“More schmutz”

November 12th, 2004 · No Comments

Frank is sitting in the dining room chair, getting lit for the camera.

“More schmutz,” says Guy. Schmutz turns out to be two pieces of
waxy-looking paper he hangs in front of a light that is shining on
Frank.

“Why is that schmutz?” I ask.

“That’s just what we call it,” says Guy. “The real name, the brand name for it, is actually Opal.”

Something with a pretty name like Opal gets nicknamed “schmutz”? It must be a guy thing, Definitely, a guy thing.
