Scrounge: I never quite got how candles could be relaxing in the first place. Open flame doesn't exactly strike me as soothing.
Tabby: Enh, they're next to a large tub of water. The danger is minimal. Not that I find the idea all that appealing myself.
Kizor: You don't? I can very easily see how candelight casts a soothing, moody glow very much unlike that of electric light. (Only serves to prove that I'm a defective male. That's been clear even since I got great grades from the man-eating feminist linguist in high school.)
Tulling: Though I have never encountered them myself, there are apparently candles designed to give off certain smells or scents while they are burning. Some might find such a thing relaxing.
Duckluck: Do we have something for how they never just light a couple candles like any sane person would, and instead opt to have about two dozen huge wax ones that would pose an obvious fire hazard? If we do (and I just couldn't find it), we should link it here. If we don't, we need to give it an entry and then link it here.
Lale: You've never encountered scented candles? What other kind is there?
Scrounge: You've never encountered birthday cake, Lale? :) Anyways, yeah, Duckluck's said what I was driving at... There's like ten thousand candles, it's a miracle the house doesn't catch ablaze before whirver forgot the "no nudity" clause in their contract can even get in the tub. Or maybe I'm just a pyrophobe. ^_^;
Phartman: I think his point is you can't usually find regular, unscented candles without having to move at least a dozen scented ones out of the way first.
Well anyway, Candlelit Baths don't always have to end in death, remember The Big Lebowski?
- That didn't end up very relaxing in the end.
How do this comic
and the last panel of this one fit in? —Document N
fleb: I'd call that something new and different, like Me Time. The thing that maternal types have in such short supply.
