Hey, free towel.

[BoneSnapDeez]

That's exactly what I said to my wife.

That's kind of gross, some old towel. I guess I can be kind of a germaphobe. But I'd get over it and realize I had a new free towel!

But seriously, I like having a ton of old shirts and towels to use as rags. I keep some in the garage when working on my car, and I keep some by my workbench mostly for cleaning fretboards.

Ha. I got a small white handtowel used as packaging before too with a bit of a stain on it. The item was inside a clean bag. I washed the hell out of the towel just to be sure and it is just aside for uses where it might get messed up. I have a random tan towel that came from the beach which was similarly scrubbed to hell and serves for car foggy window and other emergency use.

But here's what weird kind of germaphone I am: If I got some random towel used as packaging I would of course wanna wash it before using it, even as just a rag. But I wouldn't wanna put it in the machine with my own cloths.

It's times like this I'm glad my washer and dryer have steam sanitize settings.

I am really hating on Google for forcing people to use their real identity especially that Google accounts used over a wide range of services like Google+, YouTube, and Gmail. What happens to people that got famous with a nickname like Cubex55 ?

I really think there should be like an official guide on how to ship items and specific products built for such a thing, like boxes to ship PS2s, specific bag for shipping wrist watches...etc.

I'm not one to be happy when a person dies, but I am today. Fred Phelps, founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, died yesterday. Fuck that guy and good riddance.

Yeah, he and his ilk are huge morons, but I tend to view the WBC in a weird way. I feel like they did more to galvanize folks FOR gay rights than anything else. It's like:

"Oh, you're not down with treating gay people like human beings? Meet these people over here from Kansas; they have the same kind of ideas as you. Seems like y'all would get along great."

"Uhh, no thanks. If I'm coming off like that, then maybe I've got this whole gay thing wrong..."
