I was just telling my friend (Kregg) that they should sell clarifying toilet paper. Because (just like how once a year you’re supposed to use a clarifying shampoo to strip all the excess conditioner and shit out of your hair) there should be some kind of gritty toilet paper you use once a year to strip all your junk of all the lotions and chemicals in toilet paper and then Kregg was all “Yeah, I don’t think I’d use anything that would ‘strip my junk’ but maybe that’s something that would be appealing for you girls since you have to use toilet paper so much. I mean, I can’t even fathom how much you girls have to wipe because we men only have to wipe when we poop” and he said it in this condescending way like he was totally better than me just because he didn’t have to wipe as much and I was all “”Well just imagine what bears must think of you” and he was all “Um…what?” and I explained that it’s just a matter of perspective because if bears could talk they’d be all “Really? You wipe your butt every time you poop?! That’s fucked up.” And Kregg was all “Yeah…that is fucked up” but I’m not sure he was talking about the bears.
I also came up with another idea to re-purpose used breast-pumps to suck dead kittens inside out because then…TA DA!…fur-lined mittens for homeless people. I told Kregg about it and he was all “That’s…weird” and I’m all “It’s weird that no one’s ever thought of it before. Because no one wants dead kittens or used breast-pumps so this way we’d be keeping them both out of the landfills and helping the homeless. It’s practically carbon zero!” Then Kregg mentioned something about PETA and firebombs and I was all “I’d only use kittens that were already dead from non-communicable diseases, Kregg. I wouldn’t just go around haphazardly turning live kittens inside out. I’m not a monster, for God’s sake” and frankly I’m a little insulted I even had to clarify that. I’m doing this to help the homeless. Not for my own personal kitten-mitten collection. We live in Texas, y’all. I don’t even need mittens.
Comment of the day: I wouldn’t exactly call you the Thomas Edison because he invented lots of shit and you really only came up with one use for a dead cat. You’re more like a George Edward Alcorn of dead cats. ~ ShallowGal
hehe. I wonder what the folks at Boca burger would think if they knew their ad was next to this post. “Gee, maybe we should start selling meat patties. I bet she doesn’t have any use for the kitten insides. So young and tender.” But then you might have to massage the kittens like they do with Kobe beef to get them extra tender, and then they’d die, and it would be even more sad, and you’d cry and get their fur wet, and then so much for quality kitten mittens for the homeless.
Then you could do the same to adult sized cats for a matching hat! You’re brilliant, Jenny.

Rhea’s last blog post..I’m not really talking about Doors
Dead kitten-mittens would rock! I mean, we just moved to Massachusetts, which I still can’t spell right, and it’s frickin’ cold up here! Kitten-mittens would be so warm and snuggly! And then we could use the used breast pumps to make dead-puppy slippers to keep our feet warm too! Only I need something with some grip to keep from slipping on the ice. Maybe I could attach dead hedgehogs to the bottom of my dead puppies to act like cleats in the ice and snow. It’s just like recycling, which I think PETA would be happy with. Don’t listen to Kregg, cause like really, what the heck kinda name is that anyways. He’s obviously stunted due to not clarifying his junk.
Do you have to get the bones out before you invert the kittens or would the process take care of it for you?

This reminds me of a conversation some friends and I once had…. What would be the most horrible thing a person could do but possibly not be punishable?
Our conclusion: Create an addictive substance thats made of fermented dead kittens and puppies… the caveat? This substance cures cancer.
So, its horrible because its addictive and made from dead kittens and puppies BUT its also beneficial to society in that it cures cancer.

furiousBall’s last blog post..Frightened Rabbit @ Johnny Brenda’s Philadelphia 1/16/09
If there was any kitten… uh, flesh… left on the outside of the mittens then the homeless people could stand in front of their garbage can fires and just sort of slowly roast that kitten… meat (yeah, meat sounds better) and, voila, FOOD! Food for the homeless!!! You are gonna get a Nobel Peace Prize for this.
Lisa’s last blog post..Poor pitiful me!
I love you people. And the blogher ads are still up because I’m just as lazy as I suspected. I’m totally open to any nude shark hunting charter advertisers or dog ear blanket investers. At this point I’m kind of pinning it all on the kitten mittens which should support me fully once I find out where all the rich, cold hobos hang out.
SO just to be sure I’m picturing it correctly…your fingers would go into the legs and the tail? Because the legs would work and also have useful claws but the tail of a kitten would make a really skinny glove finger, you might have to cut all the hobos middle fingers off for this to work, but that would be cool because you could sell them to people who need help with their i phones so really it’s now like a triple win situation.

