Well, if it was, he'd have a leg up once he has kids?

"A new father quickly learns that his child invariably comes to the bathroom at precisely the times when he's in there, as if he needed company. The only way for this father to be certain of bathroom privacy is to shave at the gas station." -Bill Cosby

Alright, lets put this "snurdler" business to rest once and for all. The origin, well before man knew he had intelligence (which has yet to show in the many posts I have read here ((and enjoy nevertheless))), was in the ateliers of the great pre Renaissance and Renaissance artists where to be an artist one had first to learn to be inventor, engineer, architect and business man if one was to be able to survive. It's humble and continued existence is that of a simple, round ended (generally for there are many variations) palette knife. I have at least 12 of different configurations for scooping, smearing, scraping and, if you must, snurdling. For use at my altar of saponification I use a highly sophisticated form altered over the years for the art of dentistry. Long narrow round rod with a narrow flat paddle at each end to avoid the cross mixing of the purity of said creams. I speak from many years in the studio painting my f--king brains out to no public acclaim thereby having to resort to paid employment till I could retire , join this esteem body of nidiots (spelling correct) and have the chance to vent my spleen (long removed at age seven) and wax eloquently on the state of the art, the fineness of hones, the size of my blade and other rashly important facts of life. I thank you and goodnight Mrs Calabash.

Razorfeld,

I truly feel you are holding back, Please let us know how you really feel about Snurdling

Dammit hidestoart, do you always have to be so succinct? Realize first that I am truly a self contained person, generally quiet most of the time. I can't help it if my fingers get the better of me and blather on and on and............................................... ....
