The Anything Thread

I feel so left out of the Scrape of the Day now when I hit the remote button to open the door of my heated garage. :biggrin:

[profsaffel]

Oh, good Dennis. I was wondering if I twere the only TATer on tonight. I'm thinking about going to shave with my new '48 and a red personna blade. I've got to rise early in the morn and hardly have time for a good shave then.

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Yeah... it *has* been a slow night.

[Gruder]

I'm still getting over the confusion about wchnu's presence or absence. And we're eating badgers now? :confused:

[profsaffel]

Most of the TAT posting is done during the workday, unfortunately. I can't get on easily during the day, so I miss many of the 'best' convos. :001_rolle

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

yeah.... check before work during lunch and after... but usually miss most of the good stuff.

Nonsense. Bring the good stuff now! I'll begin...

The three of us all teach for a living. Got a favorite story or moment when you knew it was all worthwhile? For me, it's a huge pleasure to hear from a student several years later. This happened last summer, when a student who took one of my intro courses wrote me out of the blue to thank me for the outlook on life the course gave him. Definitely made my month.

Last Spring I took a team to the state level Science Olympiad competition. One of the speakers at the award ceremony was a college student that had dedicated countless hours to help organize the competition. They finish telling about how he has worked so hard and has finished his bachelors a year early yada yada yada... finally, he steps up the podium... and it was a former student! He then happens to tell stories about when he was middle school kid in science olympiad and all the crazy things his coach would say or make them do and how it all makes sense now as being important....

I check during the day now more than when I was working. I could just never bring myself to waste that much time at work when I was working. I also would have been talked to about it and possibly even fired if I spent as much work time as some fellows do on here.

[profsaffel]

I too, have an academic team (Current Issues and Events) and one of my senior students today informed me that he and his fellow members feared me as though I was the devil incarnate their freshmen year, then their sophomore year they still feared me. Their junior year they didn't fear me as much, but believed I was surely crazy. Now, as Seniors, they say it is their sworn duty to drive me off the edge and leave any doubt behind that I'm crazy. But then I gave him 'that look', and promptly added that they still belief I am the scariest person they've ever met.

BWHOOOHAHAHAA!

Good morning ladies and gents - ok, I feel better. I started the TAT thread for the day. Have a good Friday.

Gooooood morning!!!!

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Good morning everyone. Stayed up late watching a movie then woke up with a massive headache. I am certainly jealous of my wife who gets the day off.

Oh well, time to pack lunch, take the dog out, then start scraping away. Woo hoo... it is a lovely 9F with mild wind.

tonight my daughter has caroling on the courthouse square so we will be standing outside for 2-3 hours in this tonight. Better unpack the thermals...

The tree I can handle (we did ours last weekend) -- it's the wrapping that I always seem to put off until the last minute. Gift bags may just be my favorite invention (after the DE razor, of course).

I'll drink some bourbon to inspire your warmth this evening. Of course, the telekinetic properties of bourbon are as of yet untested, so I may enjoy the effect a bit more than you do. Still, it's the thought that counts, right?

Glad to see this thread moving a bit more, even if I'm still confused about the feasting on badgers stuff.

Just got back from a round of squirrel hunting. It was too easy. The trees were full of the little bastards just asking to go into the pan. Waited too late in the evening though, as I was finishing cleaning the last one, the sun set on me. Very hard to cut up the little fuzzies with no light. It's not as bad as shaving in the dark, though. That would really be scary. :eek:

We just got back..... my throat and stomach had a nice warm feeling all night. Then I started to go the wrong way on a one way coming home. So the Bourbon must have worked. Now if only it would have kept my toes and fingers warm!

did you think about shaving them before skinning them?

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Gee.. haven't cleaned a squirrel since.... ummm well geez half of my lifetime ago..... I don't recall liking squirrel cleaning. Now rabbit cleaning wasn't bad.

[profsaffel]

No, Jim the thought never occurred to me to shave them first, other than taking away the hair that you have to in order to clean them.

And yes, cleaning squirrels is no fun at all. I only popped two of them just because I didn't want to clean anymore tonight. :gun_bandana: :chef:

Cleaning a nice big fox squirrel is too easy. Down here in Southern Georgia we only have an over abundence of tree rats - too small to eat but big enough to f%^k up your garden.

My pellet rifle shoots true - tree rats fear me.

[JarheadSgt]

Oh, and good morning TAT'ers. Yes, I know it's early. I'm in one my can't sleep modes and I have an iron-man rifle match to run, and shoot in, in about 4 1/2 hours.

My fault. My wife came home early, forcing a switch to red wine. If I'd stuck with bourbon, I imagine your extremities would've been fine. Heck, you might have been able to fly home...

