Permanent Slugs


You know that 'permanent marker' thing on the side of a Sharpie? They're serious about that. And when your child decides to use one to paint a rock on your kitchen floor and it sinks into the linoleum, it's there permanently.

Supreme Leader's mat leave is almost done. I can tell she's looking forward to going back by the way she walks around the house muttering, "I hate my f@*king job."



"Baby baby baby, ohhh!" When we went grocery shopping on the weekend the audio section was playing a Justin Beiber concert video. That effing song lodged itself in my brain like some kind of heinous zombie cancer that made me want to drop to the floor and beat my head against it. "Hey look, toilet paper's on sale this week. Baby baby baby, ohh!" GAH! *thump thump*

Liam picked up a slug in the back yard yesterday and got slimed. It took over five minutes of vigorous scrubbing with a cloth to get that Ghostbusters ectoplasm guck off his hand. Don't play with slugs. Just sayin.

  1. If you give your son (I bet Liam) a selection of markers....can he redo your floor into that river rock look? Cheaper than laying more tile or actually putting the rocks there.

  4. Ahh yes, VERY permanent. My kid got ahold of one and drew all over his legs. What a mess. Happy Tuesday.

  5. As for the Sharpies, I'm usually on the other end of the spectrum... the ink seems to wipe off of everything I use them on. Maybe it's the type of surface?

    And the slugs... ewwwww!

  6. Vodka Mom made me snort...out loud.

    And just WHAT were you saying with that first picture?

  7. I foresee the biggest problem of your sharpie rock is actually stepping over it every time you come across it. You know you will. :-)

  8. Excellent randomness today. I especially liked the F-Stop Ridge and the door sign.

    I'd rather not think about permanent markers and slugs, either together or separately.

  9. I have banned Sharpies. They don't stay on the stuff I need them to, and they do stay exactly where I don't want them. Bah.

    Those are some crazy Canadian photographers.

  10. Jen! LOL!!! I can so see him doing that too!!

    And as far as SL goes, she needs a raise!

  11. Oh God permanent marker. I don't know why we even dare to hace them around.

  12. The only way I was able to remove the Sharpie Artwork from Princess Nagger was with a Mr. Clean Eraser - not sure what chemicals are in that thing, but it sure did the trick. ;)

    That David Hasselhoff/Norton video was hysterical and disturbing all at the same time. The camera video? Genius!

    And ewwwww! Slugs are so ugly - and slimy.

    Thanks for being a rebel with me today! :)

    Chicken Salad, Marathon Dog, and I'm a Winner - or is that Wine-r?

  14. I have been known to attack the occasional gray hair with a Sharpie. It washes right out. Wish my hair was made out of linoleum.

    LOVE that camera commercial!

    ReplyDelete
  15. that Camera video is my fave, where do you find stuff like that!?
    And the 'Flash-Grenade', awesome idea!

    Oh, and The Hoff has got a funny accent in German... :D

  16. I have my cameras ready, it's lock and load time!

  17. My kids had their run-ins with permanent markers. My youngest also liked to paint my white walls with my dark brown lipstick. That is also permanent.

    Justin Beiber makes me want to stab my eardrum with a red-hot ice pick dipped in battery acid.

    Slugs are so gross.

    Happy RTT!

  18. Glad to know I'm not the only one singing in the grocery store.

    And permanent marker... yeah. Been there, replacing that.

    :)

  19. Slugs...ewww.
    The Hoff! Haha! When I was in the hospital after Han Solo was born, I watched a lot of German TV (it's funny how you can tell what going on in a show-Big Bang Theory, The Simpsons, etc even if they're in German) and I swear almost every commercial break (they tell you when the commercials start and end, I guess so you don't get it confused with the show?) there was a commercial for The Hoff's new (neu!) album. Weird. Germans really do love him. I don't get it. Meh.

  20. Slugs slime? Why didn't anyone tell me?!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Have you tried lighter fluid on the sharpie stain? I have heard of it working.
    Or rubbing alcohol - that's my go-to for everything. A little rubbing alcohol and a new, fresh greenie (scrubber) and I am usually pretty happy.

    Did you actually see that push it sign?? LOVE it!!!

    Is there anything the Hof can't do??? He is awesome!!!

  22. Slugs? Ewwwwwwwwe! Almost as bad as snakes. Hate 'em.

    Your randomness was very interesting, especially the commercials. I laughed at the sign. How creative!

    I think you should let the kids go wild and see what they can create on your kitchen floor. What the heck, you've already got the rock!

  23. I guess y'all slug it out over who gets to clean up the messes...

    ReplyDelete
  24. There's got to be some way for that slug slime to erase Sharpie ink.....

  25. Think of it this way, a Sharpie rock on the floor is better than a Sharpie rock on...his own face. I know a kid who ended up with that Mike Tyson thing.

  26. Hello there!

    I tagged you in a game & would like to invite you to be part of it at my post Staffetta dell'amicizia!

    I know you once told me that you ain't much into doing these, so I only included you as a mention... ;)

    Whatever your choice, thank you in advance & have a great Weekend.

  27. Haha, so I'm not the only one who mutters that around the house? Classic.

  28. You have an audio section in your grocery store?

    When you said "picked up a slug", I was thinking ammo. Glad the kid hasn't graduated to live ammo....

  29. About the slugs? I totally know! We get them on damp summer evenings and if you go out onto the front porch to let the cat out you might accidentally step on one. That's some screaming that you can hear for miles! That stuff just won't come off! Shouldn't we be using this in warfare?

  30. That sign in the beginning is hilarious. I can't tell you how many times I have had trouble with doors. I push, I pull, nothing. Signs like that would help. Not looking forward to returning from mat leave myself. And I haven't even had the damn baby yet :(

Come on, sailor. I love you long time.
