Today, I picked up a broken piece of seemingly velvety cactus to show my mom. I now have a million microscopic, painful splinters in my fingers. FML

OhHeySlogan tells us more.

I'm the OP. That's what I did and it worked. Haha I'm still finding a few stragglers though.

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Life can be a prick.

Put a thick layer of glue on your fingers and let it dry completely. After it's good and dry, peel the glue off and it should pull at least some of the splinters out. Also, call your doctor if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours.

132. That truely goes to shoe beauty is in the eye of the beholder because I have BF3 and I still enjoy play black ops a lot more. If you get put on a shitty team you're screwed! And the majority of the time that's what you gwt a bunch of douches running around and just dicking off. Flying is nearly impossible and yes I have tried other settings. Sometimes simplicity is better just hop on start killing people actually have fun doing it not having to worry about what all the other slackasses are doing, BUT being even more awesome if you all CHOSE to work together.

I just hope op has learned an important lesson. Things are not always as they appear to be.

Holy shit that is incredibly helpful.

I was gonna suggest the hair wax stuff girls use.

Oh.. Then I should've called the doctor a WHILE ago... Damn Viagra :/

I wish my mom'd had that idea when I was little and experienced the same thing.

The last time I checked, nature doesn't make cacti velvety.

Velvety cactus? You should have noticed something was wrong when you paired those two words together.

2- No... just no. There was no pun in that comment. It blows.

"Velvety" cactus or not, the op should have known better..
