milk teeth

― marcos, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 21:41 (eleven years ago)

it was the tooth that first snagged my attention

Defo milk teeth.

This poll makes me feel invariably sad :(

between the teeth and the goofy beer fund, two of the life's key needs

every cluttered mantelpiece should have an unnoticed red Buddha

it was the first thing I noticed tbh

btw, don't discount needle & small loop of thread in this poll--seems like the lurker's weapon of choice

i liked the milk tooth and the needle and cotton loop and also the familiarity of nv's system for storing small articles.

what is a hair toggle?

― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Thursday, 18 December 2014 02:54 (eleven years ago)

trying to decide whether it outranks the torn-off piece of lightbulb box but i want to make an informed decision

― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Thursday, 18 December 2014 02:55 (eleven years ago)

little elastic band for holding long hair/pony tails in place

― A cat having an apron (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 18 December 2014 07:18 (eleven years ago)

i think there's a more proper word but i can't remember it right now

― A cat having an apron (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 18 December 2014 07:19 (eleven years ago)

okay those really pale in comparison to the torn-off piece of lightbulb box. i am sorry but that's just how i feel.

― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Thursday, 18 December 2014 07:25 (eleven years ago)

they are not intrinsically interesting but i wanted full disclosure

― A cat having an apron (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 18 December 2014 07:26 (eleven years ago)

they rate higher than some of the other overrated items

― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Thursday, 18 December 2014 07:29 (eleven years ago)

i've just noticed a pink disposable lighter behind one of the photos, maybe need to re-poll

― A cat having an apron (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 18 December 2014 07:32 (eleven years ago)

never seen a bunch of hair toggles that haven't had one or two stray hairs attached - definitely adds value imo

― Ottbot jr (NickB), Thursday, 18 December 2014 07:45 (eleven years ago)

also no random dead fly, no credibility

i had a suspicion this was going to turn out to be some guessy paternal terminology.
