holiday shimmer stuff
Item:
A bottle of Holiday Shimmer, uh, stuff. “Cucumber Melon” flavor.
Why It’s Here:
Prior owner couldn’t tell what this stuff was for. Is it shampoo? Body wash? Hair cream? It has sort of a viscous look to it in the photo, but isn’t that a hairspray nozzle at the top?
It looks like some wacky mutant freak toiletry, to me. I should probably ask my wife.
Probable Recipient:
A girl. Just—I’m just putting it out there. Okay?
Cucumber Melon Body Stuff:
Because your skin and/or hair deserves a mix of fruits and vegetables.

There’s a weird sense of implicit doom in that terminating ellipses.

There are a weird sense of subject-verb disagreement in your sentence. Perhaps you were rather bothered by the ellipsis? — perhaps because, as it terminates a sentence, it ought to have four periods rather than only three?

In my defense, I didn’t cross root languages altogether and try “ellipsata” or some such.
As for the period following a sentence-terminal ellipsis—is that really how it’s done? Seems a crime.

I had a friend whose geometry teacher in high school called a polyhedron ‘a polyhedra’, with the natural consequence that several of those objects become ‘polyhedras’. Then, of course, there is that favourite back-formation ‘vertice’.

High five, Jade! Always insist on FOUR dots for sentence-terminal ellipsis.
Vertice reminds me of when I saw that new Keanu Reeves movie in France - La Matrice! No, I don’t recall when the French subtitle for “woah” is, offhand.
