Thread: Interesting contrast (or cinnamon advice)

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!

And that most talk about the notion of being caught up in the cartridge razor propaganda and hype where a new greater razor is introduced every so often while we communicate using a device that is practically obsolete when you buy it and is replaceable almost as fast.

And that we talk of and try to recreate the actions of posed gentlemen of yesteryear while we sit like socially inept weasels behind keyboards and monitors ---

And that we exclaim the macho manliness of using an exposed blade on our ubermasculine cheeks while we discuss in almost feminine detail the variations in feel of certain shaving brushes (please --not to rough on my pearly cheeks) and devastating condition of "sensitive and complicated skin".

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

No contrast We're just well rounded gentlemen. Even the samurai engaged in poetry in between killing people for looking at them wrongly.

By the way, Dora is SO yesterday. Backyardigans rule!!

But thats just me.

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.
