I'm going to get my nails done. Is that a Republican thing to do?

[xultar]

Shit shifts around here so much I'm never sure if I'm still considered a Liberal or not.

[cboy4]

1. Nails are fine. But if you support Republicans, that's

a Republican thing to do.

[xultar]

Thanks. What I'll do is PM you when I've got shit to do and you can purify my path.

[cboy4]

23. Are you sure there would be enough chlorine? nt

[xultar]

32. For me yes. For you, not so much. Being so pure and all.

[Quantess]

2. That gave me a disgusting visual.

Talking about shit shifting, and then pondering whether to get your nails done...

[xultar]

3. DAYUM. BUHWAWAWAWAWAWA!

[Quantess]

8. Sorry, that was bad, I know.

:evilgrin:
I have a dog to clean up after.

[xultar]

14. Me too. But I also have fudge brownies that I'm looking at throwing out now.

DAYUM. They were so good when I cooked them last night.

[Kutjara]

4. Only if you have them shaped like...

...capitalist-oppressor style talons and painted the color of workers' blood. That's just sooooo GOP.

[ColbertWatcher]

5. Are you a dude?

Do you vocally oppose men wearing nail polish? Do you donate to groups that oppose men wearing nail polish? Do you secretly wear nail polish in men's rooms?

Then yes, it is a very republican thing to do.

[xultar]

9. When I have my toes done I'm going tap dancing in the MIN airport bathrooms.

Ooooops. Better not. Tap dancing in a stall @ MIN is very republican.

[ColbertWatcher]

17. Dance Troop!

I wonder if someone has started a tap dancing troop based on Mr. Craig's bathroom adventures?

[WinkyDink]

6. If they're your toe-nails, and you intend to tap, tap, tap with them......

[LisaM]

7. Only if you go to one of those places where the workers are exploited

Long shifts, no breaks, toxic fumes.......etc.

[xultar]

11. Nope. Not going to McDonalds to get them done so I'm cool.

[Zywiec]

10. You can afford to have your nails done??

Those posts should be coming soon...

:rofl:

[xultar]

12. I forgot. If have recreational $$$ you cannot be a Liberal. Really though, I cannot

afford to get them done. I could be doing other shit but a dog bit one of my nails and it looks gross so I like having it covered up.

[AlCzervik]

13. a manicure, a full wrap, a fill in?

[xultar]

15. Fill in. I suffered a dog bite on my thumb nail and it looks gross so I got fakes

until the fugly nail grows out.

[AlCzervik]

31. ouch! Is it healing up ok?

i got bit through my index fingernail once--but a squirrel and i wish i was kidding but i'm not, hurt like a muthafucka.

[xultar]

34. IT throbbed for 4 weeks straight. It is healed but 1/2 the nail is gone.

It just looks better and cleaner with a fake on.
OK I'm audi.
Xultar

[zabet]

16. Not unless they

are going to be
used to stab someone
in the back with - that's
the republican way.

[xultar]

19. FUCK. Better cancel my date tonight. I love using the nails on the back.

grrrr...meow

[zabet]

29. ...

:spray:

[Horse with no Name]

18. I love that luxury

However, my job forbids it.
Have a nice time!

[Solly Mack]

20. Like shit through the hourglass...

... so are the nails if not dry

[xultar]

22. BUHWAWAWAWA! DUzy!

[katty]

21. do what YOU want to do - no need for DU "Approval"!

[xultar]

25. I really want to be a Liberal though. I love my fellow human. I resuce pets.

I donate, recycle...watch sci fi. I wanna be pure.

[katty]

28. Hey Liberate yourself as YOU see fit! +get a pedicure as well :)

[redqueen]

24. It's a superficial thing to do... but that's not the sole territory of repukes.

I don't know why anyone does that, dyes their gray hair, or most of the other shit people do to 'look nice'. It's all baffling.

[xultar]

26. What makes it superficial. I think they highten sex. My kitties sure like them.

NO...not that kitty. Coco and Velcro love to have their asses scratched. Ever since I lost a nail to a dog bite I've been enjoying the luxury while covering up a really nasty looking healed wound. The dogs love them too. Both the dogs and my SO.

