I wasted all day scratching glass; I checked Facebook, then Snapchat, then went on Pinterest and just scrolled for hours. I think I have a problem.
Joe Hildebrand is such a glass-scratcher. He spends so much time on Twitter but only has a few followers, and then he comes on Channel 10 and can't hold a proper conversation. Why does he bother trying to be a celebrity when he can't engage in social interaction outside of Twitter?

Get the scratching glassmug. These are large scratch and sniff cards that were given out for free at screenings. Of John waters 1981 film "polyester". The idea is simple: the card has about 20-25 numbered icons each corresponding with a smell in the movie. When the number is flashed on the screen you simply scratch the corresponding icon. Odors included soiled tennis shoes.vomit.dog poo stinky farts........ you get the idea!

Get the scratchmug. A badger scratching means you are feeling the urge to take a poop. It’s that feeling when you know you need to set everything else aside and get to a potty soon.

Get the Scratchmug. Authority figures, with veneer of legitimacy so thin, that it can be readily removed, to reveal the criminal constitution that is beneath.
The mother was a hypocrit, and a scratch-off authority, with a history of criminal faults, that she hid behind the facade of respectable, government, employee.
