    You know how they used to make a kid smoke a fistful of cigars back-to-back to break him from ever smoking again? ... Glitter her up, baby!

    I'm in the Yay! camp.
    Seriously, glitter is fun. And little bits of it lingering for 6 months after the fact... that's also super fun. A little reminder of silly.

    Maybe your daughter will be like mine. She loves looking at glitter when it's sticking to things. She can't stand playing with glitter. She wants it off her hands, arms, face, whatever IMMEDIATELY and freaks out if a speck sticks to her. It's a good embellishment for clothing and great with nail polish, but beyond that she sees no place for glittery things in her life. I realize this could change at any time. It may eventually become the bane of my existence. But not now.

    Demetri Martin said it best, calling it the herpes of arts and crafts.

    Practical jokes run in my family. I once bought a sack of little plastic ants and spiders and spread them throughout my sisters house. 15 years later, they still pop up occasionally.

    That reminds me....not as bad as glitter, but you know those hole-punch dots?

    I once dumped about a zip-lock baggy's worth of those down someone's defrost vents in their car, then cranked the fan so that when they turned on their car they'd all come flying at them. She said for months she would randomly turn on her A/C and get blasted in the face with them.

    fflowley Don't just do something, stand there!

    Mama made the mistake of leaving me home with our 3 young girls two weeks ago because of a snow day.
    I was thrilled when they decided it was arts and crafts time, so I could get a moment's peace to myself.
    Do you think I know they have tubes full of glitter in their arts and crafts supplies?
    In the span of 2 weeks since it has made it out of the kitchen, upstairs, basically everywhere.
    Only upside: I can go to strip clubs for the next 20 years and never have to worry about being "caught" with glitter on my clothes or body. I've got total cover.

    I mentioned this delivery service to my wife and she was definitely in the Yay camp.

    To be clear, I am not.

    I have three unrelated short statements which, much like tannerite, become so much more when taken together:

    1.Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies, it's transmissable by contact and never goes away.
    2. ThunderB's are a type of airsoft grenade that dumps a 12 gram Co2 canister into a plastic shell, popping it. A friend of mine discovered that filling these with liquid ferbreeze makes for an incredibly powerful aerosolized cloud of Lavender. Super Duper Hooah Armchair Troopers do not like smelling like someone blew up a Lush.
    3. Airsoft M203 grenades work similarly and are basically just tubes full of BBs... or potentially anything else you can get in there.

    We're contemplating using this as a punishment for rulebreaking because the only thing that could possibly be worse for these guys than getting turned into a tactical Bath & Body Works is looking and smelling like the Very Special Flower that they are.

    My first thought was "that angel is hot". That one shoulder thing covers yet entices.
    And the film is better than actual glitter. I have dealt with it every bloody holiday season at the retail store and it needs to die a slow and painful death; basically what happens if you are tied to a chair and forced to watch the Twilight films.
