It's actually even more poignant than you might think, because the crinkly fun tunnel apparently belonged to a beloved cat called Bilbo, who is now sadly deceased.
I know, it's terribly infantile, but I couldn't let a phrase like 'crinkly fun tunnel' go unremarked upon. The 'hardly used' was just the icing on the cake.
Ah - the tunnel. How many of us have a mouldy smelling tunnel thingy from IKEA stashed away in the back of the coat cupboard? Mouldy because despite having invested in two tunnels, one for outside, the other for indoors, both have been taken outside at some point and just left in the rain.....
No. I really couldn't possibly comment.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you apologising? Is it yours?
ReplyDeleteHardly used? That's so sad - no wonder it's crinkly.
ReplyDeleteSometimes on freecycle you can spot posters who really should get together. This one might require a whole other website.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Marsha — this is terribly poignant.
ReplyDeleteMy former boyfriend used to feel sorry for socks that came out of the wash without their mates, too...

ReplyDeleteIt's terribly sad, really.
I trust the cat has been stuffed and mounted.
ReplyDeleteOh its one of those cat things. I was worried.

ReplyDeleteAh. No word of wrinkly fun tunnels anywhere?
ReplyDeleteChristopher, when is a crinkle not a wrinkle?

Tim: Wrinkly I may be, by Fate's dour hand and snell intent, but crinkly never.
ReplyDeleteMick Jagger: These aren't wrinkles, they're laughter lines.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Melly: Nothing's *that* funny.
Noel Edmonds had a crinkly bottom...
ReplyDeletePoldark...mmmm.
I note that since Noel Edmonds's Crinkly Bottom was mentioned - more than two days ago - there have been no further comments....
ReplyDeletePlease tell me I am not the only one to survive that thought?
