    'Tis the season to be gliterry once again: Christmas Glitter, aka Those Damn Christmas Picks, are in. Typically we reserve those for the newbies, but since we don't have any guess who helped put them out?

    It was so bad that not only did I find glitter on my toes, I took a VERY long shower.
    Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

    Oh, the Eric fairy conducted a visitation?

    Nah, couldn't have... the glitter'd be under your toenails.

      I dread taking out the Xmas ornaments. I also dread looking for new ones, because that blasted glitter seems to be on all of them now. If they didn't start with glitter, they acquire it via guilt by association.

      And it doesn't matter if you corral the ornaments and picks to one small section of the store. Somehow it will wind up in the meat and produce.

      I also firmly believe the stuff breeds, because I have one small, tiny canister of glitter go splodey in the house and it seems to be everywhere for the next 10 years. Someone could make a fortune creating a "Glitter-b-gone" cleaner, because vacuuming, sweeping, dusting using a wet rag, none of of it works. The closest thing I've found is the lint roller or a glue trap for flies.
      If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

        Even though it's very inaccurate I seriously wanted to change that to "gilt by association."

          Christmas shit has been flowing in hot and heavy for the past several weeks, and it's being set now. There will be glitter a-plenty when we stock the stuff either at the end of this week or the beginning of next.

          I got an impressive orange glitterbomb for my birthday when unpacking Halloween stuff Monday.

            Shouldn't it have come in in July, Irv?

              Strangely, it only started to come in right after I got back from vacation.

                That's the punishment you get, from your higher ups for taking a vacation.

                If I hear Christmas music anytime soon, I'll have to run over a lot of people in GTA V to ease the pain.

                    Ahh glitter, the herpes of the arts n crafts world. Once you've been glittered, it never goes away, or so it seems.

                    Reminds me of a horrible horrible prank. Perhaps I'm evil, and have too many toys. I'll have to repeat this prank and get it on video sometime. One of the many tool/toys I have is a CO2 pneumatic system(uses CO2 to power air tools rather than a compressor). Coupling that with a texture sprayer makes for a portable glitter cannon.

                      Let's be honest here-- you're going to be running over a lot of people in GTA V regardless.

                        Our Christmas stuff was late this year, usually the paintable Christmas stuff (ornaments, wood shapes, etc) are in around July 4th. Didn't get it in until closer to the end of July/beginning of August.

                        Surprisingly Random Craft Store is still getting Halloween stuff in, usually that starts becoming clearance right about now.

                          Well, of course I will, I'll just have to run over even more whe I start hearing Christmas music in stores.

                            Oh fuck!

                            I was just in Sams club, getting things for work, when Christmas music came on!!!

                            GTA V doesn't come out till next week. I'm going to have to go on a tank rampage in GTA San Andreas to get over this.
