Re: Fish Eyes again



I love that. Those 6-inch spike heels, seductive decolletage, and the AK47 (hunting slow-moving moose, perhaps??) all sound kinda familiar. You weren't thinking about anybody in particular with that description, were you?? :)

I do think it's odd that they hide it under the counter, though-- commenting on Katherine's experience. I think they essentially hide it here, too-- though on the shelf, but not in a location you can easily locate-- making you have to roam around and roam around looking for it, forcing you to finally ask if they have it and, if so, where it is-- which I've never understood. Have to agree, too, that I never saw it make a difference, either in coating or in anything else it was supposed to do. I do love the smell, though. It reminds me of the ancient dentist I used to go to, growing up. I always thought that smell was something medicinal in his office. It wasn't until I was in my early 20's that I realized that smell was a certain kind of liquor (Everclear?), and he was just a nice, ancient, sort of competent-- but alcoholic-- dentist. What a surprise. No wonder, as an adult, I've kept my dentist living in grand style through the years. A sober dentist can do wonders. :)

Not to mention that permitting the real or imagined (attitude? sneer?) to intimidate intensifies their power. They'll know if you're embarrassed, confirming that you SHOULD be embarrassed and/or that women are wimps.(Or the joy of sadism.) These are guys SELLNG THE STUFF, for heaven's sake. (They probably flunked 8th grade.)

Suggestion: Walk in wearing your pointiest-toed 6-inch spike heels, most seductive decolletage, with your AK47 slung over one shoulder and ammo belt hung low. Tell them you need some Everclear in a hurry because the posse is waiting, but you'll be back for something more suitable in time for the after party.
