I just spent the last hour combing "fart putty" out of a five-year-old's hair.

Who on earth ever fathomed they'd type that sentence one day?

[JBoy]

1. Awesome term. Crappy reality.

[Fenris]

2. I don't want to know what that is.

[eyesroll]

11. It is exactly what it sounds like.

:scared:

3. you have my sympathy, my daughter got that all stuck in my carpet when she younger

i ended having to cut out a bunch of the fibers because it dried. Fart Putty is from the devil!

[eyesroll]

4. About a third of a bottle of hair conditioner and a fine-toothed comb.

Surprisingly, we didn't have to cut any of it out; there was some complaining and some "OW!" and one elbow to my ribs (and a much-protested shower afterward) but it actually came out OK.

My hands reek of Suave lavender. I don't even know why we have that stuff--I'm glad we do, but it's unpleasant.

[AlCzervik]

5. all of that stuff is just such a disaster and it loses it's novelty in about 30 minutes.

[eyesroll]

7. It was a party favor.

It was good for about a third of the car ride home, though...

[AlCzervik]

8. lol.

[hornblast]

10. Good until out of frustration, I told her...

See, kiddo wouldn't keep the shit in the cup. She as playing with it and had it on her hands and everywhere except in the cup it came in. so out of frustration I said, "Why don't you put it on your head?"


She dd.


I've never so regretted a child following my suggestion.


That said, MAD PROPS to eyesroll for getting it all out!! :headbang: :yourock: :loveya:


Sitting in the bathroom, eyesroll combing the pink goo out of her hair between applications of conditioner, old Johnny Cash films playing via YouTube on my laptop... an incredible bonding experience that I'd rather not repeat ever again!

6. Look at it this way:

You're gonna be a stah in the next "post from your cache" thread. :D

9. Fart putty + a voice changer from the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser...

You can make ROBOT FARTS!!!! Isn't that just the coolest thing???!!!

:eyes:

I have to confess that I keep fart putty in my desk drawer at work. If things get a bit too "intense" and people are getting cranky with each other I take it out and play with it. It pisses off the secretaries to no end, but it also makes them laugh.

It might be juvenile, lowbrow, and pure D evil when it is stuck in your kid's hair, but it IS funny.

12. As Edith Bunker would say, "Ohhhhhh! Ohhhhhhh"

I just got it. Just figured out what you folks were talking about. Yeah, it is funny.
