Cheap ladies perfume + bad hygiene = uke:

Patchouli oil is the WORST. The smell of H.I.P.P.I.E.S. uke:

Gent's cologne and nicotine are another lethal combination. I had a boss in the '80s who reeked of Camel filters and Ralph Lauren's "Polo." They called it "Polo" because it smelled like something bouncing around under a horse.

Polo thinks you are tops, but now his feelings are hurt !

Polo always smelled like Pinesol to me.

I haven't seen H.I.P.P.I.E.S since '67.

but I'll take your word.

Oh sure brag because you are on the other side of the country and don't have to put up with them every single day.........:doh: I am loading up a container of them and sending them out to you right now. That way you can experience Patchouli smell first hand.....

Look bub...I don't mind LizzieMaine's comments (although it did sting a little)
because I love that lady & she's usually right.

But that doesn't apply to you so watch it !
Also...you can keep your H.I.P.P.I.E. friends
I don't need them, Thank You !

The H.I.P.P.I.E.S. would like you---with fava beans.

 

[jamespowers]

It is...what it is !

Clearly you have the object wrong in that sentence.

 

[jamespowers]

Funny. You are a regular Heisenberg. No principle but a Heisenberg.

Polo should sue Mr. Lauren for egregious violation of his personal copyright. Cats always win court cases.

Good to know that .

Also Polo & I or is it Polo & me ?

Anyway...we learned a new word,... "egregious".
Thank You


Seriously : you are a wealth of information.
Here's hoping you find that "dag-blasted" clanking noise on your :car: this Sunday !

Yep, she started in ventriloquism as a kid in the thirties, around the time Charlie McCarthy was a fad, and dabbled a bit in radio herself before going into TV in the late 40s. Later retired from show biz to become a doctor, of all things. I don't believe she was ever sponsored by a toilet paper firm.

I did, speaking of which, finally remember the brand name of the splintery cheap paper we had at the gas station. It was called "Mosinee," the same company that manufactured those cheap red paper multifold towels for the windshield-washer dispenser.

I remember getting a photo of some cousin's kid sent by her proud grandma. She was on a horse in her little cowgirl outfit, so naturally, her nomme de guerre in our house became "Judy Splinters."

Mosinee is a small town in Wisconsin just south of Wausau on the road to Stevens Point. Big paper mill area, so we can presume that's where the paper came from.

We had that same brand at school, for both hands and backsides. "Mosinee Turn-Towls" was the trademark on the dispenser. The school board spared every expense for our comfort.

Now that you mention it, I remember writing paper with those little splinters in them handed out upon which we honed our writing skills.

We had that cheap paper as well with the pink and bluish lines on them.

Next time you go to a restaurant, food stand or truck, or fast-food joint that uses those brown paper table-top dispenser napkins -- "Torx" brand or something similar -- take a good look at one. I have several on my desk right now that came with a takeout fish-and-chips supper the other night. When I unfold one and shine a flashlight thru the opposite side, I can see -- splinters. Not large or thick or especially easy to see, but they are unmistakably splinters and they are unmistakably there.

"We've come so far."

Polo & I were curious... how far have you come in determining what is causing the clanking noise on the Plodge [huh]

 

[LizzieMaine]

It's pouring rain today and gale-force winds. No car work to be done today. Probably won't get a chance to look at it until next week.

Holy Crimony! Next time I get one I will check it out. I have never gotten a splinter from one yet though.
