On a semi related note, I am seriously considering becoming a teenage mutant ninja turtle.
I was in Walmart yesterday looking for nail clippers and you gotta go into women's cosmetics to get them. So I finally find them and this large black guy was getting a pair, I figure he's done so I casually step in front of him to get a pair. He slams his clippers into his cart and angrily says "excuse ME" and I step back and give him a friendly "sorry, bud" which he ignores.
All this over $2 nail clippers and decades of slavery, sheesh.
If you had ponied up a few more dollars you could have gotten some Clyppi's from amazon.
Guranteed to increase your quality of life by ten fold.
This also showed up in my search.
Somewhere in this thread is a discussion of my travails in the world of nail clippers.
Long-story-short, I lost some - tried a bunch of different ones - none of them cut the mustard and I was living a life of tragic disappointment - I didn't realize how much difference nail clippers could make - finally found the old ones and life is perfect again.
There is not much I can tell you about the ones I love so much. They are just some super-old nail clippers that are perfect for me for some reason.
About all I can say is, there is nothing that could be offered to me in a straight-up trade that I would accept. I could see myself actually killing a man over them.
I committed something of a boner this morning.
There is a woman who works here who has one arm and a stump on the other side. Arm is chopped off above the elbow.
So anyway, I tore the end of a fingernail and it was ragged so I wanted to snip it off below the tear. So I needed some snippy snips.
Harmony was always my go-to person for those but she is off on mat leave now so I was asking around and I asked stump woman.
Stump woman did not have fingernail snippy snips.
What is stump woman going to do with fingernail snippy snips? Think about it dude.
I don't know what she does about the nails on the one hand but she sure as hell doesn't operate clippers with the stump.
Fokkin boner right there.
