Gnaw gnaw

Because I was eating too many pens, and leaving bits of chewed plastic all over my desk, and occasionally getting splattered with ink, I decided to buy some dog chew toys to chew on instead.

They tasted really amazingly awful, at first -- like they'd been sprayed with some weird chemical. After a while that went away, but then they got really really slimy and made me drool all over my shirt. Bits of slime also got splattered on the monitor and stuck between my teeth. I ended up with a terrible headache, too, although I'm not *sure* that was related.

All in all, the experiment was a failure. Maybe I'll try teflon next, or Peppermint suggested hamster alfalfa snacks.

Also, a bit of a song going through my head incessantly:
If you can buy it it can be bought.
If you can buy it it can be stolen.
If you can break it...
...it's already broken.
