Drabble by Kevin Fagan for February 16, 2025

The only place to go with that crap is outside.

How come she knows his cousin better than him?

The post office worries about white powdery substances, I see this as a far worse problem.

I remember the first time I got a card with that stuff in it. Dumped it all over my clothing, stood up to brush it out and then it was all over the floor and I had to sweep it up. Luckily it wasn’t on carpet or it might still be stuck in there!

Confetti & glitter in cards- ugh! Why? (I edited my original comment; it was rude! Sorry!)

A friend of mine calls it “the devil’s confetti”.

At my house we call glitter “Herpes” because one you get it, it never goes away.

Gitter: the bane of high school custodians everywhere. The ones at the local high school wish they could make the cheerleaders responsible for cleaning up all of that $$%#.

I think that much glitter might violate the Clean Air Act.

In the Navy we’d make dit-dot bombs for officers we didn’t like. Just a shoebox filled with tiny little paper dots from paper reports (think of the paper punched for a three-ring binder only much smaller). We’d staple a rubberband across the box opening, stick a 3×5 index card between the 2 strands, wind it up tight, and then close the lid and leave the box on the officer’s bunk. When he opened it the index card would spin like a fan and blow the dit-dots everywhere. Bonus points if you got the officer just after he’d showered.

And now you know, all that glitters is not gold.

A pretty box of raccoon scat would be an appropriate gift for Karla.

Hate that stuff. Came into the office on a couple of different birthdays to find it all over my desk and office. I’m pretty sure that if I could find them, the keyboards I had at those time would still have glitter in them.

I guess I’m in the minority, I like glitter, it reminds me of how happy it made my kids and it now makes my grand daughter happy whenever she uses it. It looks like moonlight on fresh snow.

aww… how, um, thoughtful of her!

I hate glitter

I found a card for my brudder that played the Hamster Dance (1999 or 2000). He opened it and all three of his dogs peed on the floor.

I have a friend who does that. When she was getting married, the “save the date” card and the invitation were full of celebratory confetti.

I took my petty revenge. I collected all the confetti from the invitation and sent it back with my reply.

She loved it. sigh

As if the glitter flakes weren’t bad enough, along came that fine glitter, which really settles into everything! For some reason, greeting card makers insist on putting that stuff on most of their cards nowadays. It would be okay if the stuff actually stayed on the cards!
