RIT Dye

Ah yes, the RIT dying parties.  Your rollerblader might have discovered the wonder of dying his skates and skate parts.  This can quickly turn into a RIT party.  Dangerous in the fact that you have boiling water, drunken skaters and permanent dye… a lethal mixture... all running loose in your house  So, it is likely that you will experience one of these parties at some point in time.  They will all get together and dye wheels, boots, cuffs, frames etc.  I thought that they bought certain skates because of the color not inspite of the color, but hey… what do I know?  There is a reason that I am only the girlfriend of a rollerblader.  The one that makes sure there is a cheap, enormous stock pot, one whose sole purpose is for the RIT party.

Regardless, what will end up happening is drunken rollerbladers up all night making a royal mess that only they are capable of making.  You will get up in the morning to go to work and find newspaper soaking wet with dye and skate parts on top of this paper.  These things will be stuck to your stove. You may also find your sink or strainer is full of wheels.  In addition to that little mess, you will find RIT dye EVERYWHERE.  I am talking on the floor, all over the counter, the ceiling anywhere you can think of you will find tiny colored spots scattered.  The fun part is, you spend a little bit of time before work doing a some cleaning and feel pretty impressed that with a little bleach you have saved your kitchen.  Just wait.  For the next month you will find the tiniest spots in the most random of places and regardless of how thorough you think you were, there will be more.
