#351 - Dry
When I was a kid and I still took baths, I always liked the part at the end when I drained the water. I stayed in the tub and played with my toys while the water went down. Then at the very end if I was playing with floating toys there would be a horrible whirlpool that they would get sucked into. If I was playing under water then it was as if the draining water had formed a tornado that would terrorize my helpless adventurers. Showers just aren’t the same.

Yeah, that’s the bad thing about man made lakes.

Our plug was missing the cover on it, so any toys we played with ended up clogging the plugging.
Good times…*Begins reminiscing*

I used to do that, too.
My parents had one of those fancy jacuzzi bathtubs, and when the water level got too far down, I’d get blasted with mist until it dried itself out.
I always pretended I was in a hurricane.

Ah, to be a kid again. If only I could watch G.I Joes fail to stop the ocean from draining once more…

Even though I’m 18 I like to imagine all the patches of bubbles in a bubble bath are islands and I’m some kind of evil God constantly terrorising and destroying/merging islands in some sped-up version of time. Then eventually the end of the world arrives as I pull out the plug.
Alas, now I’m a University student, I live in a flat which only has a shower. They feel like such a formal functional event in comparison to baths.

The drain whirlpool is kids
play compared to the flopping
noise of suffocating fish…

The picture almost made a stronger impact without the subtext.
Something that could work for a theme picture, like for shirts and stuff.

I always used to hate getting out of the bath because the air was always too cold compaired to the water. When I was a kid I used to use my arms to try and create a dam to try and stop the last inch or so of water from making it’s way to the drain.
At JezMM: Come to think of it I think I also used to do that “bubbles are islands and I’m a evil god slowly destroying them”. Or at the very least I remember I used to do that with my hot coco, pretending the mound of powder that didn’t sink right away was an island and I’d use my spoon to slowly wittle away at the sides of the thing until it finally sank. Oh yes, good times, good times XD

Man, now I feel old. I had a bath the other day and all I did was lie there and let my muscles relax. Have I become… horror of horrors… BORING?
Excuse me, I need to go make a fort out of couch cushions now.

trueblaze: You *USED* to do it too? =O I STILL do it too. =D

JezMM: Well I say used to because it’s been a long time since I’ve had a cup of coco. Mind you if I did, I’d probably do the same thing again :D. On an interesting note, have you ever noticed that coco sinks faster in hot water rather cold.

Oh, Biff. I guess you missed the memo.
“We have installed a plug in the lake. Fishing prohibited.”

I remeber those bathtub days. Good days. I did that dam thing too (whew, I hate cursing, and saying that just gives me the jibblies… :/), with trying to keep the water from going down the drain. And I always loved filling the water with as many bubbles from shampoo bottles as I possibly can, then built some kind of water dragon castle out of them (when I was the water dragon). I would make an elaborate entrance and even sometimes a roof. It was HUGE!
I also liked to turn on the shower and leave the drain plugged, and pretend that I was some sort of water dragon trapped in a rainstorm which was flooding his island.
Talking about the good old days makes me want to go do that… but I think I’m too old for that.
You know what?! WHO CARES! *runs off to the tub*

Fishing prohibited;
Ignoring the sign, Biff learns
This lake has a plug.
