Ever have that one pesky person in your life who has an answer for everything? How to clean the windows better? How to avoid turning your whites pink? When to hang the laundry? Yes. One. Of. Those.
Maybe a mother-in-law who critiques and / or mocks your cooking in front of others?
This my friend; this is for you.
Invite that pesky do-gooder over for dinner. Maybe some pasta so it covers the bottom entirely?
Watch them as they quietly tell themselves how they would have made the sauce, presented the meal and wonder where you picked up your plain ol’ off white dinnerware. After all, they would have likely served in the good china.
Then suddenly it comes into view…
They look but don’t speak…
Shear terror crosses their face as they jump from the table clutching their mouth and spitting their dinner into their hand.
Maybe even a single tear falls – you know the one. It creeps out only when one experiences a hell of a scare.
What you don’t have that? Oh. Well. Ahem. Carry on.
I am smiling now just at the thought of scaring the utter CRAP outta someone with these plates.
Mine? Mine would have to have a rat.
Now I think I have to start my Christmas shopping….

I want them! The problem is, I can come up with a list of at least 25 people I’d invite to such a dinner party. Ordering enough plates could get expensive…

This is a thing of beauty…I must have an entire service for 12….hehehehehe

I would probably die if I discovered that under my meal, either from sheer terror or uncontrollable vomiting. Roaches are horrible. That is all.

Oh that is just wrong in so many ways….

I may have just thrown up a little in my mouth. Gag…dry heave…

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I have to know if you’re title has anything to do with this silly thing we said when we were kids:
“What are you eating under there?”
“Under where?”
“Ooooooh! You’re eating underwear?”
Because my husband thinks it’s the dumbest thing he ever heard and that i made it up, and I thought, just maybe, you knew it, too.
And if not, then excuse me for being a dumbass.

I hate cockroaches, but I think this bowl is completely awesome!
August 13th, 2009 at 8:42 am
And there’s a matching mug and small pedestal dish available as well.
I’m so tempted…

they have obviously never lived somewhere where they had to deal with these, or they never would have dreamed of creating and selling this *shivers* *throws up a little in my mouth*

Those are the best plates EVER!!!!! I have a co-worker that needs to be knocked down a few pegs (like a hundred or so) & these plates should totally work!
Hope no one wants to use these on me! hee hee

I think a coffee cup with one of those brown devils in the bottom of it would be priceless – almost as priceless as the look on certain peoples face when they took their last sip.
One time I was drinking coffee in the dark and there was a fly in it. It end up in my mouth. It wasn’t too bad, kind of crunchy…..

What a great idea! That would be priceless.
(PS. Her stuff is great too!)
