The sunscreen blot looks a little like a squirrel run over by a paving machine.
The sunscreen blot looks like the skeletal remains of Owen after he caught on fire from episode 315.
I think it looks like Daddy Clay wiped his face with the paper after Daddy Troy shot him with the stream of sunscreen from across the room.
We really like the site with my husband liking the GearDaddy portion while I like the the Lab and Lounge portions moreso. We like all the exposure to different products that we most likely wouldn't know about (our refusal to watch tv being a factor) and believe Daddy Troy to be very professional and informative in his segments. It helps us figure out what products we'd like to use for our little boy.
But the blot test...hmm. My husband says a Hindu sage. I say it looks a little like the face huggers from Alien. Or the zombie like things from Zelda that would screech and then jump on you as you were frozen. -.-
The spray bottle seems like it would come in handy to get the kid if they are running away from you. Just as long as you were aiming at their back. ^^
I was surprised that the segment didn't include details regarding sunscreen longevity -- both in terms of expiration dates (that bottle you've had since college may not be as effective now) and in terms of reapplication. It would be helpful to know "Brand X requires you to reapply every 2hr or every 1hr if you're in the water; but Brand Y requires you to reapply every 30 minutes and every 10 minutes if you've been in the water".
Also, no "Gear Daddy Seal of Approval" this week?
And the Rorschach test looks like you pressed the paper up against the right side of someone's sunblock-gooped face and folded in half.
OMG-It looks like my hip bones during childbirth. Yikes...make the image go away!
Love the episode. I was planning on getting some more sunscreen for my 17 month old & I think now I'll go with the spray version since trying to get him to stay still for a milisecond is a task I have not yet mastered! That spray may give me the chance to "shoot" him while he's wiggling around.
That looks like the fly my son stepped on yesterday... Yuck!
I think it looks like the two of those birdlike creatures from "The Dark Crystal" having a conversation over coffee.
The ink blot test...or should we say sun block test looks like a cat's face if you were to hit it in the face with a bottle of sunsreen. However, if to do that, you should run very quickly.
The blot reminds me of the album cover art of 'Bones From The Yard' by the Dennis Dunaway Project - seriously - google it.
I know this may sound weird, but it looks like a vagina!
I was going to say it looks liks hips, but someone took that.
We did research on sunscreen last year and found that you should really not keep sunscreen from summer to summer. Something about being a much better product if you replace it yearly.
We use the misting stuff for our 11 month old. We spray for shoulders down. Se then spray a "puddle" into our hand and apply to her face.
Okay, another stab at the blot: if you flip your screen, it looks very much like a birds face.
That is clearly an x-ray of my wife's pelvic section done in sunscreen art. Although cool, how did you get a copy of her x-ray?
