You know what would be awesome?! A pool made of play-doh.
You could reshape the sides and form a slide or a ramp, or pretty much ANYTHING. You could make it bigger and shallower, or smaller and deeper, then when you wanted to drain it, you could just poke a hole in it. Easy-peasy. When you needed to store it, you would just roll it into a ball and squash it into a container or stick it to the wall of your garage. If people laughed at your pool, you could tear off a piece and chuck it at them; you can bet they wouldn't mess with you twice!

I'm sorry. It's raining outside and I'm all wound up.

:crazy:

5. What is Moon-walk?! Is it like Moon Sand?!
Because that would be pretty much the best idea EVER!

10. Ohhhh!
I wonder if that would be comparable to the cost of laminate flooring?

Hmmm...

12. Maybe comparable, but your electric bill would be through the roof
But oh, so much fun.

11. Yeah...I don't know what this Bounce House thing is...
I tried to get a Moon Walk for LittleCoffee's birthday and people kept talking about Bounce Houses and I had no idea what the hell they were talking about and then I figured it out.

7. I can't either!
I tried to mow the lawn but I couldn't get the mower to start, so I pretty decided to piss the rest of the day away. It seems the logical response.

8. We'd just make the pool out of yellow playdoh.
It's already salty, anyway. Who'd even have to know?

9. YES!
I think they put vanilla in it. I'm not sure if they've always done that, but I noticed it some time ago. I licked it to see if it still tastes the same as I remembered. It does. It's not good.

16. It would be too slimey.
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 02:32 PM by BarenakedLady
And the water would be cloudy. But if you left it out in the sun it would become indestructable...well until it rained anyway.

17. Doesn't that stuff dry out?
It'd be kind of hard to reshape it if it dried out.
