So I bought some hemostats yesterday.

[coinoperatedgirl]

I found them at the local Walmart, in the fishing department.  They work beautifully, but that's not what this is about.


I'm at the register, and the cashier is ringing me out.  She looks at me, covered in tattoos, bright pink hair, with nothing but a couple of sets of hemostat pliers that are obviously from the fishing department, and is looking at me questioningly because I don't really look like the fishing type.  "Aw.... are you going to be using this on fish?"


I look up from the credit card pad and reply, "No, I use it to rip out the hair on My Little Ponies."


"OH MY GOD YOU PULL THEIR HAIR OUT?!?!?"


It was the funniest thing ever.  She was more upset that I was going to be defacing ponies than gutting fish.

Around here, they are commonly used by druggies. I happened to buy my pair along with munchies.. I got "the look"

We looked there first, and didn't find any.  We did see an adorable ferret that I wanted, but couldn't get.

lolololol that's hilarious.
being a cashier, it's always fun to see the weird orders like that. Or like oranges, shampoo, and a dog bed lol
my roomie and I baited ponies in public one time over lunch...the looks convinced us to keep that activity strictly to our room.

haha, thats about the same reaction my sister-in-law gave me when she saw some of my de-haired and headless pony's in my kitchen... not to mention the pony heads I have hanging from the upper cabinets..

I'm lead pharmacy tech in a ghetto pharmacy.  After the guy who bought a 12-pack of enemas, a pair of ladies' sunglasses, and some face cream, nothing surprises me anymore.

My daughter made up a song about baiting ponies... She's eleven...


Hush little pony don't make a move
Mommy's gonna give you a new hairdo
But first we have to decapitate you
So hold very still and don't make a move




There are actions on the third line. Imagine. I did video this for posterity, but won't post it public, LOL.

I got my hemostats free from my mom's doctor's wife. We were using them in cake decorating class, so it wasn't considered weird at all.
