I was shaving my face today with that manliest of instruments, the straight razor. Now, this item may conjure visions of men who like the smell of napalm in the morning, but I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that the same crowd also engages in heated debate on topics such as which soap has the nicest lavender scent. To top it off, I wiped the blood from a weeper with the only face cloth I could find this morning, a 'Dora the Explorer' terrycloth hand puppet. See the contrasts?... - J
Add that to the fact that we talk about and promote 1800's and earlier technology on a modern computer. I would say that is one of the biggest contrasts!Quote:

No I've never thought about it, what contrast? ;)

Sorry for the disturbing images. I thought everyone knew about this.
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was loosely based on Edward Gein.
Yeth. I thought everyone know about Ed Gein. Huh huh, a great big fat women's suit.

Thanks for the information. I guess I lead a sheltered life.
You know, I think I would have a lot better about this whole thing without having read this thread. Oh well, at least I can go kill stuff now... Where's Rich at on this whole thing? At least he can talk about commando shaving, which I daresay most of us will not even entertain the idea.
After reading this thread I wanted to put my pants on....LOL
:OTI have always had hope for America.Quote:

So,Steve, when I read this post it gave me greater hope for America. It shows me that not everyone has been touched by the ugliness that a small percentage of us perpetrate!
Thank you and God bless us all.
