I think a deep, dark, chocolatey brown'd be quite nice, actually.
No, wait. I just want a candy bar. Sorry.

MMMMMMmmmmmmmm nougat.
What IS nougat anyway? Other than a funny word, I mean.
cartoon girls
Spartus Posted Apr 21, 2000
Well...I didn't know either, sooooo...
Main Entry: nou·gat
Pronunciation: 'nü-g&t, esp British -"gä
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from Provençal, from Old Provençal nogat, from noga nut, from (assumed) Vulgar Latin nuca, from Latin nuc-, nux -- more at NUT
Date: 1827
: a confection of nuts or fruit pieces in a sugar paste
Sounds temptingly delicious now, no? "Mommy! I want that processed chocolate bar that contains up to 3.2% federally sanctioned rat droppings and fur that's chock-full of a confection of nuts or fruit pieces in a sugar paste!"
Can't tell you how many times I said that when I was young.
P.S. "Nougat" also reminds me of those old SNL skits with Bill Murray. "Noogienoogienoogienoogienoogie...."

I'm beginning to think that a day just isn't a day until I read a post with "rat droppings" in it.
Now, if you'll excuse me I'm off to sleep and swollow several bugs.

This helps. That way, they can only crawl into your ears.

Earplugs? I'm pretty sure they're sanitized or something, but I once went to this factory where they made them and the guy that was making them I saw him and he had a big open sore on his face.
And it goes without saying that his nails were filthy.

What was he building with the nails? You know you can get infections from rusty nails.
cartoon girls
Spartus Posted Apr 23, 2000
They were very tiny nails; he was building the earplugs.
Come to think of it, the guy was only about four inches tall.

Are you sure he wasn't a prize in a breakfast cereal?
cartoon girls
Spartus Posted Apr 24, 2000
Well, now that you mention it, he kept going on about purple horseshoes or something like that. Not entirely certain.

The best way to deal with THAT guy is to steal his pot 'o gold and then smoosh him with something heavy.
cartoon girls
Spartus Posted Apr 24, 2000
Um...
Like, you mean...er...
Like his pot o' gold that you just stole?
Or are we talking, like, Crip? 'Cause that stuff's not very heavy.
cartoon girls
Classic Krissy Posted Apr 24, 2000
No, the pot o' gold or your foot. Both are good choices. You could also have a serious discussion about the state of the American Government with him until he commits suicide from hoplesness, but that's a different kind of heavy and you never know if you'll have a free fifteen minutes.

I wouldn't want to get leprechaun goo on my shoes, though. Do you know how HARD that is to get off? It's like scraping resin from the inside of a pi--er, Hi! 
As far as the state of the government...I wouldn't need 15 minutes. I'd need roughly two, maybe two and a half seconds.
