I split open my eyebrow in a drunken stupor one time. It didn't hurt either (not sure if it would have hurt had I been sober, but I think not). But it did freak out those around me that I was dancing around with blood dripping down my face.

Carry on.

I did the exact same thing at a Ramones concert a long time ago. Smashed my head into a friend's head. I kept saying "Dude, you're bleeding" and he'd say "No, dude, you're bleeding. When we finally sorted out that we both were bleeding, we retired from the dance floor for more beers and some napkins.

I had a hell of a headache the next morning. But that could have been from the Ramones...

I know that this post will likely bring down the wrath of the FB gods upon me, but I just had to point out that you just admitted to wearing glitter.

Bring on the pm's...

The shimmer powder has mica in it, which is in all cosmetics products that aren't totally matte.

I spilt open my right eyebrow in a sports related rage one time, and I had no idea that it happened. . . .

The stitches didn't hurt either. The hangover the next day did.

"Sports related rage." Heh. This reminds me of the time Slave was "playing sports" and went after that cab driver with a two-by-four outside the strip joint. Sports can do that to a person.

Well, you know, people confuse me and Slave all the time.

I sometimes apply an unscented aftershave gel. Does that count?

Well, if you're looking to increase your product use, I hear Dolce & Gabbana or someone is putting out kohl eyeliner, lip "it's a colored balm, not a lipstick" and other cosmetics for men.

Not Me
I use a moisturizer, foundation, finishing powder, concealer, blush, eyeliner, mascara, lipliner, lipstick, eyebrow color, and 2 or 3 hair styling aides daily (not necessarily in that order). In the summer (while not at work), I use a bronzer sometimes and some shimmer powder on my shoulders and decolletage.

Awful lot of make-up for a guy, no?

Unless your name - of course - is Bozo, the Joker or Seigfried

Confidential to RT: I know he's a little slow, but give yourself some credit. Sometimes people just post confusing shit that makes no sense, you know?

Don't you make fun of my beloved Ramones.

On a similar note, a woman who lives in my tiny town and is on town council used to be the manager for the Ramones.

I wasn't really looking. Should I be?

I've been accused of being "too subtext-y", but where exactly did I make fun of the Ramones?

On a similar note, I can no longer like the Ramones, as you have described them as "beloved".

Speaking of looks, I just got some email fashion thing from the NY Times where it asked what's the minimum number of products on your face you'll leave the house wearing. Apparently no-one except one guy can be seen in public without at least $50 bucks worth of mascara bronzer eyeshadow and hair shine on 'em.

I go au naturel almost all the time, except for maybe my summer lip gloss habit. FB?

Sunscreen, baby!

A handy tip my husband learned from a list of tips about improving his golf game:

• If you find that none of these tips is helping, go back and take up golf at a much younger age.

Well, smoky eyes are a pretty counterpoint to velvet pants. Own any?

Just to be accurate, you've combined 2 stories,

The effect is the same.

SD is at least that old. And his liver is doing time with mine over at an assisted living facility.

I understand doctors' oreders re: skin cancer. You get that, and you can die, and its a rather pointless death, because the cause was not some very fulfilling vice which made the time you had better.

But these docs with their drinking and smoking and drugging warnings can go to hell. Ever read a doc's warnings on booze? I'd be dead already if they were true, and I'm not alone. I'm also not cirrhotic. I'd sue the fucks for falsely warning people for no good reason if I could. Same goes with moderate smoking. My doc friends readily admit "Yeh, a few a day probably won't do much and binging on a weekend isn't likely to kill you." But the goddamn AMA says any cigarette is too much, because they think we're all too stupid to moderate our consumption. I've smoked for years, but only sparingly, here and there. Never been addicted. My blood pressure is exceptional. As to dope, its all lies. Every stitch of it. Here's what the docs really oughta say "Smoking dope is fine, since you'll never smoke nearly enough to do real damage, because a few bong hits get the normal man 'where he needs to be'." As to coke, "Well, you shouldn't 'Lowell George' piles of the stuff, but chances are, if you're young and careful and healthy, a few rails at a party now and again aren't likey to do anything more than keep you up way longer than you'd like or cause you to say some really stupid shit." As to hallucinogens, "Take them with friends and be outside if possible. Enjoy the ride. No negative side effects whatsoever."

The AMA's rejection of Bush's Abstinence-Only policy toward curbing sexual disease and teen pregnancy is hypocritical horseshit when you consider that it engages in the same disinformation game as to everything I've cited above.

I guess its because the average American really isn't smart enough to moderate his own appetites...

Whew, was that a rant...