EdenSky: I think the head would be the middle finger part. The tail could be used to tie them together so you can keep them together when they’re not being used.
I will never understand why it’s acceptable for guys not to wipe (okay, “dab”) after they pee. Who the hell came up with that rule??? I feel like it maybe was invented during the Great Depression to save on toilet paper, and just never got reversed afterward because guys are lazy.

So, if dead kittens are fair game for the homeless, could we do circus camel lashes for the homesteaded?

It’s not like they use them for balancing little balls made out of coarse toilet paper or kittens or anything at the circus? You rock my world. You know that?

Delurking to say that you are my new best friend. I realize you don’t know me, but that’s just a small hiccup. Now I have to go find some of that clarifying paper because I think I just had an accident from laughing so hard.
So I was watching TV the other day and a commercial for Progressive Insurance came on. Every time I see one of their commercials I laugh my ass off, because the main chick, Flo, is exactly how I imagine you in real life. The current one for “resolution season” where she makes up her own song with the little horn makes me laugh especially hard.

The kitten mittens may keep their hands warm. But I’m pretty sure it would be hard for them to grab stuff with kitten guts on the outsides of their mittens. Too slippery.

I love the mitten idea though. My kitty is very soft and I have to make myself not squish her from being so cuddly . (The feline variety… not my personal “kitty.”) (Not that mine is bad mind you, just not as soft as the meowy one)
I have a kitten to donate. She’s not dead yet though.

I say you market this to people who already have everything because I bet they don’t have this. THEN, if you like, donate all the profits to the homeless.

Miss Ash’s last blog post..Dear Pressure
Are you crazy? You can’t use a breast pump to turn dead kittens inside out, they’re designed for liquids. First you’ll need to pump the kittens full of snake venom to liquify them, then suck out their insides.
No, first make sure they’re dead.
I can’t imagine anyone would have a problem with the kitten mitten idea. Oh wait, PETA might have something to say about it. But Al Gore would probably love the reuse-recycle-save the planet aspect of it, so I say it’s a wash.

Anyway, every few weeks a the airport grounds people (who usually just moved dirt from one side of the field to the other and back again) would show up with a gigantic vacuum and suck all the groundhogs right out of the ground.
The public line was that they were being relocated. Uh, yeah – relocated to the incinerator, I suspect. What a waste… I bet they would have made great hats!

Bastards.
I’m pretty sure I heard that the reason that cats aren’t turned in to fur coats (other than the fact that they’d have to lie about it to sell them in N. America) is that their fur falls out too easily – that you’d end up with kitty leather instead of kitty fur lined.
I hate to be the one to piss in the punch bowl but there is a serious flaw with the kitten mittens idea.
Technically speaking they would be kitten GLOVES. Boy kittens for regular five fingered homeless people and girl kittens for those homeless people who’ve lost a digit somewhere along the way.
I have a solution though. Use very young dead goats instead. Kid gloves! Even better I think!
Ian Peatey’s last blog post..Insults, nonviolence and fish
Well, first I want to point out that I’m not slow. I know this blog is like from January but I just discovered who you are and I’m following your blog backwards now.
I guess that kinda makes you the Benjamin Button of blogs.
Well, the actual reason I’m posting is to say WTF is with the “I only wipe my ass when I poop and am therefore superior behaviour”
My bf and I had the same discussion the other day ’cause he was all like “Women always finish the toilet paper cause they use it for everything” in like a tone that was “I’m way awesomer than you ’cause I don’t need to wipe”
Which got me thinking … If I were male I’d probably still wipe my junk before putting it back in my pants … I mean, how wrong would it feel not to?
Or maybe I just think like that cause I am used to wiping ’cause I’ve been doing it all my life, and you haven’t been wiping your whole life then wiping would feel totally unnatural.
Which made me think. Do people who have had ‘gender reassigning surgery’ feel odd about not wiping anymore? Are any of them secret wipers?
Curious.
Great blog btw
OMG I barely made it through the first paragraph, I was laughing so hard I couldn’t read! Note to person who wanted to turn puppies inside out for slippers, if you kick them hard enough you don’t have to turn them inside out! Oh someone stole your idea for junk wipes I think they call them ShamWows.