[redqueen]

36. Hehe... good point!

I used to have them done but then I started taking kung fu classes so I stopped. They can be dangerous in that setting.

And now I'm just too cheap and stubborn for it to go back on my list of priorities no matter how many people say how nice they looked in old pics. :P

Plus mine grow in pretty well on their own, even if they are bent out of shape. Heh, still works for getting things unstuck and scratching or tickling or what have you. :hi:

[xultar]

39. I'd been depressed for a while. I had no interest in my apperance. Not that I'm not

so depressed it is nice to care about my appearance. But I tell ya, as soon as that nail grows back in. The fakes are comin off cuz it cuts into my martini budget.

TTYL.

[redqueen]

44. Hah... I hear you there.

I spent a good few years in that state myself. And it is nice when it turns around, isn't it? :hug:

The worst thing about those nails IMO was they had to glob them on so thick (maybe just cause my natural nails are so bent out of shape) that they wouldn't break for anything, and so they would hurt like the dickens instead of just breaking like my real nails do. I sure don't miss that!

[Habibi]

27. Dying one's hair is actually

pretty necessary in today's job market. Lucky you if that doesn't apply.

[redqueen]

35. Well my boss has 'commented' on it.

"Is all that your gray hair?!"... I made sure to document the comment with my supervisor & HR immediately. :)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. Is all that your gray hair?

No, I borrowed it to see if I liked the look. :P

What a dumbass.



Good on you for documenting the comment!

[MiniMe]

46. Disgusting, but it reminds me of a card that I once got.

It was a birthday card, and it had a picture of a woman who was standing in the shower. It was tasteful, you could only see her feet, head, and the shower curtain. The card said something like: you know you are getting old when you realize that your head is not the only place you get gray hair" and the woman in the shower is going auuggghhhhh.

OK, I'll punish myself now for repeating that. :banghead:

[malaise]

52. I don't dye my hair

but I love manicures and pedicures. Now I'm really worried - I thought I was a leftist all my life.

Funny story - when I was a university student, I was nominated for a position on the Guild and the most powerful of the left wing groups knew I couldn't lose. One of the assholes in the group was very vocal and didn't want me representing them since I always used Nina Ricci's L'Air du Temps. Well the rest of them knew I would beat their candidate so I won on a combined ticket, but I have so much fun when I see him in his gas guzzler with his flashy clothes while we live a modest life. I never forget to remind him of his asinine comments versus his shallow beliefs.

[CTyankee]

80. Oh, no! I am downright huffy about well kept nails.

No fake stuff. But I also don't go for hair dyeing any more; my natural gray is just fine.

Nails should be neat, no gross cuticle (mine is awful so I can't let it grow), and if I have any color at all it is a sheer buff. I have thin nails that tend to peel, so they have to be short. But I only go to the nail place once or twice a month. Pedicures help my toes stay healthy and look neat and trimmed. I do have them painted because I think it's ok for toes and kind of festive. But I go to a very inexpensive place so my nails don't cost a fortune to maintain...

[Sugar Smack]

30. I'm going to go get my hair henna'ed

in 3 weeks. :loveya:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

33. Just follow these simple rules and you'll be fine.

Do go to an establishment that us owned and operated by registered Democrats.

Do make sure that all the products used are eco-friendly and check to make sure that they recycle.

Do check that the establishment supports unions and if there's one available that all workers are members.

Don't go someplace that's not within walking distance or at least on a public transit route.

Do make sure all those employed are getting a fair wage for their services.

As an added bonus you could also check the political donations of the owner before doing business with them. You don't want a closet Republican working on you that is only pretending to be a Democrat.

:P

[Madam Mossfern]

40. Those nails are bad for you (a mommy speaking)

I had wraps done to go to a wedding and kept them up for about six months. They ruined my natural nails and it took almost a year for my real ones to look normal again. Think about what they do to your natural nail...grind it down and then suffocate it in some polymer.

Quit now before it's too late and wear a bandaid on the damaged one until it grows in right.

OK lecture over - go enjoy yourself, relax. I'm just an old biddy.

[treestar]

75. Not a bad point

It would behoove Democrats to patronize each other's businesses.

