Things I said at the stampin and scrappin fest on Friday night

Responding to a comment on Anna Nicole Smith’s untimely death:

“She may have only been 39, but hon, she was a high-mileage vehicle.”

***

After struggling to get a particular stamp to ink evenly and stamp a complete image:

“This is the third time the cat’s ass has not come out. I think this is just a March of Dime’s stamp!”

***

Javacurls asked about my quest for black pants, which led to a discussion of pants pockets:

Me: “When I wear pants with rear pockets that have flaps, my butt looks like a piece of luggage.”

Javacurls (who is very slender and petite) says, “I NEED those pockets on the back of my pants!”

Me: “You know what we need to solve our pants problems: a FLAP transplant!”

Hmmm, or maybe a fat transplant. I'll graciously offer myself as a donor. ; )

i of all people should not have laughed at #2, but I howled. You are so dang funny. I am sure that java is a very nice gal, but those who complain that their but is too small...should be shot. On site. OK..with a very nasty look ...or a mouthful of stale coffee. You pick.

See! Even on a <i>stamp</i>, cats are just not cooperative!

...hmmm...so "escaped" means "ignored" in computerspeak?

V, you had me rolling on Friday night! You are just too funny!! Totally enjoyed my evening with you! And thanks for not kicking me out of the event when I said I NEEDED flap pocket. ;)

Ha! #2 - the guy at Starbucks was trying to make me a latte this weekend but the cup was leaking. He finally gave up on it and said, "Stupid Short-Bus cup." But I like yours better.

A flap transplant. Love it!

I have a couple of cargo pants with those flaps held by velcro. I always forget to secure them when I put my wallet nack so my flaps are always waving goodbye when I walk out..I/O

Then there's the opposite extreme - the pants with no back pockets. Those should be banned as a fashion travesty. Who can wear them?

I want to make pants that look like a cat's ass...I can dream.

[V-Grrrl]

Teebs,

Pants with no back pockets are my favorite kind!

The part about the cat's ass just cracked me up. So...did it ever come out?

[V-Grrrl]

Wordgirl,

Too much ink, not enough ink--it was making me nuts. I got the whole image to stamp, but it still seemed thin in spots so I worked on it with colored pencils to layer a bit of color and dimension in.

She WAS a high-mileage vehicle. Brilliant!
