Body spray?

At 1:36 PM, Tortfeasor said...: I could not agree more with just about everything you said. I use the cheapest soap available so long as it doesn't make me break out in hives.

In my mind, men who obsess about their appearance aren't men at all -- they're chicks pretending to be men. Or men pretending to be chicks. (If I weren't suspicious my mom is reading this, I would have been more colorful there.) Whatever. The point is that perhaps the greatest God-given privilege of being born male is society's permission to be a slob. How some "men" are so willing to forfeit this privilege to appease chicks truly baffles me.

And you've got to be kidding -- your roommate actually said "it helps with exfoliation"? Laughing in his face = good; bitch-slapping his face = better. So not only do you put up with being the only tolerable human being on the editorial board, but you do the same at home? God bless you, my child.
