Ooh, burn!

I agree with that list, except #1.

I think it hilarious that non-alcoholic beer is #2 & #3!

:biggrin1: According to some of my students, over-reading is a serious public health threat!

Whoohoo! Five Russian aftershaves! :thumbup1:

How are those AS? I've been holding off on ordering...


Well, my day got off to a great start. My car's a little thinner thanks to an orange construction barrel that decided to lop off my passenger side view mirror. :mad3:



Interesting, I'll have to read that here in a few.


Those traffic cones are vicious!!

[soapbox]

Jesse, keep the pics coming! That was a great one. If I look closely, I think I can see the beginnings of a beard.


I ordered 2 over the weekend, and am waiting on the arrival of the package. :w00t: My wife has been hounding me for a Sandalwood and Rose AS's. They had the most affordable, and I know they are a vendor, not to mention highly spoken of here.

I dig sandalwood scent, and so does Mrs. Soapbox. Trouble is, Sandalwood is expensive. I look forward to your evaluation of the scent.


Wow, that was like a ZIP file of a Chip Roll. :thumbup:

:lol: :lol:


Been working on my brevity. :biggrin:

Indeed. Next up: Hemingway.


:biggrin1: According to some of my students, over-reading is a serious public health threat!

As opposed to a vocation?


Whoohoo! Five Russian aftershaves! :thumbup1:

Ooo! ooo! Which ones? I am curious about a few that have been mentioned on the board. Pictures please?


Sandpaper AS, refreshing as the Gulag on a winter morning.

Uncle Joe's AS: wear it if you dare, bourgeoisie puppet.


I stubbed my toe working in the garage today. :thumbdown It hurt like *&^(#@.

Seems unfortunate to have to work in your garage wearing those steel-toed boots, but I bet it becomes more popular. Hope a cold beer solved the problem!


But is it a ban-hammer? (Or a banana hammock?)

:thumbup1: :thumbup:


:lol: What, no steel boots?

No, that's next on your shopping list! :biggrin1:


Well, the little guy is still a little jaundiced, but he's doing well. He's a good sleeper already (I expect his near-9-lb birth weight helps with that), and he's eating well too. I actually got some sleep last night.

[Gruder]

How are those AS? I've been holding off on ordering...

Not bad, at least in the bottle. The only one I've used thus far is the "Marcury" -- a whole lotta' fern on the dry down, with plenty of longevity (a little goes a long way on that one, I'd say).

Let's see... Marcury, For Men, Player, Tabacus, and Arbat. I'll have to work on pics -- no clue where my wife hid the camera!

You, on the other hand, are doing some nice camera work! Glad he's sleeping well for y'all.

Did that picture make anyone else think of a specific emoticon? (:shifty:) :biggrin1:

I tend to try to avoid the power pills, as well. Too much worry about addiction. Advil's good stuff, though I've had a couple of different doctors recommend aleve instead. I bought a bottle, but thankfully haven't needed it lately!

I have not had any Sandalwood AA yet, but I have used some Sandalwood SS, that I love. I really like the smell, so I hope I will enjoy it a lot. It went through Memphis today, so it will probably be Monday before it arrives.

Just wait til he realizes he's going to have to wait nearly 16 years before he gets to shave with anything, much less Dorcos.

Morning all.

I've occasionally thought it might be a good thing to learn to shave two-handed. You might get better shaves out of this whole ordeal. How's the palmolive stick? I've only tried the cream.

I am very excited! I have been wanting a windshield for my motorcycle and perhaps a fairing. But, money was no option since I have none. Well, today there was a town wide garage sale in my hometown, where my parents still live. At the first one we went to I found a fairing that would work. He had a windshield for it too. It is primer black right now so I need to paint it. But, I only paid $12 for it! :w00t:

I went over to Burlington today to visit JR's for some more pipe tobacco, and decided to hit the two Antique malls while I was there, and I had a productive run of sorts.

First, I found for $1 an OS Green lantern decanter that I plan to use to decant my Ivy Club Spice into. It needs some clean up, but is in excellent condition and should serve me well for a long time.

The best deal was at the second antique mall. They still had a Flare Tip in a case for $45 and a barely red tipped Red Tip for $35. On the way out of the store, I forgot about one aisle that I hadn't hit. Time as I walked down, I spied a Schick Injector (cream colored handle with a gold head. The head has 'Schick Safety Razor' on the back with a crown underneath.) It came with the case with an empty injector pack. It also needs some clean up, but all is in excellent condition. Oh, and it was all just for $3.50.

I had a cased Type L at one point. I didn't think I was going to collect, so I listed it on the BST. Several months after I had given up and was a collector, I got a PM asking if that was still for sale. I agreed to sell it to him and have kicked myself ever since. I noticed he sold it, but only after it sold. :sad:

Oh, Conyingham, PA! :w00t:



Never heard of it. :mellow:

That's OK, from what I gather some of the residents don't even know there is life outside of a 30 mile radius of this tiny little village that just happens to have the second longest interstate highway running through it.