When you get back, I'd love a brief description of whet this event entails. Sounds like a souped up biathlon, e.g. intense.

Easy day today -- grocery shopping, helping the confirmation kiddies get ready for service tomorrow, and watching the UK game at 5:30. Not a bad day at all. Hope you all have a good one as well.

[profsaffel]

What is your recipe for squirrel?

Eh, not much of a recipe, but I'll give you the idea:

Heat up veggie oil in pan with a pat of butter and a pinch of minced garlic.

In a mixing bowl, add salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar to your flour. Roll and flip the meat in the bowl until well covered, lay in the hot pan. Fry and enjoy!

Not anything like that. It's an 80 shot service-rifle match shot 200, 300 and 600 yards, iron sights and a sling (my avatar). The iron man is more a reference to who the match is named after - a good friend and my shooting coach. He still holds one long range national title at Camp Perry. One of his sons, and good friend of mine also, is the only junior to ever win the President's Rifle Match at Perry (2004), and the third civilian. He now shoots on the army reserve team.

The other reference to ironman is unlike a regular match there are no sighter shots, no alibis, no excuses and no whining allowed.

Thanks for enlightening me -- I appreciate it! So, how'd you do?

It started snowing here tonight. Pretty, but I'd forgotten how ridiculously horrible DC-area drivers become when faced with a single snowflake. Stipid people -- made me miss the first half of the UK game (Which, as it turns out, may have been good for my blood pressure, after all...)

[JarheadSgt]

Thanks for enlightening me -- I appreciate it! So, how'd you do?




I had some problems with my trigger pulling through the 2nd stage and shot like crap but still won the match. It mainly hurt me in the standing at the 200 but I lost a ton of points there.

[profsaffel]

Yeah, college football hasn't been good to me today. And poor Jim. Alabama just lost to Florida. :frown:

just a few more minutes until I cry about my Mizzou Tigers getting whipped by the Sooners.

[profsaffel]

Hey, the way this day is going, Mizzou has just as much a chance against OU as anyone. Texas still has luck on its side, so OU might lose just to give Texas a chance. Crazy, man, crazy.

Same for me. I just got on for a few minutes... yes I did sleep in this morning (NEARLY 8 o'clock before I got up!) but that was because my wife got up with "the little one" this morning. She was ready to get up at 4:30... and did a few hours of school work :confused: She's a teacher, too.

Off to shower and shave before church. Later. :bayrum2:

Mostly Mrs Soapbox and I have settled into the basement, with a fireplace, some Ella Fitzgerald Christmas music playing, and she works on her dissertation while I try to debug and add a few more functional bits to this program. Little H is upstairs and knocked out, with nary a cough on the baby monitor to be heard.

As Gruder noted, DC people freak out when ten flakes hit the ground. It's damn near as bad as Georgia. So we holed up last night, and tonight too just for good measure.

Evening all.

[profsaffel]

The Mrs here is watching "Desperate Housewives", I'm grading some online History 1301 assignments (BORING), and our little one is in the bed probably snoozing by now, but I dare not look in or sure enough, he'll be awake.

I like Snow White just as much as any six year old. :lol:

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Good evening everyone. Rather uneventful day. However, daughter is had some meltdowns at school and is now having tantrums about not doing the work that she refused to do at school. Yeah.. its going to be a long night.

[profsaffel]

Ugh, no quiet relaxing fireside chats for you. Good luck, sir. You're going to need it. A few weeks ago, I got a report that my son was kicking and pushing the same little boy in class... FOUR TIMES. Had to be sent to the office. He was pushing his little friend. And he's three, the little monster. :rolleyes: And to think, I'm getting him his own razor and shaving set for Christmas. :biggrin:

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Well part of the issue is she is refusing to do the worksheets for the field trip that she wasn't allowed to go to with the rest of her class. (The setting of the field trip would have set her off - sending her would have been setting her up for failure). They aren't hard worksheets, and if she asks nice, I would be glad to give her some astronomy assistance. The other packet of worksheets is sentence writing which always sets her off.

At the moment, I am just ignoring her. That works much better than trying to help her when she doesn't want it or to be confrontational with her.

[profsaffel]

Makes me glad I have a son. From what I hear, "boys are so much easier, especially in middle school and teenage years."

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Well I don't think is as much a problem with having a girl as much as it is that she has Aspergers. Usually she is fine... but there are days...

[profsaffel]

Still, teenage girls are crazy. I teach a hundred of them a day. :yikes:

Boys are simple. ON/OFF. Just like men. :wink2:

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Yeah I suppose..... However, in middle school, most of the overt problems are the boys while the girls are usually not a problem in class.

