The Very Important Candle News Thread

[Channel98]

Mister JHDK, are you aware that the first candle-making company was established in 1358 in London and was granted a Royal Charter by King Richard III in 1484? See? I'm not always sarcastic. Sometimes I'm informative.

You like waxing nostalgic.

That reminds me of a scene in the Marx Brothers' 1932 movie Horse Feathers. Groucho plays the president of a college. His secretary tells him, "The Dean is furious. He's waxing wroth." ("Wroth" is an archaic word meaning "extremely angry.") Groucho replies, "Is Roth out there too? Tell Roth to wax the Dean for a while."

And now, for your amazement and amusement, here is a strangely-named candle:

Candle workers are the backbone of our society. This is no laughing matter you two.

Don't forget Scotch!

Mister JHDK, may I say that the former employees of this candle factory are feeling burned right now? No, maybe I shouldn't say that. It's dumb.

That's devastating news.

Another good candle factory blown out.

That's devastating news.

Another good candle factory blown out.

It's going to cause major candle price inflation.

It might create an opportunity for some industrious candle devotee in Florida to start his own candle company.

Just starter her.

I have many hours of good times ahead.

Does it smell like Gwyneth Pawtrow's beach?

Does it smell like Gwyneth Pawtrow's beach?

When I first saw it I said, what the hell could this smell like? It's kind of like suntan lotion and salt air. No dog poop smell.

 

[HecticArt]

I thought it might smell like wet dog and seaweed.

I haven't decided if I'm talking about the beach candle or Gwyneth's vagina.

I haven't decided if I'm talking about my porch or Gwyneth's vagina.

Too much?

Fuck guys, I'm a thief. I did it again. I think I told you all Abt eggs I accidentally stole like 2 years ago or something but today when I left Walmart and was loading the rav I realized that the 2 candles I put in my cart I forgot to scan. So I stole $14 worth of candles.

Stolen candles always smell sweeter. Haha.

Now the theft was a mistake...not going back into the store to pay for them is on me...but I was parked really far away. Hah.

I believe the penalty for stealing a pair of candles is two wicks in the county jail.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

They should fire the cashier who forgot to scan them.

Aren't you on probation or something?
