Why there are deoderants and anti-perspirant/deoderants. Does the person who buys the deoderant without anti-perspirant have the thought cycle of:

"Let's see here, I really don't want to smell bad, but I don't mind having huge, colored sweat stains on the under-arms of my white shirts. Deoderant or anti-perspirant/deoderant? Gotta go with the deoderant."

I was once at a used clothing store and one of the employees had implanted a large (about 5 inches across) thick metal ankh under his skin but above his super-sternal notch and wore his shirt so everyone could see. I'd look for a picture, but I might throw up.

The appeal of the Pirates of The Carribean movies. Talk about a snoozefest. Were these action movies? There's nothing going on in any of them. I saw 1 + 3. The first one was 50 minutes too long.

hmm. i guess i would say i don't understand the appeal. i will give you that there are SOME breeds of small dog that, while i am not into them myself, i can understand why people like... but there are many other breeds where its BOTH. i don't like them AND i don't get people. case in point: chihuahuas. that's why i posted that picture; its always the first "what the fuck?" breed that pops into my mind. i see ZERO advantages to owning a chihuahua, AND they're EXPENSIVE!

True but liking a little yappy rat dog with a brain the size of a raisin is akin to liking pineapple-peanut butter-pickle iced cream - it's not exactly an indicator of great judgement or taste (though I am a little envious that people like Paris can stuff their dog in their purse and get on a plane without buying a special ticket, having to schlep a travel crate around, and then sticking your dog in the cargo area).

bguirk, you haven't seen body mods until you've seen the guys who have their penis split in half along the bottom.

I've seen it--fucking disgusting. I'm having a personal debate at the moment as to what is more aggressive--the genital piercing that presumably only people you're in sexual contact will see (and the dude at the next urinal over) or the disgusting under the skin ankh that you shove in everyone's face while you work retail. They both involve minor surgery.

i think if we've learned anything from our beloved show, its that this is not a cognitive process. NO ONE really seems to "understand" this. drew said (many many hundreds of times over the years) that its a mysterious part of human evolution; why are our adult brains so intrinsically and fiercely attracted to that which is traumatic to us as children?

I think it's like name recognition in an election. Because it is always there subconsciously, things that resemble childhood memories, traumatic or otherwise, are immediately appealing because they are familiar.

I leave the stickers on my wastebaskets and laundry baskets, and I can TELL you why: Those fucking things are stuck on with some sort of industrial-strength adhesive, which makes it virtually IMPOSSIBLE to pull them off in one piece. When you TRY to peel them off, they shred into a bazillion tiny shreds. It's just EASIER (and far less messy) to just LEAVE them there.

It bothers ME when men mistakes TAMPONS for PADS and I'll tell you WHY: because TAMPONS are INSERTED and shaped like a CHAPSTICK whereas PADS are basically the CROTCH part of a DIAPER and STICK to your PANTIES. It's a pretty IMPORTANT difference.

In fairness, I am also currently living with three beagles which are about as close as I'd care to come to the rat dog (but they're actually remarkably tame and laid back when there aren't new people around or dogs barking outside).

It's ridiculous. Why are parents letting their kids get these haircuts? They aren't attractive or cool. They're just stupid!

Why are they encouraging them to be obnoxious little punks? Kids are only cute for a short time! Why on Earth do they turn them into snot-nosed brats on purpose? They're going to be teenagers soon and there will be more than enough time to enjoy them as disrespectful little shits.

It seems like one of those stupid ideas that parents have to make their kid "stand out". But the same parents wouldn't smear shoe polish on their kid's face just to make them "stand out", because that would be racist AND stupid. Well, it wouldn't be racist if it was a black kid, but still. It's like when people put apostrophes in their kid's name.
