signboard and even some cupboard doors (with handles still on) they managed to create a slew of tables to make the viewing experience a little better. Thanks Ben (from Speak Easy Cinema for sending this in).

Huge Plastic Thievery Ring Put Down
Five people in Maryland (Bodymore, Murdaland?) were arrested for stealing over $400,000 dollars worth of plastic pallets and crates. It took seven months to catch these maniacs. I wonder what they were building? –> cartoon via The Daily Bumble, news –> Milk Crate Thefts via Dairy Business
Girls Saves Puppies and Milkcrate from Shipwreck
Laura Hughes (below) saved 9 puppies in a miraculous effort by balancing a milkcrate filled with nine Rottwieler puppies while swimming ashore after her boat capsized. Two other dogs swam on their own and their were no casualties. Thank goodness she kept a milkcrate on board! Also, this is an amazing headline. –> British sailing woman swam ashore with puppies on head via Telegraph.uk

So simple and so right, Etsy maker NotToday created these clever and functional cushions for your milk crate seating. They are a little pricey for my cheap behind (grid marks are not sexy) but you guys out there should get some. Poor Man’s Patio Milk Crate Chairs via Renter’s Relief on Michi Girl
