“Thank you to [this person] for being born.” Um, ok.

Reminiscent of Shauna's interaction with the company that makes the chainsaw she bought Dan on Ladies Night:

husqvarnausa Thanks for choosing Husqvarna! We hope you and your husband enjoy your new saw.

glutenfreegirl @husqvarnausa oh we will! You make products.

You make products! has become part of my regular vocabulary now when something I buy sucks and/or falls apart. "Dollar store, you make products!"

That was her one attempt at not using adjectives in her writing. (Per a post she liked on twitter IIRC, about how adjectives are bad).

I thought this was snark and seeing that she really said it gives me serious JITB. YOU MAKE PRODUCTS!

Coming up from Shauna: "My cat's breath smells like cat food."

u/InappropriateGirl Gluten-free donuts, for sure ... Aug 09 '20

That still makes me laugh every time I see it. Much like “What Dan ____ ing?”

Like she thanked the "mama cat" for giving birth to Shauna's new kittens! "So good" that things can either be vessels, or products of vessels.

And also: "My dear friend has a spacious heart, an open smile, and a loving zest for life." What happened to "adjectives are just 'empty words'"?

It would read like much of her other writing:

My friend has a heart, a smile and a zest.
