Um, you could try Uzis or Bazookas, but I find the only best way to REALLY fuck shit up is with nuclear weapons...

I hate the wrappers on processed cheese too. You always end up with some of the cheese underneath your fingernails (no matter how short they are) and it gives you that really uncomfortable "ugh!" feeling until you scrub the cheese away.


i think that's kind of hot lurking

LMFAO at this thread!!!! lol Because like most things comical, it is COMPLETELY based on the TRUTH!!!

I just gave up on the whole CD wrapper thing a long time ago, and now after purchasing something, I just basically give myself a pre-planned 5 minute allotment to chew it off at the corner the way an old cow chews cud, lol lol lol !!!!!

the cellophane part you're on your own with, but to get the sticker off the top (this is the gangstafam method, mind you), unhinge the cover at the bottom, then swing the cover up and pull the sticker off by separating the pieces of the jewel case. oh my GOD it's easy.


eek

Genius. biggrin

Does anyone else have a difficult time opening a new CD?
I was up ALL night the other night watching Tamar and Prince and still made it to work on time and lasted ALL day....I felt like I deserved a special treat because of that effort, so stopped by Borders to buy the new Fagen CD....THEN sat in the parking lot for 20 minutes just trying to get the f-ing wrapper off..... mad.....and I even broke one of short, albeit well manicured, nails!



You can ask the sales associate to open it for you. They can do it in about 15 seconds. There is a trick to it.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

I always have set of fingernail clippers nearby...



...and the set in my car has been my salvation in this regard.

There's a spot on the top corner of the CD case where the cellophane folds into a V shape.
The hooked section of the nail file goes right into that V'd area and slits the cellophane.

Now the top edge sticker i've found that by being patient and lifting the corner where it says "PULL" and easing the tape up along one side of the case first, lifting it up and over the top is easy.

I can do it in under a minute consistently. geek


GFam's tape trick is very slick. thumbs up!

no, but conversely, not everyone requires a team of scientists and hazmat suits to help contain their grampy panties when removing them.

no it's a good thing when summer rolls around and you put your annual fresh pair on.

well, i'll confess it frees me up to go down to the shore and push you back in the water when you've beached yourself again.
