How did you clear the paper employees of guilt? If I were you, I'd check again. Some of those employees have mighty short fingernails, you know.

Well I can agree with that fact. I first suspected one that is OCD. I will call her Fessa to protect her identiy. She passed the cross examination by pointing out with her OCD freakishness she would never use anyone elses nail clipers without first boiling them. She did destroy something else while she visited and she will pay for that. Even if it was a free paper vengence will be mine. I also suspected another agent of the Herald, lets call her Floria. I could not come up with a motive except to garner my attention though and since all I do is write manic love peoms and dream of her fighting from horseback I deducted she was not involved. Also she would have had to break in while I was not home to do it. No other agents of the Herald would have motive and have credible stories they were not in the area.

Maybe some of our bloggers needed them to shorten some of the vicious claws they keep extended. Kinds of hard to type with those cat claws out there, ready to rake.

Perhaps McCain took them. He had motive, his nails were unsightly. With all the in camp bickering, Palin wouldn't let him use hers. So it stands to reason that McCain saw them and took them. He could be just borrowing them. McCain is coming back to Georgia to campaign for Saxby, he could be planning on returning them then. Don't worry, give McCain a chance, and I'm sure your nail clippers will show back up.

It's doubtful a man who allows his nails to go unsightly would steal nail clippers. Nah, McCain didn't do it.

Now, Obama keeps his nails clean and trim... and possibly he misplaced his and while chilling with gwarfan, kicking back to listen to some gwar tunes, he surreptitiously borrowed them and by habit slipped them into his pocket.....

Anybody knows men don't care t hat much about nails. It was Sarah Palin and you need to explain what she was doing in your house gwarfan.

You raised some good points about why McCain didn't do it and why Obama could be suspected, but Gwarfan already cleared him.

I wonder if maybe it could be some sophisticated bunnies. I know with my bunny, Cynthia, her nails grow awfully fast and she is constantly in the need for a good trim. I doubt it was her because we have plenty of nail clippers laying about on our coffee table, but some bunnies without homes or ready access to nail clippers would definitely have motive for stealing them. Dust bunnies could have aided in the caper by removing them from Gwarfan's home and leaving them outside for the bunnies with nails to come pick up.

Maybe Palin was a bunny in disguise.

Perhaps Gwarfan used them after imbibing several Guinness on the night of Obama's victory, and has since forgotten where he placed them?

GWAR, were those the shiney things on your table at Club Zone celebrating BO's victory? These shiney things were left there,,

Mmmm since the mention of Dust Bunnies, I'm not one for harming any sort of animal, ok will maybe some...But I for one will kill (if I can catch them) Dust Bunnies in my house! I have set Dust Bunnies traps, they don't work! Funny looking things too by the way, made by Procter & Gamble or was it Johnson & Johnson?

My house is filled with feather bunnies. They are like dust bunnies, but prettier. I catch them when I can, but they always come back in greater numbers. I try sweeping them, but they just spread out and multiply even more. I wonder if Procter and Gamble makes feather bunny traps, and if they are any more effective than dust bunny traps.

and now I know who MR & Ms. Tripp N. rweally are...you all are trippin'

Gwarfan, thank you for breaking the monotony of the usual blogs with this creative writing! Be sure to wash with lots of soap so no bacteria forms under your long nails.

(Has anyone noticed waitresses, nurses, other help personnel with long nails?? ugh. Where is our Health Dept when we need them?) (For that matter, where is our beloved FLY?)
