A brief-yet-ongoing journal of all things Carmi. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for your mouse to click back to Google. But you'll be intrigued. And you'll feel compelled to return following your next bowl of oatmeal. With brown sugar. And milk.

Wordless Wednesday - Suck on this
Straw poll London, ON, March 2008 [Click to embiggen]
You know, Carmi, I can remember the very first time I saw straws that were bendable. My dad had fallen off a telephone pole (he was an electrician) and he was in the hospital (with a broken back). They brought him drinks with these bendy straws. I was fascinated. This was about 42 years ago! How's that for being dated?
Cool one. Great title. Hopefully not reflecting your mood for sure. I borrowed your idea and wordlessly blogged. Now I have to sit on my hands for the rest of the day. :)
HA! The pic is unique, but I love the caption. You clearly have a sense of humor, so I'll be checking out your place as well as the other "geekier blog" you have *wink* Have a happy WW and thx so much for your visit.
uhmm...first you have to tell me what's in the glass. ;) and if i like it, i'm gonna have to request you to give me my own glass and straw. hahaha! is it obvious a little obsessisive-compulsive? hee hee hee!
thanks for visiting my sites! :) enjoy the rest of the week!
Thanks for stopping by my blog... I love your photo..its great...I love photos of odd and interesting things.... look forward to checking more of your pics out
Hello Carmi! Did you take a straw poll before deciding upon the caption for this? I love it! Hope your "Thursday masquerading as a Friday" turned out better than you thought it would. Terri

Ummm, Carmi...you're baiting me again, aren't you? Except this time it's kind of the opposite of my standard "hit and run" line....;)
ReplyDeleteWith your title, I feel totally exonerated from comment inappropriateness til the end of time.
'nough said!
Nice, Carmi. Nice.

Didn't know you were bent, Carmi.

Not if it is a soda! The average U.S. citizen drinks 54 gallons a year! Maybe if it is a vanilla milkshake?

seems like there should be 100% fresh-squeezed lemon juice at the other end of that one.
ReplyDeletemine is glass-related today, but completely different.

ReplyDeleteDepends on what's beneath the straw...a nice cold Coke, amaretto and sour mix, or just some sparkling water.

ReplyDeleteHow about a glass of ice-cold Coke? Lovely photo, made me want to grab a glass and slurp away.
Hello Carmi!
ReplyDeleteDid you take a straw poll before deciding upon the caption for this?
I love it!
Hope your "Thursday masquerading as a Friday" turned out better than you thought it would.
