Secrets of the City

I bought that Axe stuff. Didn’t know anything about it. It was in the 99-cent rack at Target and I grabbed it. Needed a little deodorant spray for my gym bag. I paid for it.

That list is bogus, Man! I’m not a douche. I gotta heart and soul like anyone else.

Why Axe? Does it have a more tasty bouquet than Lysol or Listerine?

the comercials make it seem so good…

It’s all them d-bags lookin to get laid..

I like Old Spice a lot. Do you have to be old to wear Old Spice?

no you don’t have to be old…that’s just silly.

You can wear it if your spicey too.

Clean, dry, was my body and hair
I threw on my brand new Doggy underwear
for all the bitches I might take home
I got the Johnson baby powder and Cool Water cologne
Now I’m fresh, dressed, like a million bucks
Threw on my white sox, with my all blue chucks
Stepped out the house, stopped short, oh no
I went back in, I forgot my indo

btw do reporters do actual investigation any more?

I saw this and I thought…hmmm I wonder what is really going on?

A quick search on google turns this up:

@ryanl: Sadly, it seems the under-35 crowd in broadcasting can’t do a lick on TV without a teleprompter telling them what to do. Oddly, some in the biz seem incapable of using Google, too.

Old Spice is like catnip to me…so is English Leather. Rowr…

Those fragrances have been out of style for like, about 25 years.

I know, but I still love them.

I mostly use Old Spice but have recently tried a couple of the new Axe “flavors” (but it’s hard to huff that gel). The chocolate-mint is intriguing … to me, at least.

For a cologne, I like something called Stetson.

So, aliecat, whenever you need a whiff of Old Spice you know who to call.

You want me to fix you up with some guys who wear that stuff? I know ‘em.

It’s a solid manly-man scent. Reminds me of dudes working on their own cars and supper clubs.

Rat, don’t tease…

Nostalgic for those Sioux Falls boys?

My last ex wore it too…but yeah, I lean towards working class guys.

Those fragrances have been out of style for like, about 25 years.

They’re only out of style for the guys that prefer “Paris”

@rynl I read that story. I think it’s a dubious secondhand account. I’d need a helluva lot more evidence than that. There might be some dumb teenage kids who think it will give them a high, but it would probably give them a headache.

Yeah that was the first one I found but ya have to believe its more than just kids trying to smell nice for the ladies.

It is an aerosol can isn’t it, I think that means ya can huff it…at least that’s what I heard….

I thought the same thing ryno, there has to be a drug involved or something.

Nothing like a splash of Old Spice, Brut or Aqua Velva to enhance that retro-’60s-ladies-man-after-dark image.

@Occam: Why does it have to be an either/or thing? Just mix them together.

Why risk getting ‘caught stealing Axe? It’s not like it’s Aqua Velva, which is passed down from fathers to sons.

Start your day with a splash!

All those fragrances give me a headache. That is why I go naked!

my childhood memories of the JCC are tied directly to the smell of aqua velva and the sight of combs in blue liquid.

The Fragrance Free line at the Wedge appreciates it, Douglas.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax. Open thread.

Got something real important to say kwatt? lol

No.

But someone might. MMMAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

All caps, that will get his lazy ass out of circle bed.

Open thread? That can mean only one thing. It’s Friday! What happened to the rest of the week?

Lazy ass Gen Xer.

Its moving day for me!! Hell yeah!

Dougnuts, the rest of the week was spent toiling in the basement of Bludgeon Hall.

@Jane – Actually I spent the week in Appleby and Mayo. I was hardly in my office in “Bludgeon” Hall at all.

Where you moving to? Ohio?

Haha. Nope. Im just moving to a diff area of the cities, so unfortunately for you guys, I will still be here! .. Ohio.. so random…

She’s hesitant to say, must mean she’s moving to a suburb.

heres a video of my lazy cat dealing with my hyper dog.

Haha you got me. Im moving to excelsior actually. :s

The Fragrance Free line at the Wedge appreciates it, Douglas.

Please tell me this doesn’t realy exist….

i will be moving out of mpls soon too…..We plan to list the house right after labor day..

Wish I could.

Where do you want to move?

ruh roh…don’t spend too much time/money at maynards shopgirl.

Ha. I still pronounce it Maynards. Incidentally, the “paint scraper” I got at Home Depot the other day was a POS.

Heh. I will try not to spend my whole paycheck at Maynards. This will be a hard thing to do.

I was talking about the restaurant Kwatt but the same could be said for the hardware/homegoods store.

Whoa.

the SE suburbs—but not cookie-cutterville, I want > 10 acres.

OK, if you’re sure.

I am sure.
I’ve had it with crouching in front of a computer to make a living. I am to become one with the land!

The Rat is two with the land.

Baker that is cool–do you have plans for the 10+ acres, or are you just going to enjoy the expanse as-is?

I’d take 10 + acres but I think I would shoot for Minnetrista or Long Lake.

Jane,
eventually we plan to start a small organic farm. With Nigerian dwarf goats. My wife is also interested in researching viticulture. …Provided we find the right type of property!

We’ve realized that we’d enjoy a slower-paced life:)
