too soon?

I've been on blogging hiatus for months yet all I can think about writing about is the fact that I may have a fungus on my fingernail. A chunk has been sent off to a lab in Maryland.

Might the future of my blogging be linked to the results of that lab test?

Stay tuned! Same hard and crusty time; same yellow and blotchy channel.

Wow - that was just waaaaay too much information. Hard and crusty, yellow and blotchy?

How'd the panda end up doing by the way?

I'm sensing a theme sparklestone. As we get older, are we going to end up having nothing to talk about besides our ailments? Oh god help us now.

Hey, are they gonna use your toe in the next fungus commercial where that little yellow dude pulls up the toenail, jumps under and starts digging?

I'd love to be able to point and say, "Hey, I know that guy."

I used to think the guy that walked up and down the shore in Harrision with a long poking stick and machete that had to pick up dead rotting salmon and cut them in half (I don't know why he was doing this, or even if it was an actual job, or just how he liked to spend weekends) had the worst job in the world.

Now I realize that it's the little yellow dude that digs out the cheese from under Sparky's fungal nails that has the worst job in the world.

Whoa! Slow down there cowboys. Let's not paint our wagons before they're dry. May be fungus. Might. Could. Perhaps. Possibly. We got a team full of people workin' round the clock in that land named after Henrietta Maria to answer just that question.

So, don't turn your spigots before they're oiled.

I'm curious, since you were recently unemployed Capt, do you think that little yellow dude's job would be better than no job at all?

P.S. I like cheese.

Sylow - yes, that would be worse than no job at all. At least when one is unemployed, one does not have to move from the couch, which of course involves neither digging nor any funk from Sparky's nails.

Sparky - if it ain't fungus, you need to seriously review your personal hygene procedures, not only for your sake, but also for Miss Kate's.

ps. I wonder how long this can go on before the lovely Miss Kate makes some sort of "You boys are gross, grow up and stop being nasty" type comment...

Well, Cap't, (and you other Boys), I'm not surprised to see that it took you all about 0.06 seconds to pick up exactly where you left off.

It's a good thing I'm fasting tonite... or else you might make me fwow up.

(I missed you guys!)

Wait a minute, is this why you have hair growing directly out of your toenails?

Always wondered about that.

Hmmmm Sparky, you seem to have numerous fingernail "issues" - you were biting them for a while, now you are concerned about yellow crusty stuff on your fingernail.

You haven't been eating Cheetos, have you? If so wash your hands and reexamine that nail.

Also, what is your key to having no word verification, yet no spam either?

Perhaps spammers are afraid of yellow crusty stuff?

You've been eating cheetos with your feet? Miss Kate know about that?


Oh, and Happy Anniversary!

you and your nails. (Thorn and Thistle readers, please note, I once stopped Sparkle from mailing a toenail to a girl...)

ARgh. This is SO gross I didn't even read the comments. You know what face I am making.

And the Lord spake unto the Americans and said "A great plague shall come upon thy people, and thou shalt know it is from me as thy fingernails shall drip putrid yellow crusties and thou shalt needs have them sent unto a laboratory in the Kingdom of Maryland to have them examined. This plague shall be upon thy people until thou drinkest the Rye of the people of the north, that thou callest the Canadians, as they are the chosen people. Thou may thinkest that this is a curse, but thou shalt realize the glory of the Rye and thou shalt drinkest it and rejoice, for the Rye of the Canadians is the drink of heaven, and it shall be drunk on the rocks or verily with some coke." And the Americans knew that it was true for did the putrid yellow crusties not drip from the fingernails of the insolent? And were the scrapings of the gunk not sent to the laboratories in the Kingdom of Maryland? And did he who is known as Captain Underpants not have far too much time with far too little to do?

Sparky, I'm not surprised you have yellow crud, after all, you are a fun guy.

Talk about personalized spam...

Happy Halloween to you and MIss Kate!

has the crusty yellow funk been sufficiently analyzed yet? Do we have a definitive answer as to what, exactly, is growing under Sparkle's fingernails? Is the little yellow dude going to be out of work?

6:27 PM  
Blogger Sylow_P said...

Yeah, I want an update on the fingernail situation. Are we still oozing, or has it crusted over?

2:14 PM  
Blogger Scott said...

Okay - at this point I think its safe to assume that Sparky has officially abandoned us, the internet.

Either that or his rather tragic fingernail funk finally got the best of him.
