The gooblax, the goggles, and the onion

[David Baxter PhD]

I wore oxy welding goggles while trying to cut an onion.

That visual is hilarious...

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work... But the amusement factor certainly made up for that.

Did you wear the lab coat too?

Nope - I don't have a lab coat... but I should have worn overalls and steel-capped boots. Maybe the welding gloves as well.

:lol: That's a wonderful visual...Were you worried the onion was going to drop on your little toes?

Re: 3 Positive Things

Well actually... I did manage to drop the onion on the floor. So yes, that was a very real threat.

:lol: They do kind of get a little slippery when the skin is removed....Although I'm guessing the onion was no real threat to your toes....

On the other hand, had I been cutting a watermelon... :yikes:

PS. - YAY my very own thread-split!

:lol: Now watermelon could have been a real threat! :yikes:

Yep. And just in case gravity happens to reverse, I might need a hard-hat too!

Now is this a thread-split, a banana-split, or a watermelon-split?

And if gooblax owns a pair of goggles, are they gooblax's goggles, gogblax's googles, goggle's gorblax, goggle's googles or google's goggles? :juggle:

just exactly what is a gooblax anyway?

See [GOOGLE]gooblax[/GOOGLE] and Dr. Seuss, Word Inventor quiz -- free game

I'm not entirely sure what a gooblax is... At the time, I'd been trying to think of names for a fantasy RPG (role playing game). So maybe it's a type of goblin. That would probably fit well with the near-destruction of the "Kingdom of Didd" from the Dr. Seuss link.

Awesome! Thanks! His goggles look even better than mine. I might have to borrow them some time...
