My Toothbrush
Here I go, breaking the rules again by showing not one toothbrush, but two. These little guys once cleaned my kids' teeth. When they had fulfilled their duty, they became mine. Not for my teeth (ew!), but to polish the solder on my stained glass after I apply some super fine wax. Here they sit on my workbench waiting for some action after way too long of a break. I think that I hear them calling me...yep, time to ditch the camera and pick up the soldering iron!
If you want to be bristled, check out their brushes:
What would we ever do without these terrific little tools? I'm glad we don't have to find out~
ReplyDeleteMe too! OF course kids would be happy to live without toothbrushes.
DeleteYour toothbrush does not have spinny heads or rubber spiney things. I am embarrassed for you. Sorry.
ReplyDelete;)
Fear not. Mine has whistles and bells - makes the Justin Bieber singing toothbrush cower in fear.
DeleteThose are some very pretty toothbrushes, LM! I am very happy they don't clean anyone's teeth anymore, though...
ReplyDeleteOne of them even has dinosaurs on the handle!!! Bonus!!!
DeleteI think you should be kicked out of the meme for this. ;)
ReplyDeleteplease. nude looms...

DeleteI'm going full Monty!
DeleteWho's with me!?
Imagine. A use for a toothbrush after they've cleaned teeth. Who would have thought!
ReplyDeleteMore fun than cleaning a toilet!
Deletei was wondering for a minute there why you kept your toothbrushes on your workbench with other tools that typically don't go in the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteYou should know by now that I'm just weird that way!
DeleteI use my old brushes for getting into those hard-to-reach areas that get all gritty. At least yours have passed on to a higher calling than mine.
ReplyDeleteUm, please tell me that your hard to reach places are somehow related to your house or car...
DeleteI want a soldering iron! Except I have absolutely no use for one.
ReplyDeleteI can't do anymore toothbrushes. Is it just me or is this starting to get a little creepy?
It is totally creepy -thus why I took a shot of these rather than the one I put in my mouth.
DeleteIt's not creepy! What's wrong with you people?
DeleteToothbrushes are so versatile, aren't they? Cool that you are a stained glass artist, by the way! My favorite toothbrush story is the pissed off wife who cleaned the toilet with her husband's toothbrush, rinsed it off and put it back where it belonged for her husband to use.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think MikeWJ's wife uses to clean theirs?
DeleteTrue story: That was Pat Boone's wife.
DeleteMy wife uses a toilet brush.
I think.
Ew.
Those toothbrushes look like they've received quite a workout. How did you get your kids to brush so regularly?
ReplyDeleteThey didn't - that's why they still had use for me.
DeleteVery cool! I use the old ones for cleaning grout, etc.
ReplyDeleteYou clean your grout??? Will you come demonstrate your technique for me? I'm pretty slow - so it might take a couple of bathrooms for the demonstrations to make sense. Thanks.
DeleteThe good ol' recyclable toothbrush. Great for cleaning stained glass, grout, the barrel of the gun I'm going to shoot BonyMike with for coming up with this crazy theme, etc.
ReplyDelete;-)
Interesting. I use one to brush 'rocks' at the local climbing wall. I also use one to get the dirt out of the grooves of my BMW's tires...(kidding, I don't own and am unlikely to own a BMW)
Delete00dozo - we aren't shooting Mike. We are sending him a toothbrush so that he can poke himself in the eye. Because that's what he could do. Poke his eye out.
DeleteMo - You could have stopped before the parenthetical comment, you know... We can dream...
This was the greatest theme of all the themes. Look at how passion it's sparked. The lively discussion is wonderful.
DeleteAnd its birds, not toothbrushes, that poke our eyes out. Damn birds. Did you notice they don't have teeth? No teeth, no brushing. That's not a coincidence.
Hey, I often sit on my workbench and wait for some action, too. Not with a soldering iron, though. That's way too hot.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever get any?
DeleteI was trying to figure out your bathroom "wallpaper" then I read your post and figured out that that wasn't your bathroom. I'm feeling a bit slow today.
ReplyDeletePegboard might be cool in a bathroom!
DeleteYup! Toothbrushes are great for more than brushing teeth! What a great shot!
ReplyDeletethanks for clearing up that you don't use them on your teeth!!! I was going to suggest a replacement anyway, that blue one's bristles look like they need a retread!!
ReplyDeleteW.C.C.
Cool photo. I was grateful to discover you do not use these to brush your teeth. :)
ReplyDeletetoothbrushes are AWESOME for cleaning!
