    We're gonna make Obie post a bond and whoever he enables, well the bond will go to subsidize the purchase.

    Oh, dear, dear, now I must consider selling my Lamborghini to build my bond stash.

    No need to dump the Lambo yet Obie... Maybe just rent out some of your beach front property. Personally I would settle for some of Benji's corned beef and some Lox/bagel's!!!!

    Hello, Paul,
    You have a point there with my beachfront property. I suppose I can consider the one on the French Riviera.
    As for Benji's corned beef, count me in. By the way, for those unfamiliar with Benji's corned beef, that's an eatery in Milwaukee known for its corned beef sandwich.
    Stay well, Paul.

    Ok, which one is French Lavender and which one is Vetiver: savon a raser, rasage, saonnerie. There's 7 soaps there, one is unscented, that much I understood.

    My good friend Obie is correct. Indeed, MDC's vetvyer is a great, long-lasting masculine fragrance. I have a bottle and use it on special occasions--along with my Martin De Candre shaving soap

    Whiskeypete,
    From what little I know of French, Savon a raser means "shaving soap." Rasage means "shaving." Saonnerie means "soap factory." Now, my friend, I could be wrong on all this. We need French speaking gentlemen to come to the rescue.

    I agree. A check of my English-French dictionary confirms Obie's translation.

    The French for Lavender is "Lavande."
