I hated this commercial when I was a kid because doing the dishes was MY job, never my siblings', and I hated and resented it. I especially hated the smell of dish washing soap, and of course knew that the whole thing was bullshit. Thank goodness for dishwashers! I haven't done a dish in years.
When I was young, I thought that the commercial was real. That it was a good idea to soak your fingers in dishwashing detergent. Mom had to sit me down and explain that it was all hogwash.
How else are the advert writers gonna get in a good hand joke and then a good cuckoo joke?
But seriously, how those guys came up with 27 years of hand gags, it’s impressive when you think about it. I’m imagining plenty of FML moments in the staff room.
Can I ask a dumb question? I'm newish to Wonkette, and I've noticed that sometimes the Tabs headline has a matching article, and sometimes it doesn't. Like today, there's no article about 5 people who didn't win a Grammy. At least, not that I can see. Am I missing something? Thanks!
I adore Ms. Mitchell, local woman, because she is just so blunt about how awesome she is and calls bullshit on anyone who calls her immodest or suggests it’s unseemly. If you’re a living music legend and you wrote so many songs that you sleep on a giant pile of riches like Smaug and you boinked anyone worth boinking in the 60’s and 70’s…well, it ain’t bragging if it’s true.
Yesterday on Knowledge Fight, Dan had a clip of Alex Jones doing his RAWR AM VRY SERIUS thing concerning parents of trans kids, and immediately pivoting from that to "alright, I'm out of time" thereby, as Dan points out, invalidating the supposed fury of Alex's previous five or so minutes, and gosh, I don't know WHY that's coming to mind when I think of the GOP on the issue of border security. It's a mystery!
"Nikki Haley is having to seek Secret Service protection because of threats from people low enough to respect Donald Trump." at this point the secret service probably have a standard, pre filled form for that
PAB is in deep doo-doo - even deeper than we thought. His CFO, Allen Weisselberg, is in talks with DA. Alvin Bragg to admit to perjury. This caught the attention of Judge Engoron, who said that he needs to know more. In fact, he needs to know whether or not he should invoke the "if you lied about one thing, you lied about everything" judicial precept.
That would be EXTREMELY BAD for PAB. And not for just one reason, but for about 370,000,000 reasons.
OT: A federal Appeals Court gave Jack Smith a huge win in his arguments that a former POTUS can face charges from subversion of the 2020 election. I imagine Trump will now file at the SCOTUS and he will probably lose there as well.

Donald Trump is very sad about King Charles’s cancer, and also it looks like there’s ketchup caked on his caps lock and he can’t unstick it
To be far, Trump says everything at the top of his lungs out of his disgusting Big Mac hole so the Cap locks kind of makes sense for his “sympathy note” to King Charles. I have no doubt that’s exactly how loud he said it in person.
As @bradheath flags, the D.C. Circuit panel did *exactly* what we predicted on timing: Trump has until next Monday to ask #SCOTUS for a stay, otherwise the trial-court proceedings can resume.
So the Supreme Court will have to decide next week whether it’s going to intervene now:
If I'm the Supreme Court, I'm so tired of this asshole I just do that thing where they refuse to hear it so the appeals court decision stands (whatever that's called).
It may be the extra time the three judge panel took was to write an opinion the SCrOTUS could take and put on the books forever... or at least until someone less objectionable than PAB comes along to crime their way through the peznutsy.
You’re soaking in a hed gif Palmolive advert. The source details and a bit about actress Jan Miner here: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/madge-hand-shaming-for-over-a-quarter
Madge!
I hated this commercial when I was a kid because doing the dishes was MY job, never my siblings', and I hated and resented it. I especially hated the smell of dish washing soap, and of course knew that the whole thing was bullshit. Thank goodness for dishwashers! I haven't done a dish in years.
Oh Martini! This gif is amazing!
"Geez, that's a little rude" You're such a bitch Madge!
Through ingesting my daily dose of TABS, I'm thinking that Martini Ambassador is the best short form writer on the staff.
What a family! Madge the Manicurist was married to Mr. Charmin Squeezing Whipple and their daughter is Flo the Progressive Insurance Spokeslady!
Where do the Charmin Poop Bears fit in?
There having LeMu Emu over for dinner.
Clever, but an awful lot of Wonkette readers are betraying their age.
are you suggesting there's a problem with that?
:)
Madge! So polished.
Oh you!
File that one under "Brilliant!"
And I SWYD too! 😆
Once again, you nailed it.
ISWYDT 😆
I knew you would.
Alternative "you're soaking in it" :
https://www.discogs.com/release/2086760-Various-Youre-Soaking-In-It-Music-From-Philadelphia-NY
thought of that too---we're you in Philly back then?
Yup.
When I was young, I thought that the commercial was real. That it was a good idea to soak your fingers in dishwashing detergent. Mom had to sit me down and explain that it was all hogwash.
There were girls in our neighborhood soaking their hands in Palmolive.
I know my sister and I did it.
I always use dish soap when cleaning the hogs...
So did you try soaking your hands in hogwash?
Bacon grease. I was the best friend of all the neighborhood dogs.
Oh, I’m sure you weren’t the only kid that tried that.
We only bought Joy but I’m pretty sure I whined for Palmolive at the grocery store. I think those commercials were designed for preschoolers.
I wanted to try it!
"You ladies will have beautiful hands if you skip the salon and get to scrubbing some dishes. And make me a sammich while you're in there."
It was genius propaganda, that's a fact. Lol
I'll bet Taylor Swift NEVER washes dishes. If only someone would tell her she's missing her chance to be a REAL woman.
I'll bet her sammich making numbers are fairly low as well. Good. That's what I call progress. ❣️
She can't be a Ma'am cuz she doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me...
Tell me what can a poor girl do, but to play for an NFL team...
I love me some Madge. I like an Eve Arden-style wisecracking yet sympathetic dame!
Good one, 'Tini!
Wonderful, as always!,
A nail salon with my Grandma's cuckoo clock. Weird.

Wow, back then everyone was getting handsy at work. Like a whole world of Boeberts. 😁
I bet there was some "hand job" based ribaldry as it was getting late and they were facing a deadline.

I love love love her music even though her life in the 60s is so different than mine was.
Like Sci Fi to me. You can somehow still feel her songs strongly.
The chicken shawarma recipe is paywalled. Sad.

Today James O'Keefe had to publicly admit he and Project VeritASS lied about election fraud in Pennsylvania! It's a good day.

O,, well everything I clicked had a pay-wall...good times!

I am seriously questioning the bias of this man !!!
The worst time line? You’re soaking in it.

Well, KC can't hear him all the way across the ocean if he doesn't shout.
Biiiiiiig leeeegalz.
Unless I read this wrong, the appeals court upholds Chutkin, and the case is unstayed, for now.
Now pray that SCOTUS goes: GFY Trump.

It is quite possibly that they don't take this one.
I bet: they are angry enough they have to decide on the CO ballot thing, they don't have any interest in wasting their time with this crap here.
The legal term is STFD and STFU.
Ha ha!
