You protest too much.

I'm just a set up man.

But wouldn't being wet and soft mean that your skin has absorbed the water and is thus somewhat puffed up and you won't get as close a shave? So ten minutes after shaving you have to shave again or just live with 5 o'clock shadow at 10 am?

Hell, what do I know - I pull all my hairs out by the roots. I cannot be trusted with sharp objects.

Is there something illegal about disagreeing with Mr. O'Reilley? Or is everybody required to tow the same line whereever they may be?

I finally watched this (the latest episode with Jesus of Nazareth on a surfboard, and the previous episode with the heavily bearded computer programmer). I don't give a shit if the Post panned this series as stereotypical, I love it.

Yes, it's over the top, but it strikes me that the League of Fabulous Gentlemen are hamming it up a bit, with an acknowledgement that the joke is both on the subject but also on them. They're having enough fun that (I think) you come away not really bothered about it.

I, like Mr. Hand, am impressed at the lengths to which Bravo is going to embrace the gay audience. I tell ya, one Supes decision on sodomy and it's all downhill from there.

Actually FRIENDS call him Snow Miser. Cold Miser is what I call the asshole.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is just some liberal CNN-type conspiracy against me because I watched Bill O'Reilly last night.

Oh well. Speaking of the news. The photos of the Hussein boys have been released. The quality isn't that great --

I've never considered shaving before a shower. The rare occasions on which I shave independent of a shower I find it to be a much more uncomfortable experience, resulting in a less close shave. After a shower? Smooth, like Anthony Michael Hall in 16 Candles.

Yeh, I've heard that story, but that can be applied to lots off peoples. I have no interest in seeing my ancestors' ethnic heritage perpetuated. I'm of no tribe, no religion, no offical group. The way I see it, the chief impediment to man's progression twoard a better life for everyone is tribalism/ethnicism/religious exclusivity. In the end, those who foolishly cling to traditions which differntiate themselves from others will find themselves alone. The melting pot is only going to get more and more mixed - embrace change or be a dinosaur.

Hell, change is nice. Have members of other faiths/ethnicity marry into my family would bring new views, foods, social customs, etc. I like to try new shit. Life's too fucking short to be Archie Bunker.

What the hell would I care if he went to a gay bathhouse --- from what I have seen he is not a gay-basher but rather doesn't think that the definition of marriage should be changed to include same-sex marriage although he does believe that there should be marriage-like legal recognition of gay unions. I think he is confused on that because I don't see the big difference other than not wanting to call it "marriage." There are some topics where he makes valid points and others with which I vehemently disagree with him. He has some good guests on (when he lets them speak, that is).

Now I must stop before I get banished to the PB where I will fit in even less than I do here.

Your skin takes longer to puff up from water than the hair does to get soft, so not necessarily. But, if one is susceptible to ingrown hairs, you don't want a really close shave, anyway, it just makes it worse.

I am getting the Mr. some of that Zirh shaving oil, though. I've heard a number of times that, for people with really coarse curly beards and fragile skin, preparing the skin with oil is the only way to go.

Well there you go. More proof I should keep my fingers off the keyboard. Like I said, I know nothing about shaving.

Now, if you want to talk about EmJoy Gold, I'm in.

Speaking of Anthony Michael Hall, I feel bad for the guy. I'm watching Dead Zone the other night where he's supposed to be having passionate sex with a woman and all I can see is him in the backseat of of Jake's convertible with his headgear on. I wonder if he'll ever get away from his John Hughes image.

(You may want to reword, I think you meant agree)

Of course people are free to agree with him. Take his word as gospel if you want. I've known a few who do. I just don't hang around with them much. The whole social intolerance thing doesn't work well for me.

Actually lately it comes up more on the right than the left, but I'm sure it is possible on both sides to have mouthpieces who convince people of things just because they say it with conviction. The Rush Limbaugh effect.

What the hell, I'll say it -- find someone on the left who has followers like that. James Carville? No - he totally says wackadoo way out there things that most rational people don't agree with. Michael Moore? You must be joking. I think the closest is Al Franken but he will never have the following that the right-wing conservative pontificators have. Why do you think that is?

I'm told cocoa butter is what the pros (i.e., barbers) use. But I've never had enough of a beard to get a shave with my haircut.

I call bullshit. I know plenty of elite athletes who use that stuff during races. I know some who live on the stuff.

Doesn't mean it tastes good, but its a quick lo-bulk method of supplying the body energy.

I used to find O'Reilly interesting in the same way I can't not take a peak at a car wreck. And he is smarter than that imbecile Hannity, who's interview techniques are clearly patterned on Joseph McCarthy. However, O'Reilly has been reading his press and feels himself infallible lately - thus he's getting sloppy and ham-fisted. Where he used to do his homework, he now just relies on bluster. He's a Limbaugh.

CNN is awful. Aaron Brown might be the most boring man on TV.
