I went to the paint store to get a pint of paint and a brush.  Turns out the store won't sell less than a quart any more.  Wtf is this?  It's like I have to buy a whole cow when I want a glass of milk.  

Alright, so seventeen dollars later, I have a freshly painted DVD case and way too much paint left over.  

For a while, I felt cheated and later realized I had an asset.  My kitchen cabinets hadn't gotten a fresh coat of paint since Adam got kicked out of Eden.  Sure, the walls, ceilings and moldings get done every five years.  The cabinets?  It's like, who ever cared?  Okay... now the cabinets have a new look that matches one piece of furniture.

Problem solved.

Did you clean and prime the cabinets first? Nicotine bleeds through paint like water on a drop ceiling.

They're metal cabinets.  Half a cup of bleach in a gallon of water.  Then, use thick terry rags to repeatedly wash down the surfaces. Let dry, then add the first coat.  Wait a day to put on the second and third coat.

hey you know what? why don't paint stores sell paint by the spoonful instead? are you even sure you went to a paint store? are you sure it wasn't a paint aisle in a hardware store?

Paint, brushes, rollers, drop cloths, edging tape, roller pans and other things along those lines are all they sell.  No hardware, cooking supplies or outboard engines.  Not even energy drinks.

They used to sell pints for small projects, but I guess there isn't enough money it these days.

I'm sure most people would rather discard and replace furniture than paint it.  What a waste.

You’ll ruin it.

I did the same in my mother's kitchen twelve years ago and it still looks like it was just done today.  No peeling, fading or stain bleed.  

In a kitchen, stain bleed is a lot more about grease than nicotine.  For every piece of bacon fried, there's that oily vapor that just sticks to everything.  The bleachy water removes that.

do you two sit across the room from each other and carry on an irl conversation whilst also hashing stuff out on here? because that's how i picture your situation in this moment.

She’s sitting about 8 feet away from me right now. So, kinda. But we don’t discuss out loud too much of what’s going on. We just type and fuck off. Right now, she just logged off and is stealing my GODDAMN candy. 🤣

You have an advantage. My wife is on this site. She’s already seen the plan. Haha! This will take the ultimate strategy. (She will see this too). I am DOOMED for failure.

just tell her it's for science. and then run like the wind blows.

Haha! I’m slower than snails humping. She would catch me. I have no advantage, unless I make the kids do it. The kids could totally make a bullshit request and I could film it from a safe distance.

Why waste money painting a DVD case. Blu-ray is clearly the way to go these days. 

Or Roku.  I have a Blu-ray and a region free dvd player.  Roku is a thing I might get later.  Somebody local is now offering totally wireless high speed internet.  No cable, phone line or fiber optics required and it works with any tablet or laptop.  But first, I'm buying a new laptop.

Most places offer 8 oz sample sized paints.  He's just a colossal dumbfuck.

I just know what the man in the paint store said.  I'm not traveling out of town to get a smaller can and I simply don't give a burp in Hell what "most" paint stores are doing.  I have to deal with what's in front of me and if you think that makes me a "dumb fuck", you seriously have a lot of growing up to do.

The paint store guy thinks you're a dumb piece of shit.

WHY DID YOU PAINT A DVD CASE? AND WHY ISNT ANYONE ELSE ASKING THIS QUESTION?

I was going to because when I hear DVD case I think those booklet thingies with the plastic inserts but I really didn't even want to get into it since he's too dumb to know what he actually painted.
