I found this very amusing when I moved in:
Hey, I’m just happy I have soap!
My landlord is super nice, though it is a bit amusing seeing my car with a Darwin fish parked right by his car with a Jesus fish. I pray to the FSM that this will not be a source of blogging material over the next year or so. I want to live in my Garden Gnome Cave in peace.
‘Things to pack: 1) Toilet paper 2) light bulbs 3) SOAP…’ The three things you’ll never find in a new apartment. You were lucky!
As long as he doesn’t get this sticker you should be fine:http://www.scienceblogs.de/dia…

I love Trader Joe’s and the fact that your landlord shops there is a good sign. Many of their names for foods and stuff are pretty silly plays on words and puns. Like right now I’m eating the “snaquarium of maritime morsels” on the back ” Trader Joes Ode tho a Sea Biscuit: Ah, Seahorse, turtle, and bright sea star, /Always near by, and never too far/ From my hand, that doth reach/ Into the Snaquarium–for a cookie from the beach.” The frosted octopus is the best of course!
Trader Joe’s is good stuff. If you have never shopped there I recommend you give them a try. As shac said,many of their product names are plays on words, puns or popular sayings . I actually got some of their “next to godliness” cleaner the other day.
i was looking for that on oldlutheran.com!
it’s the standard trader joe’s product — it has nothing to do with religion.i live in the place where trader joe’s started and if they took my wic checks, i don’t think i’d shop for anything anywhere else. their food is awesome, their stores are amusing, and their corporate uniform (even at headquarters) is the hawaiian shirt.
I always had a hard time buying Dr. Bronners for camping trips. How much proselytizing can you fit on one little label? Enjoy Trader Joe’s… I wish we had one here.
noice.
“Hey, I’m just happy I have soap!”I think *we’re* all happy that you have internet access. =)
I may be a bad person, but if I got that from someone I would have to get something like bondage gear or a sex toy of some sort and label it ‘cleanliness’ and accidentally leave it in plain sight if the landlord came over.
Don’t worry about the godly Trader Joe’s soap, Trader Joe’s is still the most awesome grocery store ever. Their shampoo is cheap and amazing, and their vitamin supplements are from a sub-brand called Trader Darwin. (It’s “survival of the fittest”, ie those who take vitamins, and you can nitpick about how wrong that is, but it’s sure as hell not fundy!) I do all my college apartment grocery shopping at trader joes.
