mbarrick | This amuses me!

Which Oyster Boy Character Are You?

"Why so amused?" you ask. When I was little I used to hang out in my father's upholstery shop which was rife with toxic smells: the odors or PVC, vinyl and naugahide; the stench of various and assorted adhesives, the smell of aerosol vynil dyes. That's why it amuses me. I loved the vinyl dye and always wanted to spray it on everything, I was also fond of this particular spray adhesive my dad and I nicknamed "feather glue" for the way it came out of the can in feathery filaments. There is no telling how much crap I inhaled as a little kid in my dad's shop. Toss in the ambient smoke from my dad's four-pack-a-day habit and the preservative and pesticide soaked food of the late 60's/early 70's and by today's conventional wisdom I should be a 45 Kg asthmatic with a degenerative neurological disorder and a learning disability.