[IndianaJones]

38. yes...its also the gender card. nt.

[Quantess]

45. What is it with you and the gender card?

Or, am I mistaking you for someone else?

[IndianaJones]

50. I don't support the gender card. nt.

[Quantess]

61. This is so esoteric to me.

What is "gender card"? Is that like "playing the gender card"?

So far, you are the only one I have noticed using the term "gender card" and yet there is never an explanation.

[qb]

41. Only if you sneer down your nose at the "little people" doing the work. nt

[MoonRiver]

42. How are you getting them done?

French, red, nail art, etc...

I get mine done every two weeks, at least! Viva pretty nails! :)

[xultar]

67. French. The French are good right. They hate bush.

[MoonRiver]

73. Yes! I love French manicures and everything else (French)!

I even buy their bottled water just to p.o. the grocery store locals. :D

[Kurovski]

43. It's a Republican thing only if you get blood on your hands.

[Matariki]

47. Not necessarily Republican, but definitely HIGH MAINTENANCE.

I always advise my male friends who are looking for love to *never* date a woman who pays to get her nails done. They're high maintenance ;-)

[horsewithnoname]

48. As long as the establishment is not owned by one of them

It should be OK, I just refuse to spend my money in anyplace that one of them owns, works at, gather/loiter at, or frequent. It makes it difficult sometimes, but sometimes we (as individuals) need to make sacrifices for the better of all mankind and society as a whole.

[Horse with no Name]

49. You stole my name.

Or...you stole my "no name".

[uppityperson]

68. Don't worry, it's gone now..

[Horse with no Name]

78. Whew!

Thought I was going to have to give up my name cause I sure wasn't going to share it.:D

[Der Blaue Engel]

51. If it is, nobody better criticize it

Or they'll cry.

[Perry Logan]

53. Lying around in your own turds is a Republican thing to do.

[fascisthunter]

54. oh brother

[cboy4]

56. Such persecution, ha? nt

[fascisthunter]

57. Remember... be nice to republicans (nt)

[cboy4]

59. Yes. Must follow orders.

:puke:

[Raine]

55. How you vote is what matters

other than that I think you should do what makes you feel good about yourself. :-)

[krabigirl]

58. LOL, I hope not. I get pedicures regularly in the summer. I tip well though. :)

[SoCalDem]

60. Only if you get the elephant diamond pavé designs on them

:)

[trashcanistanista]

62. It's ok if you don't get them polished

in red, otherwise, yes, it's too republican. This applies to men, women, children and pets.

[xultar]

66. I paint my Chihuahua Xena's nails red. OMG XENA is a REPUBLICAN!

[trashcanistanista]

70. Just put booties on her when

you are out walking around. No one will know.

[salin]

63. just don't go to glamour shots and get a 'gauzed' picture

you won't be blamed as being a republican, but it will somehow be reason to knocking you down without having to cite any actual policy/issue that you might support. *reference to yet another superfical thread meant to agitate supporters and rally the detractors*.

[tomreedtoon]

64. If you were a genuine person, you wouldn't HAVE nails.

You would have chewed them all off as you lost your job, watched your spouse die from lack of medical care, or got the remains of your son back from Iraq in a shoebox.

If you have nails, you have no soul. 'Nuff said.

[xultar]

65. My December gas bill was only $57.12. Does that give me soul?

[Ikonoklast]

69. Only if you shared your space with ten homeless people

Wasting all that extra warm air on yourself.

[tomreedtoon]

77. That';s only one tank of gas. Not enough for a month's driving.

That means your car isn't powered by gasoline, but by Satan. You still seem to have no soul, but now we know to whom you sold it.

[boston bean]

71. That depends on if you are male or female. nt

lol

[blondeatlast]

72. I neglected mine for years until I saw "Legally Blonde" and remembered the

bitch 'n pamper I was missing.

Mind swinging by my place and we'll go together?

[karlrschneider]

74. Screws are better

they don't work loose.
:D

[NNN0LHI]

76. My wife gets giddy just thinking about going to get her nails done

I get the same way when I am going to get my hair cut.

We are no Rethugs.

[Didereaux]

79. it is if you re going to load a shotgun with them afterwards!
