In your face, Weird Universe: there is too activity in Janna's Pictures of Towels group!!!

Yeah! Inyerfaces, as Joy would say.

I have successfully featured this content in Pictures of Towels.

Dannielle, they probably do have several faces, so that would be perfectly appropriate.

Wait! I need to add the dish towels.

Amen.

Updated with dish towels.

I hope I don't have to explain to Andrea why I consider this a worthy submission to her "Sucks to be Me" group, but I'm fully prepared to do so if challenged.

My towels are barren and lackluster. Your towels put mine to shame. I could never share my plain, designer-deficient towels with Gather now that I've seen what yours look like.

I'm ashamed.

At last, the dish towels have their moment to shine.

Srsly, inyerfaces!

Aniko! We have the same distowels, I think! Dare I... could I... would I... drag out the camera and prove it?!

Perhaps. ;-)

"Distowels"? An appropriate typo in a post with "In your face" in the title!

Love your towels Aniko.

Towel beauty is essential to the at home feeling for the American family.

So lovely and elegant. And, I just lo-o-ove the automatically-generated ads that came up next to this article. So chic!

Joy, you must get that camera out! We need more recent activity in the Pictures of Towels group to show those meanies at Weird Universe!

Ina, we've been using the same bath towels since we were living in Jamaica, and that was a long time ago. Barren and lackluster doesn't begin to describe their condition. So this year, Santa decided that since "he" was stumped for ideas anyway, "he" might as well get some towels. "He" made the mistake of going into the first store and buying the pretty ones there, only to see only slightly less shiny ones for a quarter of the price in the next store. This particular Santa has always been uncharacteristically clueless when it comes to shopping, so "he" let off a few choice Hungarian phrases, counted "his" losses, and went about "his" business.

We're trying, as you can tell, Sharon. Next July the Fourth, we'll cover the place in red-white-and-blue plastic and break every state and city law regarding exploding things in your backyard. I can't promise we'll set the place on fire though.

Dave, "unfortunately" I can't see the ads. This is a mystery I haven't been able to solve, as I haven't installed any ad-blocking program. Also, if I run CCleaner, the ads come back for a short while, then disappear again. And this only happens on Gather, not any other site that I've seen. Sometimes I feel so ad-deprived I switch to IE to be able to see them...

I've trained myself not to look at them most of the time.

I'm thinking of posting something appropriately ghastly, maybe axe murders or something, just to see what great deals there are on truncheons, flails, halberds and maces.

(Aniko: should the title be "there is too" rather than "too is" activity?)

Dave, that's an excellent idea.

Indeed it should, Dannielle, but until I hear from Andrea regarding acceptance of this piece in the "Sucks to be Me" group, I'd better leave it there as another supporting detail.

I have BEAUTIFUL towels just like yours...heheh... unused and nestled on shelves, too pretty to disturb. But, if my grandson keeps hogging all the daily towels, dropping them on the floor in his room and leaving them there until I start yelling that there are no more left in the main bathroom, I might have to start usig the pretty ones! Last week, it took FOUR loads to wash all the white towels he finally hauled out of his room! I have this adoration for those ritzy spa-type fluffy WHITE towels which we use for every day and save the colored and patterned designer ones for company.

hmn, i guess since they are clean towels that they can't go in the Dirty Laundry group.

Duckie, these haven't been used yet either (except for the beach towels), but they will be soon.

As it turns out, the green dish towel on top is made of the same kind of material and has the same checked pattern as older (and by now much less presentable) beige ones we have. I only realized this when A. stared at it in horror as it hang on the rack, and exclaimed, "What did you do to that towel?! It's green!!!"

I could work on that, CC. The beach towels, in fact, are probably not all that clean.

I can remember when towels were useful. They're just a strain, now.

After having seen many ads for it over the past week, I have a question: Does a ShamWow count as a towel?

"Does a ShamWow count as a towel?"

I'd have to say yes.

ShamWow!® It's like a towel, a chamois, a sponge. Holds 20x its weight in liquid. You'll Say WOW Everytime!®

What a wonderful way to say "So long!" to the old year and ring in the new. Thanks for this touching towel montage, Aniko.

I've corrected the error pointed out by Dannielle, since Andrea is ignoring my humble submission (in further evidence that it Sucks to be Me).

Sheryl, it sounds more like "wringing" in the New Year.

Aniko, usually I'll delete comments where I point out a goof (assuming I remember leaving it.) If I do that here, it will make everything confusing, though.

Don't delete it, Dannielle. I'm still hoping, against all odds, that this humble tribute to towels will be accepted into Andrea's exclusive group dedicated to suckiness.

Perhaps you should add a photo of a baster -- that suction device used to drizzle juices over a roast? Or a vacuum cleaner. That would add suckiness.

Aniko, those are some bright, colorful towels that Santa found for you guys!

Somehow, I don't quite think Danielle's idea is quite what is meant by "It Sucks to be Me" ... now if the group was called "It sucks____ me" well you get the idea...

It would have to be vacuum cleaner. I don't own one of those basting thingies.

Kathleen, my suggestion simply adds "suck potential" to a photo essay that currently favors the more gentle quality of "absorption" -- since Aniko isn't actually claiming to *be* a towel (thus missing out on the "to be me" part.)

Aniko -- yeah. I don't have one of those things, either; I think only folks like Madame Donna keep them around.

And lesbians who want to impregnate each other.

Whew... I was afraid ya'll had thrown in the... naaah..
