Or perhaps, Whacky, he just got tired of being asked about it all the time, and purposely turned it off?

"Quirky" is one word for it, Troosha.
Though I've heard many other terms as well.

Ophelia - I think "chewable" was an example of Mademoiselle's quirky
sense of humour.... n'est pas?

..unrelated to anything else... I'm on Prozac, I didn't know you could get chewable ones. I wonder if we can get them in the UK. Must ask Dr. Thank you!

Yeah, Troosha, there is no way I'm sticking my finger in a complete stranger's ear hole ...
or any other orifice, for that matter.

I'm one of those people that actually reaches over to flick a piece of fluff off someone or who motions to them that they have half their lunch on their face. Not sure that I would rech over to remove the green goo though.

If only I'd thought of that when I wrote the headline, Corbin ...
Of course, people would have probably just assumed it was a "typo".

That's an interesting story, riri ...
I've often wondered if listerine might help my cat with his halitosis ... because his breath is terrible!
Although I'm not sure how I could go about getting him to gargle.

Well then, he could have at least said so, Tattered Knight.

Don't mention earwigs, strat.
I once had a really bad experience with one of them.
On a semi-related note, I'm considering getting a pet banana slug.

P.S. So that's where the color green comes from! I had always wondered about that.

Green hearing aids, green frogs, green.... don't know
years ago when we were unofficially doing cat rescue-- meaning all the strays in our neighborhood we befriended and what not-- well one was preggers and I kept her. Jaden did not like other kitties at all!!! My vet prescribed me the liquid prozac to rub on her ears to see if that helped. ( It did not but finding her a home where she was the only kitty and her kittens as well did) . I still recall going into the pharmacy and them calling my name out and then saying over the loudspeaker-- wait is this for a CAT!!!!!!

It was most likely a small cabbage. It's a cult. I joined once, but was thrown out for not eating my sprouts.

It was probably something harmless, you know,
like an earwig, or something. For all you knew, it had big water dish at home with a name like "Sluggo" or something on it.
Still, one would think people who pamper pets would want to show them off, assuming that thing was a pet. Or not.

except that it wasn't blue. And I always just assumed those things went inside one's mouth.

Some people have the habit of storing coins temporarily in the ear cavity. Like placing a pencil behind the ear. I never had the knack of balancing the pencil. And the coin thing - no thank you.

Were you really getting Prozac?
Gosh, why do you always give out TMI?
At any rate, you were so rude! See, this one time I saw a girl in the supermarket, totally unaware of her fresh period stain (a HUGE spot) on the butt part of her pants. Of course I didn't want to be rude, so I simply let her be.
