<p>I don’t think a bra purse is on my list of things to make.</p>
<p>I checked the tampon crafts site again, and decided that the halloween ghost is definitely cute, if you can get past the mortification factor of seeing that stuff out in public.</p>
<p>Also noted that the blowpipe looks much safer to use than our pvc potato cannon.</p>
<p>Not too far off topic: one of my friends has a Christmas tree that is decorated with metallic condom packages. The packages are round and and are festive colors, so you have to really look at it to see what the ornaments are made of.</p>
<p>Ha-ha. A former coworker told me a story of her going through the airport security at an airport abroad a few weeks after the infamous shoe bomber incident. Her purse was serached, and the lonely tampon she had in there was ripped apart to make sure it did not contain anything dangerous. Now imaging how she felt during that ordeal seeing “that stuff” in public!</p>
<p>As far as a bag to hold 160 bras, the bags I saw at Macy’s would be able to hold that many without bursting at the seams. Question is: what kind of giant were they designed for? A 7-foot tall female? No wonder they were in the “50% off” clearance bin.</p>
<p>This is the BEST thread (string). Far better than arguing over politics. </p>
<p>My story: Long ago my house was teepee’d when I was in high school. The culprits (we never found out who) did a delightful job of making a large grassy front yard look like it had snowed…single squares covered the entire area (must have teken them hours to do). Next morning Mom was furious, made me and sisters clean it up. Thankfully during cleanup we opened the mailbox prior to mail delivery…the whole inside of the mailbox was lined securely with stick 'em sanitary pads. Imagine the poor postman’s surprise if we had not made the discovery first! Best of all was the discovery of the garden hose with a tampon shoved in it. Couldn’t budge that tampon pull and tug though we might. It had swollen with the dampness from the night before. Only way to get it out was to turn on the water…you’ve never seen a tampon fly quite so far. What a lesson in physics!</p>
<p>Oaks, that is the most organized t.p. job I have ever heard of. Talk about an eye for detail!
The mailbox and hose would have been mortifying for me to see (in high school). But now that I am more mature, your story made me laugh out loud.</p>
<p>I know you have been waiting with bated breath to hear if the Tampax Bandit has been found and brought to justice. Sadly, this is not the case. This daring criminal is still at large.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Note that the bandit left the maxi-pads behind. :)</p>
<p>Oooh!! Those look comfy! Maybe I can send ‘homemade gifts’ this Christmas (with the tight economy and all!)…my Mom and sisters might appreciate them ;)</p>
<p>An update arrived in today’s mail. It appears that just before Christmas, the daring thief made away with enough supplies to make slippers for all family members:</p>
<p>Rig the tampax dispenser with a device that sprays purple skin stain into the face of anyone who trys to pry open the dispenser. That’d teach this guy a lesson.</p>
<p>Chintzy and karencolleges,
Have simlar embarassing dog bandit stories from teenaged years. :o
But in this case I think this [Welcome</a> To Tampon Crafts](<a href=“http://www.tamponcrafts.com/]Welcome”>http://www.tamponcrafts.com/) could be the reason…</p>
<p>*** oops just realized this was an old thread, and cartera already posted the lovely tampon crafts.
Why’d this thread make an annual reappearance?? (<<< a lead in to lots of potentially amusing retorts>>>)</p>
from the night before. Only way to get it out was to turn on the water…you’ve never seen a tampon fly quite so far. What a lesson in physics!</p>
