Completely Random Thoughts

[Quantum Vagina]

Last week my face decided that it was going to be really crappy and give me a ton of razor burn. I figured if I let it grow until today, it'd be in a state where the razor burn was gone and I could shave again. I was right, and I'm really glad I was. For some reason, being unable to shave for several days REALLY made me uncomfortable. I also decided to take some precautions to attempt to alleviate the possibility of razor burn. I got some exfoliating cream, and scrubbed my face in the shower. I also shaved right after the shower, because the steamy room is helpful for that. My normal shaving habit is once with the grain, rinse, and then once against. Normally, I can handle that without any problems, but I decided to be careful today and go with twice with the grain, short strokes. It's not QUITE as smooth, but it's close. I feel MUCH better without the stubble, too.

My Mom asked me what a Douche Bag was and this was the best I could do.



Any other examples.

Did your mom proceed to ask for a douchebag for Christmas?

So, fake your way through life.  Sounds awesome.

I do that a lot.. Seems to work most of the time

So, fake your way through life.  Sounds awesome.

Except cognative adjustment (essentially faking it) actually has a lot of evidence behind it and does indeed have an effect.

Question for Brits on the boards:

Do calendars in the UK have the days ordered on them "Mon - Sun", rather than the "Sun - Sat" we have in the US?

I was looking at this calendar (not available here, apparently), and that's how it would seem.

[Tripe]

Not as a matter of course in my experience.

Thank you.  I know across the pond the order for dates is different (specific day's date, month, year rather than Month day/date, year), didn't know if this was also done.  [Although I should've known better : most of the calendars I buy are apparently for full-globe consumption, with other countries' holidays on them, and all have Sunday first.  (Still not thinking well yet.)]

I wonder why this one would be different? [rhetorical, unless someone knows]  Because it seems there'd be no reason to color in Friday and Saturday, so I presumed they'd moved Sunday to the end on this one.  [The pic was too small to read the day names.]  If that's the case, I think it'd confuse the heck out of 99% of people (and certainly would make it inappropriate for a kid who might be just learning how to read calendars).

Oh, well.  Thanks, Tripe.  I appreciate the confirmation that Gregorian calendars are indeed stable.

If only Mitt Romney had thought to get one of these, he wouldn't have looked so stupid and thoughtless.

[Tripe]

Even as line art they can't hide the truth. That's one terrified looking doggie.

[Tripe]

Yes because they have mobility, which is also why dogs like rides in cars; they can move about and readjust.

This, and the Romney crate story involve the dog being locked in place, the sack is going to need a good clean after the drive is through.

[Tripe]

True but there are such things as norms.

[Tripe]

Not arguing, and yes it's certainly more secure, so it's safe in that sense, but I just imagine if this sold in any great numbers (and I'd be surprised if it did) people were probably encountering a lot of fear extracted waste products and vengeful bites.

Jamie's Joke of the Week is quite humorous. I love the Mythbusters.
