My appliances have been screwing with my head
My white toaster has a black cord. My black blender has a white cord. Naturally, when I want to plug in the white toaster, I plug in the white cord, and when I want to plug in the black blender, I plug in the black cord. Then I stand there stupidly staring at the appliance, wondering why it doesn't work, until all my appliances start making fun of me

:(

1. My red toaster has a black cord.
My white George Foreman grill has a black cord. They all have black cords. That just makes it worse.

4. You need to watch this movie
Pulse }(

7. I've never understood black cords. They stand out too much.
If cords only come in black or white, they should all be white. Lots of people have white or light colored walls. I only saw black walls once in my life, and I won't repeat that story.

Black cords are just ugly.

10. NO, you are wrong. All of my cords are black. All my appliances are stainless steel/black.
I only allow white cords in the bathroom. Nowhere else.

:)

:hi:

15. Too skeert to watch. Is it like Caltiki? I saw that thing on WEIRD one night and was terrified.
You're probably not old enough to have seen that but it used to be on TV in Houston back in the late fifties and early sixties. Came on late at night and that thing, it was... Oooh.

Probably wouldn't affect me now, but I was a kid. I remember turning it off before it was over and begging my big sister to turn it back on! I didn't want to touch the TV. I thought that stuff was gonna come up from under the furniture and get me. Yowsa!
