@Tiamat114 Truth. I’ve started opening Christmas cards outside over the trash can just in case.

@Tiamat114 Are you sure you’re not being stalked by an exotic dancer?

@Tiamat114 I sent a glitter bomb to my HOA president one time. He bitched on the neighborhood Facebook page for months.

@TBoneZeOriginal that’s a beautifully petty way to deal with a crappy HOA. definitely writing that one down

@Tiamat114 When the world ends,there will only be cockroaches and glitter. Or glittering cockroaches.

@lemd This dude was later found to have been stealing money from the account and tried to burn the neighborhood down when he was finally booted. All because nobody wanted to run against him, so he won by default.

Worth every penny.

@Rowsdower And “kolache” is already plural, and an actual kolach does not contain any fecking sausage or orange dairy waste. </rant>

@Rowsdower @werehatrack
And tamale (tamal.) And ravioli (raviolo.)

@Rowsdower And here I was asking myself, “what are candela bras?”

@hockeybum They provide illuminating support!

@hockeybum @Rowsdower

@hockeybum @macromeh @Rowsdower That is funny, disturbing and oddly erotic at the same time.

@hockeybum @macromeh @Rowsdower @Trinityscrew it could be all three!

@SandyFlea Nope, you just get two

@tweezak Only if you contribute some.

@werehatrack Almighty God! --no, no! They heard! --they suspected! --they knew! --they were making a mockery of my horror!-this I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! and now --again! --hark! louder! louder! louder! louder!

“Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here, here! --It is the beating of his hideous heart!”

@heartny
Oh wow, it’s a sign!

@heartny 6666 isn’t a spooky number. The first and last 3/4 of those digits are, but then would we say 1,666 is a spooky number? Or 666,000? Or 2,066,600?

@gageaa75 @heartny

6666 isn’t a spooky number.

Neither is any other one, if you don’t buy into the superstition driving the belief that it is. Around here, there are so many folks self-terrorized by 666 that TXDOT had to replace those mile markers on I-10 with plain reflectorized posts; people kept destroying them otherwise. (A different state with the same issue on another route solved it by moving the posts 53 feet and renumbering them 665.99.) Decades ago, there used to be a Route 666 running from Gallup, NM to Monticello, UT. But starting in the late '60s, the signs got vandalized so much and so often that eventually they renumbered it to 491 instead.

@Vinito it probably will be but you’ll have to wait in line outside the store for an hour before it opens

@Vinito I picked one up for $5 in the impulse dollar section at the front of Target a couple of days ago. I’ll have to find it, measure it, & post the dimensions.

@mrbillmc Check whether it’s battery-operated or wall-socket-powered, too.

@Vinito Just bought something quite similar from Target 5 days ago for, I’m pretty sure, $3

@rpstrong The photo of the front of the box has an image that looks closer to the stated numbers.

@werehatrack Marginally, but don’t forget that the box is rotated 20 or so degrees, throwing the perspective off.

@rpstrong our photographer measured them and they are correct

@rpstrong That would tend to make the real measurement even closer to the stated one. The unboxed photos look like they may have been squeezed a bit horizontally, perhaps by web image processing software that automagically does that kind of stuff, undemanded.

@werehatrack What doesn’t add up is the length of the candle/light (6.75") as compared to the height of the complete candlumdrum (16"). An on-screen measurement would indicate that either the total height would be closer to 14", or that the candle length is understated. I’m guessing it’s the latter.

@rpstrong Possibly ignoring the bulb?

@werehatrack No, the bulbless length was given as 5.5".

@rpstrong Eh, on-screen here is 38mm x 73mm for the assembly overall, not far off of the stated ratio.

@werehatrack I ignored the overall dimensions for the reason you mentioned - the images could be squeezed or stretched. However, that would not affect the vertical dimensions.
