JoeCrow: But you are admitting to occasional lagomorphic behaviour, though?
ita: No, not at all. I wear pink more often than I am a rabbit. That's all.

If I only had a brain...
I can't BELIEVE I'm the first one with this.
KristinT:
1. I can make my own gift baskets with doodads and pretties! It's fun!
2. Shrink wrap can be almost as addictive as bubble wrap, especially since it requires tools to use.
3. Shrink wrap by the roll, however, is not quite wide enough to gather at the top.
4. It really bugs me when I can't gather shrink wrap at the top.
5. Shrink wrap specifically made for baskets is great and really fits!
6. ...however, it also tends to tear open at the seams.
7. Trying to "patch" a shrink wrap gap with another piece of shrink wrap seems like a brilliant idea, but isn't.
8. No matter how long you hover a hairdryer over those two seperate edges, the shrink wrap will not melt together; instead, it will shrink like a penis in a pool, leaving two jagged plastic edges that flap away from the side of the basket, tauntingly.
9. One cannot melt the shrink wrap onto the basket, either.
10. Screaming, "SHRINK TOGETHER, YOU BASTARD!" does not, in fact, help.
11. Michael's Crafts is open until 10PM during the holiday season.
12. It may be best for perfectionists to stay away from shrink wrap unless they've taken their meds.
And to all a good night.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
instead, it will shrink like a penis in a pool, leaving two jagged edges that flap away from the edges of the basket tauntingly.
I am never going into a pool again.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

For those in the know, from Lilty in Firefly:
I've now watched about 10 seconds of 'Trash'. I'd like to report that it is a very good episode indeed.
