Step 1: Get some white chocolate. Step 2: Melt chocolate in saucepan. Step 3: Clean a plastic deodorant stick holder (you know, the thing the stick deodorant comes in. That thing). Wash it well. Step 4: Fill holder with melted white chocolate. Step 5: Stick it in the fridge until firm. Step 6: Meet person you want to prank, say "Sorry, my sugar's crashing, excuse me" and pull out stick. Take huge bite of "deodorant". Offer prankee a bite. Enjoy their reaction.
The only thing I can think of is somebody didn't latch the back door of the semi that was carrying Victoria's Latest Secret. Doesn't explain the pairs that have apparently been worn....
Aww, thanks! About Axel's hair...the reason it looks so wooly is because I had bought it as a spiky punky wig, kind of like this one here: http://shop.iparty.com/Blue-and-White-Sports-Fanatic-Wig/36445/product . Except at first this wig was a bing cherry red color, not the deep red Axel's hair should be. And it was so damn FLUFFY. So I had to fix that. First by fixing the color I dyed it. And by dying I mean sprayed the whole thing with Rustoleum, since the wig's strands were plastic. Then after it looked like roadkill after drying, I tried to fluff it up using Got2BGued spiking glue, Rave hair spray, and glue. I don't dye wigs anymore. now I try to get wigs that are pretty close to the character's hair and style them using the aforementioned stuff. I have tried pomade a few times. And Riley's wig actually came like that. I'm having a field day looking for N's hair now. Hoping to hit some Halloween sales soon.
I've had the same problem for months with our ISP. We use Charter Communications here, and several times a week both phone and internet both just go down. We used to think it was due to the weather, especially when it rained, but when it started happening when it was bright and sunny out we started to question the modem. They've "fixed" it 5 times and we still have issues. We're debating going back to our old DSL provider (this new thing is supposedly faster than DSL, but not FiOs) just so we don't have to put up with this. With two of us that work both in office and at home, and a third who's starting community college in a week and will have online coursework, this just isn't working out. tl;dr, I'm in the same boat as you and feel your pain.
That's how I'm trying to look at it here. There were a few times I would look out the window and the trees that do line our property were swaying in the wind, and I'd think to myself "Don't you dare fall on the house." And there's still people here in town who haven't had their power turned back on yet. I really wish I had remembered to drag a camera downstairs so I could have snapped a pic of all our "rain barrels".
Okay, here's what went down. Not long after I posted my last message, the power went out. The power stayed out until roughly 4:30 this morning. In that timeframe (other than go utterly mad due to lack of light to do ANYTHING) the two sump pumps we had in the house failed, as they couldn't work without power. As a result, we had to constantly bail out one of them every hour before it flooded. We couldn't get to the other pump as it was in a crawlspace under the addition none of us could reach. We had no choice but to leave it alone and lay down towels to wick up floodwater. We formed a "bucket brigade", having my dad fill buckets of water for us to take upstairs and dump into the bathtub to drain. It would take us an hour to go down one inch, and it would fill up again in half the time. Meanwhile a puddle is spreading from the other side of the (did I mention finished and furnished?) basement. By 7 pm it was too dark to see safely, so to use a terrible expression we threw in the towel. That is, we covered the entire floor with towels, dirty linens, blankets...anything we could find. Then we took every large plastic container we could find and bailed into them. The plan was to do this, hope the power came back, and when it did slowly add the water back into the whole with the sump pump and have it fired back outside and away from the foundation. Didn't happen that way. We filled 5 large trash bins (like the ones in city parks), 4 tall kitchen trash bins, 2 coolers, and about a half dozen other buckets with water hoping to be able to work out our plan. Since we didn't get power until this morning, the basement flooded anyway. 95% of the floor is covered in water, including the closet under the stairs. Stepping on the carpet on the finished side got you water up to your ankles. On the unfinished side, the water reached all the way to the washer and dryer, and a good majority of stuff that was on the floor is now ruined unless we can find a way to salvage it. Nothing left to do now except ShopVac the basement of all the floodwater and see what can be saved.
