Soapbox

I'll take it! I'll take eleven!

The soapbox is a small wooden shipping box that Homestar Runner has used as a podium in several toons. Its contents increase by one with most appearances. To get "on a soapbox" is a popular American idiom that means to make a flamboyant or persuasive speech in an unofficial setting.
