Foot Slick, Loogy Lube, Moose Juice —- are lubricant brands aimed to help you glide your foot into snug bindings. I brew my own. A little dish soap and water does the trick.

I sent S’man into the kitchen to refill our supply. “Look for the green stuff under the sink”, I asked, and he disappears on his mission. When he returns, the flask is full but uncharacteristically cloudy and ::hold on a second:: its HOT! The contents have gone off (some kind of chemical reaction). I ask “What the hey did you put in here? — Welllll, I’m not putting this stuff on my feet!”

The girls figured it out. He looked for the ‘green stuff’ as instructed allright. Happens that instead of the LIQUID JOY he poured in the CASCADE (green box) dishwashing detergent powder. Mixes a nasty cocktail.
