I'm wondering if such a thing exists, and if not, how they came to be called that. Joy Should we call them hair blobs? Theresa They tend to be poop shaped and colored around here, so Mandy calls then hair poops. Perhaps we should re-name them fur-squidge-ewws, after the sound that happens when you step on them? squidge "Ewwwwwwww!" Yowie That sounds appropriate. ;-) Joy My worst experience with hairballs was more of an "OWWWW!". I had just gotten out of bed and headed for the bathroom, eyes half-open. Katie had left a hairball in the middle of the hall. I stepped on it, had my foot slide out from under me, and ended up on the floor with a bruised hip, a bruised knee (knocked against a door frame on the way down), and a coating of cat-hair and semi-processed cat food smeared over my pajamas. I was _NOT_ a happy camper. Well, you can have fur-squidge-splat-owwws if you like :-) Sorry about your hip & knee, I"m currently nursing a tender behind myself from a rather undignified fall on Saturday afternoon on a wet muddy hill. Of course I was at a wedding in my best clothes and lots of people were watching.... Yowie |

Back when my grandfather was an Army chaplain, he once had an even more embarrassing moment. While being introduced to a senior officer, he sneezed out his false teeth.

Which reminds me of the true story of the senior trader on the London Metal Exchange, which operated under the "open outcry" (ie shoutingbellowing) system who in extremis spat out his falsies into the central large (3-ft) metal dish around which the circle of traders' benches was arranged. Being a true trader he jumped up, dashed, grabbed & reinstalled them, then continued trading at full pelt. The "eeewwww" thing is, that dish was used as an ashtray, used chewing-gum depository & general waste-bin. Purrs to all Gordon.