Take a left at 1965 and you're right there.

Actually, I think they caught 1965 a few months ago. I can hardly wait til they discover the 70's. :lol:

Well, at least you don't have to do that pesky 11 digit dialing to call across the street. (CT just switched to 11 digits for local calls; what a pain in arse.)

Shhh... don't tell anyone. They might fly right past the 70's and into the 90's if they knew. This truck stop is kind of like a different world plugged into the past.

Checking in before I go to bed. It looks like there were some awesome motorcycle and razor aquisitions! I guess it is a good weekend to bargain hunt. Maybe I should try that tomorrow and see if your luck will rub off on me.

By the way, can I borrow Czar Kitteh? I need someone to keep the neighbor's furball in line and out of my garden.

Yes it was a great deal this weekend. I like finding deals like that, and adding another Injector to my collection. I'm up to eight razors now, and 3 are SE.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I have had a wonderful four nights off work. I have done nothing important, but had a great time and did some interesting things. I don't know if I mentioned golf yesterday. DrBob, Skklog, Mrs. Blackfoot and I played. We only played a few holes as it was late and, yes, I sucked. But, it was a blast and I think I have yet another expensive hobby to add to my list. But, now the bullet proof vest is back on. That is when the full reality of returning to work always hits me. If it wasn't raining, I would be a little excited since I could ride the bike to work and show the guys my fairing. But, alas, it will rain into Wednesday. But, I do feel refreshed and ready, somewhat, to return to duty. I think you need a little time like this weekend to reboot now and then. :thumbup1:

Morning all.

Mornin' Chad!


Picked up a new Weber kettle grill yesterday. Steak + potatoes + wine + fire = good.

Odd -- me too. Got a Genesis E-320 grill a week ago, and despite the box looking like it came from China via an angry pack mule and then packed into a container ship by the American Tourister Gorilla (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2ZeIoLz8FE), it assembled without much difficulty and I just got a propane tank for it.


I am very excited! I have been wanting a windshield for my motorcycle and perhaps a fairing. But, money was no option since I have none. Well, today there was a town wide garage sale in my hometown, where my parents still live. At the first one we went to I found a fairing that would work. He had a windshield for it too. It is primer black right now so I need to paint it. But, I only paid $12 for it! :w00t:

Saw the pics on Facebook -- (and above in this thread) -- very nice!


I wish more companies would play nice with Tux. He's a good guy. :glare:

Either you're awesome or you're sucking up to Rich, and either deserves applause. :a14: (yes, I suppose you could be doing both, but anyway).


Say what you will about skklog. I still say that anyone who can quote Darkwing Duck has some redeeming quality. :001_tt2:

Yay, Kristina!


Is it still the same nasty, rundown, ganginfested warzone that it was 10 years ago (when I was last there, actually make that 12 years)?

No--Ray--tell us how you really feel!


It was sooo tough, that even my mother-in-law backed down.

*golf clap*

(My mother in law is in town and she's a great cook, so this statement of approval is in no way relevant to my mother in law).

Ba-dum-ching! Try the...oh, nevermind.

Well, SBJr spent a few days and nights in a UV crib at the hospital because of his jaundice, but he came home yesterday and has been a chill little guy. He eats, he sleeps six hours or so during the night(!!) and he's doing great.

It's funny how you can catch the little ones trying out their face muscles and getting interesting results.

Anyway, my life remains a bit topsy-turvy. My grandfather (not the husband of my recently deceased grandmother, but my mother's father) got a pacemaker on Monday, a day after his 97th birthday. I need to call him and make a few "how long is the warranty" jokes! I had a broken tooth finally start to crumble yesterday, just before my annual review.

Oh, and after waiting five or so days after SBJr was born, I celebrated his birth with a nice straight razor shave to mow the almost-a-week-beard. I'm still not very good with the Puma, but it's my best razor and it's my fault for the razor burn on my neck. For now, I'm back to my Mergress and Feathers, but several of my friends really straight shave every day -- wow.

In all, things are good. And my daughter -- who is a month shy of being two years old -- used "instead" correctly in a sentence (twice!) yesterday, not long before singing the entire "ABC" song correctly. Her language skills are fun; it's hard to remember she's just entering the "terrible twos!" (plus, she apparently likes Jeff Healey):

Great news all around, Jesse. Congrats again and great pics of both little ones.

Great Big Awwwwwwww on pics. of the little Soapboxes! :001_wub:

+1! What cute kids. Thanks for keeping us posted!

:biggrin1: I enjoy it too. It's nice to share your joy with folks.

Blake, glad your time off was relaxing -- you definitely needed it!

