this...."One minute, I'm cheerfully glossing the bottom of my box..."

has tickled me so this afternoon.

your day sounds like some I've had...minus the kitty part.

I try to put a positive spin on...

"no brains, no headaches..."

cheers me up everythime.

Yeah, anytime I talk about polishing, sanding, or unscrewing my box, I get amused. I'm never going to get my head out of this gutter, am I?

[graciebaby_]

nope.

but thats a good thing.

All I can say I know the feeling that one's hands and coordination (and luck, the thread that binds the two together) are out for the day, or else actively hate you.

It only got more interesting. I left my purse at the restaurant, de-haired my favorite paintbrush, and appear to have (for real) lost my shoes.

[camel_pimp]

...how did you de-hair the paintbrush?

[naamah_darling]

I soaked it in alcohol to dissolve some gunk that'd worked itself up near the ferrule, right? I forgot about it, left it in for, like, several hours. And in washing it out, I soaped it and used HOT WATER to rinse it, forgetting that hot water plus alcohol is a pretty good way to dissolve the glue holding the bristles of a cheap brush in the metal part. So about a quarter of the hair came out. Which is what I get for buying cheap brushes and then doing stupid things to them, but still. I sort of needed that brush. :/

No. They're cute, though, which helps. Except Mathurin isn't really cute, either. He's pretty unfortunate-looking, actually.

...but to actually taste-test them, and from there investigate the various "flavors," that is not the action of a sane mind.

No, it really isn't, and I can say this with authority. I've participated in a Milk-Bone taste-test myself; I found that the veggie and the bacon flavored ones were the most palatable. All of them were gritty, texture-wise, though.

I never could figure out why Victor-doggie liked them, but flatly refused to eat lima beans. ;)

[naamah_darling]

I like the milk(?) flavored ones, and the plain ones the best. The thing about the cheap ones is that the bone meal is less finely milled, meaning I got tiiiiiny bone chips in my molars. I kinda liked the crumblier, flakier texture as opposed to the brand name's sharp snap, but the bone chips were a big minus. The flavors were a little more robust in the cheap ones, too.

. . .

That's clearly all very disgusting. Nobody should ever kiss me, ever again.

Except, you know, my breath is all fresh now. :D

As a life-long klutz, with occasional RSI flareups that just exacerbate my running war with gravity, I feel your pain.

And I've sampled dog biscuits several times, although they were at least my home-made ones where I knew everything that went into them was perfectly edible for people. They still didn't taste anywhere near as good as they smelled, but the dogs seem to like them well enough.

Never tried the store-bought biscuits, although I must confess to having taste-tested some commercial iguana chow once. It looked and smelled remarkably like an insanely expensive herptile version of Fruity Pebbles, but alas, the flavor didn't really live up to that.

No, no- I've just been under the impression that you can make just about anything sound entertaining. And the fact I found this entry, with reference to 'cat-barf encrusted towels,' to be entertaining just bears that out.
