If the prisoner has an enormous penis, he is hung.
However, as far as the criminal justice system is concerned, he is hanged.
The only prescription I have is Vitamin D, which I can buy OTC, just has a smaller dropper.
If I see MMM and song, I think MMM Bop. Never was a fan, but it’s stuck in my brain.
Besides the typical environmental allergies (grass, smoke, dust, animal dander), I react to lanolin (which is also from an animal) and shea butter. Makes finding lotion difficult.
I also get a reaction from black escalator handrails and other black rubber objects. At least in winter I can wear gloves to protect my hands from black escalator handrails. Possibly related, I have to be careful about which bandages I use as some cause red welts.
I’m allergic to poison ivy and get huge welts from mosquito bites.
Certain fragrances irritate my eyes, but I don’t know which ones.
Mel Brooks has you covered. They said you was hung!
I embarrassed the heck out of my daughter when she swam for the local kid’s team. Our pool was hosting a big event, and I volunteered to weed-whack the area around the site. I looked it over ahead of time and saw a ton of poison ivy.
The day parents came to help ready the pool area, I wore a long sleeve shirt, long pants, gloves, boots, and a visor/faceshield. It was 90 degrees. The other two dads who did weed-wacking wore swim trunks and flipflops.
I ended up with a few lesions on my wrists. The other two dads were a mess; one was hospitalized, the other missed a week of work.
The plural of “house” is and should be “houses”. It probably was “hice” at one point (or the Danish/Saxon equivalent), but that just sounds silly.
That being said: the plural of “moose” should be “meese.” That is a hill I am willing to die on.
Yikes!
I’m not surprised they were a mess. They weed-wacked poison ivy almost naked even after you told them it was poison ivy? That is, um, not using one’s brain.
I never mentioned I thought it was poison ivy. I arrived and went to work. They arrived a little later and joined me. We were all adults.
That’s pretty nasty.
I thought it was rash.
mmm
Wasn’t meant to be. When they showed up I actually felt stupid. I figured they’d done this previous years and my plant ID was wrong. If I 100% was secure in identifying poison ivy, I would have said something.
Ah.
I can tell you from experience with farm interns that not only do some people not know that poison ivy exists, some people – including some intelligent people – don’t know that poisonous plants exist; let alone that plants exist that can do you harm if you only touch them, and don’t eat them, and even if what you touch isn’t the living plant but minute bits spread around by a weedwhacker, or smoke in the air.
Leaves of three, leave it be: unless it’s got a thorny or an entirely woody stem. There may be a few viny type things with three leaves that aren’t severe allergens, but better safe than sorry. And the shape of the leaves can be somewhat variable, as is the degree of sheen and the appearance of the vine.
– the other tricky thing about poison ivy is that some people aren’t allergic to it: until suddenly they are. Apparently repeated exposure can bring the allergy on. I used to be able to wade through the stuff unaffected as a child; but I did too much of that and developed the allergy, though I still don’t seem to get as affected as some other people by the same degree of exposure.
A farmer I knew used to eat some poison ivy each year on a bread and butter sandwich, which he said made him immune! (Plot twist: he was insane)
Yeah, I’ve run into that one. Three new leaves, very early in the season when they first become visible, eaten every year: supposed to make you immune. I knew somebody who said he did this. He wasn’t otherwise insane in any way I could tell.
I wouldn’t try it. If it goes wrong, it’ll go horribly wrong. You can indeed get poison ivy rash inside you, and yes that’s likely to land you in the hospital, and in a very unhappy state indeed.
I suspect that as some people have far more allergic reaction to poison ivy than others, there are some people at the very bottom of the range who aren’t allergic and who never acquire the allergy, and that those are the people that this appears to work for. For those particular people, there weren’t any elephants out there anyway.
I once took a hike through an unfamiliar area. I got a little lost and ended up hiking cross country through some brush which unbeknownst to me at the time had poison oak growing there. After a long and difficult slog, I made it home, very tired. I decided to relax with a long soak in the hot tub, before showering. The result was the urushiol on my skin spread through the hot tub water and got ALL OVER me, including places that you’d normally never directly expose to the plant. I had a pretty miserable week or two after that.
I have very sensitive skin so I can’t wear most metals, with the exception, for some reason, of 18K gold. Even a leather watch band will cause me to break out.
I have to use fragrance free soap and laundry detergent.
A few years ago I kept breaking out in hives, including one really nasty outbreak during my first trimester of pregnancy, and I couldn’t figure out what the hell I was allergic to. It turned out to be my red bedsheets. I had already been using a purple set and I ordered a red set in the exact same brand, but for whatever fucking reason it was the red bed sheets that did me in.
I am also allergic to the sun. I often wear protective gear - long sleeved shirts, big hats in summer.
The only really good thing about my skin is that since it’s rarely touched by the sun, it shows very little signs of aging, and I’m guessing my risk of skin cancer is pretty low.
Not meese, moosen. A flock of moosen.
In the words of Carrot Top, “I don’t tan. I flambé,”
Do you mean Møøsen? As it happens, a Møøse once bit my sister… No realli!
Well… THAT’S what you get when you carve your initials into it with an electric toothbrush.
The word was originally “hus”- so not “hic”,
And Mouse should be mouses. Goose should be gooses.
We have gotten rid of a number of these silly-ass things- beeves, niblings, dagen (days) and we are working on mice.
There’s no reason to keep most of these. Sure man/men and a few others are baked in, but how often do we really need to pluralize “goose”?
BTW- it is octopuses. Octopi is wrong on several levels.