Jesse, thanks for the pics! Glad that SBJr, your budding rock star, and the grill are all doing well. :smile:

If you're ever stuck at Dulles airport for a few hours, check out the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Air and Space museum. I saw it for the first time today -- really great stuff. Where else are you gonna' see the Space Shuttle Enterprise parked behind an SR-71 parked behind a Wright military flyer?

[blackfoot]

Oh, and after waiting five or so days after SBJr was born, I celebrated his birth with a nice straight razor shave to mow the almost-a-week-beard.

He needed a shave already? :w00t: Well, congratulations on starting him out right with a good straight shave. :thumbup:

[gollum83]

Greetings TATers! Rejoice, for I have returned! :biggrin:

Went to a concert last night in downtown Detroit. Peter Wolf. Great show. Played a little of everything, from some of his more recent stuff to some old favorites from when he was fronting the J. Geils Band. :thumbup1:

Blake, glad your time off was relaxing -- you definitely needed it!

I did, more so than I realized. I was getting a little burnt out. I had a three day weekend last weekend. But, those of you that have worked nights knows that one night off is not a day off. You need more time than a day shifter to get the same R&R in. So, four days with nothing to do really, was a God send. :thumbup:

I haven't been there since I was a kid. I remember I loved it but not a lot of details. Now, I have been to the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Museum in Dayton, OH several times and it is a great one too. I might have to go back.

Here is an amusing anecdote regarding my visit to the Smithsonian. We had a family vacation to D.C. On this trip, my mum got a really bad ear infection that she caught from me. I don't remember what it was, but the doctor she had to go see said adults didn't get it often. I found it slightly amusing since mum and dad thought I was exaggerating and I didn't go to the doctor. I remember it was the worst earache ever! :eek: On the other hand, I felt very guilty that mom got it from me. Strange the things you remember.

Anyhow, back to the real story. Mum had to stay in bed and Dad and I went to the Science and Industry, mom's least favourite. This was kind of a special day for me because I didn't spend a lot of one on one time with my dad like this. Especially not a whole day. Plus, we had a mutual interest in this. Who knows, maybe it was my idolizing dad. I digress, I like to ramble. Here is the point. Dad and I were walking up to an old piece of farm machinery. Dad said, "Look at that old cotton picker!" We approached it to see what it was. Turns out, it was an old cotton picker! :lol: Dad I laughed and laughed. We told mum about it when we got back and she wasn't near as amused. She gave the same look you guys probably are right now. :biggrin: Dad and I still laugh about that.

Well of course! What else was it going to be? :001_tt2:

Anyway, I think the next show I'm going to will probably be Jeff Beck. He's going to be playing at The Fillmore Detroit, formerly, the State Theatre, come June 20th. I've been wanting to see him for awhile, so why not?


Wow. Didn't know he was still alive. :blink:

Could of fooled me last night. The guy moves around on stage pretty good for a 64 year old. :laugh:

[RichGem]

The pictures of little Soapbox (v. 1.0), scared me into picking up the guitar tonight. It was sweet. but, I still suck at playing.

Currently working on the intro to "Wonderful Tonight" (just about perfected) and the intro to "Proud Mary" (F chords are a female dog).

Also started to begin to pick up a little Link-inventor of the power chord-Wray (Rawhide (not the tv show)).

We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

You got to see Peter Wolf? That's awesome! I still have my cassette of Come As You Are. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_as_You_Are_%28album%29).

That's one of the few things I did deliberately while living in DC -- made time, with relatives, to go see the Udvar-Hazy museum. I'm from Huntsville, Alabama (with the world's largest space museum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Space_&_Rocket_Center)), and I'm a space nerd already; so seeing the Udvar-Hazy museum (and, of course, the rotating exhibits at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum) was de rigeur.

[moonshine44]

I've been shaving with a Gold Ball-handled NEW lately, and got the hankering for an Old Type, just for gits and shiggles. I posted pics of the cased Old Type that I got in the mail today here: Cased Old Type (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?p=2099769#post2099769)

It turned out to be way prettier than I thought it would be from the eBay pics...

Yep, I saw him down at St. Andrew's Hall. It's a pretty small venue, but therein lies the appeal. Not that there's anything wrong with larger venues. I grew up not too awful far from Pine Knob (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTE_Energy_Music_Theatre) and have been to more than my fair share of concerts there. :001_cool:

Either you're awesome or you're sucking up to Rich, and either deserves applause. :a14: (yes, I suppose you could be doing both, but anyway).

To answer your question, I am awesome. I am, in fact, a Linux user by force. And I mean by force. I really hated it at first, but only because it is different. Now I like it better than windows, but really wish more companies would take Linux into consideration when developing their software.

And both little Soapboxes are so adorable! Nice pictures!

And, I swear we didn't do this intentionally -- but it appears that SBJr already likes camouflage. He's starting with "Playskool Camo" and I assume he'll work up from there.

My friends, I covet your prayers and thoughts: My daughter's best friend was kicked/stepped on the head while feeding their horses yesterday evening.
