You shouldn't have posted that. I felt sick the first time I read it, I feel sick again.

I have had relatively little luck in minnesota finding women who care about grooming.

Yep... the afterglide post. Who's Courtney?

You don't know the half of it.

Re Allies response: the only double standard going on here is the one that lauds women for challenging their gender roles while scorning men who do the same. Women are allowed to choose their degree of hygiene and be hairy and pungent, but if a man even thinks about showing concern for his appearance then he's obviously a lily-livered pussy (pardon the pun, couldn't help myself). Is that right?
Look at your last paragraph. If a man had written, "Chicks are supposed to be demure little flowers that shop, gossip about celebrities, and don't sweat at all," wouldn't that cause a bit of a stir?

Oh, and wayne, what would constitute "lack of grooming?"

I'm perplexed by one aspect of the hair removal... Where does it end?!

Most girls probably don't have an issue with deciding where to 'draw the line,' but don't most guys have hair at least up to their navel? An aesthetician told me last night about waxing backs and how they just choose a spot on the shoulder or elbow to stop, and the same for the top of the butt? That has to look extra weird! No?

Champs, does Mahogany cut your hair, too? She moved salons, ya know!

Josie, absolutely. I only stopped doing it because I was nearly maimed at a salon about a year and a half ago.

Does your cat need a wig?

Drive by waxing.

I'm so glad I'm married.

Aliecat: "I only stopped doing it because I was nearly maimed at a salon about a year and a half ago."

I've heard that can happen at some of these salons. You go expecting Siegfried or Roy and instead you get the tiger.

So if you ever find yourself confronted by the unexpected - Panthera Tigris clumsily holding waxing strips between its enormous paws and advancing towards you - make yourself look as big as possible and start yelling and waving your arms. Tigers are both opportunistic predators and waxers, so if you can convince it you might put up a fight, it may turn tail.

"I wouldn't say having your junk waxed makes you a pussy."

Far from it. Anyone who was willing to subject themselves to what could possibly be classed as a war-crime in less gentle circumstances just to sport the Boys from Brazil must have a well groomed core of steel in my opinion.

Amy2000: "I'm so glad I'm married."

Obviously because your husband or wife is paying for you to solve the Riddle of the Sphynx, I expect.

thank god Minnesota stopped giving licenses to waxing tigers
The Waning Hair lobby is one wicked pussycat.

On top of a rock, typically.

OK so is there anyone who likes a dirty pussy or cock?

Duh. Stupid assholes. We get that, okay?

All this "keep it tidy" nonsense is making mother insane in the membrane -if you know what I mean!

Trim the hair if you want but get off your fucking hygiene hyhorse already.

Any man who would complain about a few hairs or my sweet musk is never welcome at my table and the motherfucker is lucky if he leaves without a limp.

That is all.

I remember us kids getting that lecture almost word for word. It was the worst 10th birthday party ever.

LOL. I hope you have a birthday party this year.

lulz, teuce.

Sweet muck sundaes??

With a short and curly on top!

So I've already been convinced to wax my eyebrows, now you people are telling me there's more I have to do?

Geez. And being a dad, the only scissors I have are safety scissors. That's gonna hurt.

I've never made bread on volcanic rock. I have, however, had baked beans on toast, which, as I recall, was treated as something a delicacy in England, along with stringy mutton.

Keep your stringy mutton to your own thread sparber.

Whoops.

Msparber: "'I've never made bread on volcanic rock. I have, however, had baked beans on toast, which, as I recall, was treated as something a delicacy in England, along with stringy mutton."

Ha! I don't want to play to stereotypes here, but imagine my surprise when I discovered that the famous Irish Breakfast consisted of a piece of soda bread that had the consistency and texture of Pumice stone or some similar lava flow ejecta and a bowl of Lucky Charms with Poteen alcohol in the place of milk.

Ok, for the last time... Bacon, mutton, lava rocks over there.

Pubes, musk, and inappropriate bday parties for children over here.

Damn it, DeRusha!

I always wanted to get a free moustache ride hat because, see, my upper lip is clean-shaven. I would have worn it and hoped that one day, someone would ask me about the free moustache ride. Then I'd simply say "it's broken".

jderusha you should trim your bush into the shape of an "s".

That's "S" as in "S-L-U-T-T-Y."

Well, this got weird. Night shift represent!

lol raindog.

Yeah, the Friday Thread is going to be a let down after this. It must be a spring thing.

I hesitated before I chimed in here. Should have kept hesitating about... forever.

You told me the "S" was for Superman.

OMG, srsly, I'm dying you guys! Dancing DeRusha Bushes...sounds like a band...

Well, at least MnSpeak is only the third thing that comes up when you Google Jason DeRusha, so potential future employers aren't going to find this thread for, er, three seconds.

Your wife is in for a surprise...

Me too, with visions of bushes, mutton, and musky sundae's dancing in my head...

waxing it into a shape or waxing it off?

Thanks for reminding me of that Max. At least a 3-year-old 7 quick question page emerges first.

The Riddler if he did it himself in front of a mirror.

Riddle me THIS, Batman!

I swear I didn't write my wikipedia page. Although I'm horrified by whomever did. No one should care enough about me to write a wiki page.

And can we please redirect the discussion from me back to the topic at hand. I need to walk away now.

Both. Left on a toilet seat. In a truck stop.

Well, put the wax down and get out of here then.

I wonder if he where's the little riddler hat too?

I think we should declare this thread to be Most Righteous Among The Threads. I'd ask for it to be stickied, but that's redundant.

If you know where Eric Snyder is, please let me know.

champs -
I believe Eric has returned to Tommy's on Lake (or whatever it's called now).

Yes, well done those Whores. I hope they will soon be able to afford an inexpensive-yet-safe gondola balloon with all the money they save.

Lighter-than-air whoring is the future of the industry. I read about it in National Geographic.

Hello? Hello???? Ah crap I missed this great thread? I was at the LTOP winning 2nd place in trivia! I had no idea I was missing out on this...

all I meant waaay back in the beginning of the thread is that some people seem to think pubes exist to make it impossible to find their genitals. if you don't like the waxing/shaving, at least trim, people. christ.

It's alie's fault josie. She's such a pervert.

I know, I was sweet and innocent until I met you here. Now it's nothing but filth and ridiculousness (and bacon) coursing through my brain.

And yet, no one has used the terms "landing strip" or "Hitler mustache".

Odd.

Is it true that shaving makes the hair grow back thicker and fuller?

Wrong alie, it's actually a wookie.
