Are we still allowed to express surprise that anyone who would choose such a geeky solution has a girlfriend? Or have we all grown up?

I think we're allowed to express surprised at the fact that the girlfriend would put up with a relatively unaesthetic solution to this problem.

Although I guess in the end they'll probably cover up the bare materials with something nice. Maybe a rug.

You will be gratified to know that the first suggestion that "the girlfriend" made was to cover it with a rug.
