Interesting to reflect on our own slithy language development, which uses three different letters to render the start of Crafty, Kiwi, and Quordlepleen which all become basket cases on the Nile!

I like dodyskin's bubblewrap link above. That seems to be the most worthless of the bunch because it truly reflects how we get caught up in worthless occupations sometimes--just zone out--and bubblewrap is a real culprit. The package comes, you open up the box, and remove the bubble wrap from around the item of some value (perhaps or not), but it's the bubblewrap that you can't resist and fortunately no one's in the house with you as you begin to pop it with your fingers and take off your shoes and pop it under your soles and find yourself counting how many bubbles you have left to pop and are very disappointed when it's all over although relieved, too, because you're late picking up your friend...

But with the bubblewrap link dody provided, well, heh! Forget the friend! You get to pop bubbles--and they keep coming back.

Had some china delivered the other day wrapped in very tempting, taut, giant bubbles. Much to my dismay, they were all interconnected so that when you tried to pop a bubble, the air simply shifted into adjoining ones. Talk about spoilsport!

Sounds like a real challenge. Pop them all at once.

While some of the other T shirts for sale at this web site are sure to offend, this one is clean and should appeal to all here: http://www.extraugly.com/shirts/iity.html
