Plasticscourgery
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: plas tik skur jury
Sentence: Sheldon loved to be the first in line every Tuesday to get the latest DVD releases of his favourite movies.

No matter what he used, be it fingernails or sheer brute strength, his wrestle with the clear plastic covers usually took longer than what it took to watch the entire movie and trailers. It was SARANdipitous that one day while walking to the video store, he chanced by a garage sale. His keen eye spotted the perfect tool to help him cut through to his precious movies. For his plasticscourgery, Sheldon bought a second-hand scalpel for $2 and now looked forward once again to DVD Tuesdays!
