He has eaten a fat ball

And complained to me that it was a bit greasy.

Sigh

the fuckwit has eaten the fatballs made by the children in a park last week and left in the fridge to solidify.

I have no idea what culinary delight he thought they were supposed to be.

I wouldn't mind but he was there when they made them!

I'm weeping with laughter, fortunately already in spare room to escape DH's snores.

NoArmani, fatballs are generally made to feed wild birds. You aggregate leftover fats (eg, from the grillpan) with bought seeds, shape into balls, add a string so you can hang it... Very Blue Peter. There are arguments that fatballs can kinda "glue" a bird's mouth, but I'm not sufficiently familiar with them to reiterate.

Fatballs are never intended for human consumption. Grin

Am also on nightshift and am sniggering away...

Laughing so hard I snorted and woke the baby!
So he took a bite, thought "hmm these are very greasy" and just carried on eating anyway?!?!?!?? What the hell did he think the string was for? Confused (tell me he ate that too Grin)

Update is he is fine.

Not a bother on him.

He must have the Constitution of a donkey!

A very very stupid donkey.

I will ask him what he thought the string was for and amaze you with his reply when we have sorted the morning out.

Reading this thread has brightened my day after being up since 2am with a teething, snotty baby! Thank you

Northernlurker · 06/03/2014 07:53

I can see why we have all flocked to this thread. I fear you are not out of the nesting box yet OP. Your dh may yet come home to roost unwell and have to perch for some time in the bathroom.

MissMalonex2 · 06/03/2014 07:55

Reading this in train to work, snorting and in tears. Shock Think there will be more to this story - not enough time for the fatball to have worked his way through his system yet

MothershipG · 06/03/2014 07:55

This made me shake with laughter so much the dog trying to sleep on my lap is giving me filthy looks! Grin

It really needs to be in classics.
