A brewing obsession

[mellymell]

At first, it was just a hilariously strange item I found while scanning the shelves of our local TJ Maxx Home Goods store. Then I had to hold it and go show Chris who was looking at other stuff (who just shook his head disapprovingly and said "no") . Then I had to get Steff to take a pic of me with this thing. And now, the more I look at the

What the hell.

I think you need it. But too bad it's a thumb, not a finger. Otherwise it could be a tribute to Frodo.

[mellymell]

LOL! Yes!

[mellymell]

Yes, possibilities are slightly more limited being that it's a thumb and not a finger. But I can make it work!

That picture completely cracks me up!

Go get that thumb!! Do it! Doooooo it! (I'm like you - when I get something in my head...)

I appreciate your encouragement... and would like to subscribe to your pamphlet. ;)

What does one do with a gigantic metal thumb? I think you've found the best use for it possible already - posing for pictures with disapproving shoppers. Bringing it home would just be a let down.

I agree.

[mellymell]

See above. I have a use for it! I really do! Just as much of a use as any other figurine or random thing I have on any number of shelves.

Err, below. ;)

Right.... It's a cast of King Kong's thumb :P I can really only see a need for it if you are planning a Faye Wray outfit :P

[mellymell]

No way! Huge thumbs up in my office any time I'm feeling particularly discouraged by whatever I'm working on. It'll be like a giant version of the "Diligence is the mother of good fortune" fortune cookie phrase I have taped to my lamp on my desk. ;)

Heh, I love this pic! (Wait, no... I "Like!" it ;)

The look on her face is hilarious!

You have to get this. It's just too weird not to have.

[mellymell]

Heh, it was a bizarre moment captured forever and I think it's awesome.

I agree! I must have it! I appreciate your encouragement. ;)
