What I Miss Most About Old Timey Thermometers…

… is getting to pretend that I am a narwhal while using it.

Thank God we still have pencils, Tootsie Pops, and straws.

On a less tangential note, I will bust my ass tomorrow writing the winning story for that night. Voting ends whenever I get up in the morning and start to count. Although, let’s be honest, no amount of words I can ever produce will replace the empitness that lives inside each of us that we were born without some kind of awesome horn protruding from our foreheads to spear fish.

  • It is a tooth not a horn. A big buck tooth. Give it some thick glasses and a pocket protector it’ll be the Nerd of the Whale world.

    Follow link to the best narwhal shirt ever. I don’t understand it, but it made me laugh for a solid 3 minutes.

    Were you exceptionally large when you were born? I was wondering why your clavicle broke.

    (My husband was 10 lbs and 1 ounce when he was born, and his mom died during childbirth.)

  • @Eric

    I don’t care what it is, but I choose to call it a Nar.

    @Jessica

    I so want one of those.

    @Melanie

    11 lbs. 3 oz.

    I cant get my arms up high enough to comb my hair but my biceps won’t go more than a couple of degrees over my shoulders unless forced by something else.

    Odd creatures, Narwhals. I always wondered how – after they’ve skewered something to eat – how the get it off the horn / tooth / long sharp thingy to eat what they’ve skewered?

  • @60613

    I don’t know how they eat whatever they harpoon (or if they really harpoon anything) all I know is that I want a giant Nar sticking out of my mouth or head. How sweet would that be?

  • Jessica

    I’ll send you one. The only catch is, I need a picture of you wearing it while frowning with a fake narwhal tusk in your mouth. It’ll tie together the disapproval nicely.