[profsaffel]

My boys try to sleep, it's the girls who talk too much, generally. But I have mainly juniors and seniors. I'm being general here, but it's better than being major or colonel, I suppose. :tongue_sm

Lucky for me with my chronic back pain I already had all the pain killers and muscle relaxants the ER wanted me to get. I will be fine. Prius needs to be rebuilt. Baby got out of car 10 minutes before accident. I was actually happy at the scene. I am off to see my Dr. now. Hopefully get a rental car and be at work tomorrow.

Wow Ray. I'm really sorry to hear that, but thank God that you and the baby are/will be fine. It's been a while since my last accident (knock on wood), but just thinking about it brings some of the adrenaline back. Take it easy today.

So I ordered a nice Fedora as a Christmas gift for my grandfather. Part of the deal was a promotion for a free ballcap with any purchase from the site. The box comes today -- lovely fedora for grandpa, and this monstrosity, but in bright red:

Now tell me, would you ever again order from the store who sent you that, even for free? (My apologies to anyone who happens to own and love a Kangol Furgora Links Cap).

Thank you Chad. Hey, did you get the package I sent you? If so, was there a slice of TSD soap in yours?

Sure did. I posted, but that might have been just before your B&B sabbatical :wink: Nothing from TSD though. You sent the TGQ Autumn sample and a some of the lavender, plus samples of two of your son's soaps and a vial of Blenheim Bouquet (which pushed me over the edge on that one -- there's now a bottle headed my way from Luxembourg). I've pressed one of your son's soaps (the whiter of the two) into a container and plan to try it tomorrow.

What's new with you this week?

[Rollsshaver]

Shew...... just being old. I had the grandkids for a day last weekend. That was alot of fun. What did you think of the TGQ soaps? I need to figure out who I sent that TSD sample to.

wow... the thread was Waldo when I posted this morning.. Then the next post it wasn't... ugh... Well I logged in, now I am off again. see you in a few hours at whatever the new thread will be then.

There is nothing to see here... as I am no longer here...

I looked for the shortest thread.
Then I called for Waldo.
Thereafter, I searched for a Tater.
But, all I found was nothing.

I planned on being with you kids yesterday. On the way to work I was in a pretty bad car accident. My Prius was T-boned on the passenger side. Lucky for me with my chronic back pain I already had all the pain killers and muscle relaxants the ER wanted me to get. I will be fine. Prius needs to be rebuilt. Baby got out of car 10 minutes before accident. I was actually happy at the scene. I am off to see my Dr. now. Hopefully get a rental car and be at work tomorrow.

I hope you are okay. Here, have some Pi (appropriate for this thread):

Oh she finally got her work done. (After hours of whining, complaining, and occasionally yelling/screaming). Then she ticked off Mrs. Coyote.. So that was another whole issue. She is perfectly fine today. Good day at school, good therapy session... She is in the back watching Rudolph at the moment.


Huh... it took a while to find this. you can't search for "nothing". Nice twist by the mods (or of fate)

Etoyoc, glad to hear the daughter situation is closer to resolved.

And thanks, Gruder. The report was good. I'm healing on schedule and he finds no problems. He said it might be 6 months before the scar tissue heals completely, if it ever does.

Keep up the healing Doug. I prescribe a steady regimen of "shavegasms" (not to be taken internally). :tongue:

Rolls, I like the TGQ soaps. The Autumn smells especially well. I need to get a puck of Cavendish -- think I'd like that one, too. I may stop at Tamarack on the way home from holiday travels to look into that. FWIW, I've always thought that Colleen would do better with her samples if she were to create sample pucks that were thinner and bigger around (like the Ogallala sample pucks). That small difference in size makes a huge difference in lathering ability, at least to me. Nothing a microwave can't fix, but that's not something that most folks would try. I remember getting pretty frustrated with her stuff when I first started wetshaving because I couldn't get good lather from the sample pucks. Go figure. If you touch base with Colleen again soon, feel free to pass that along. I'd hate to see her lose customers over it -- the soap is too good!

[profsaffel]

Whoa, so the name changed... AGAIN? What, is this a daily ritual now? Someone is having fun with us.

Chad, I have found that the best way to lather her sample pucks is by dipping the puck in hot water and holding it in the palm of your hand. Load your brush directly like that.

Broke out the Milord this morning. Forgot how thin the handles were on those. I got used to the feel of Fatboys, HDs, Aristocrats, Super Adjs... that the Milord felt way too thin. It shaved well for all of that though.

I tend to favor larger-handled/heftier razors, as well, the exception being the slant -- I get a better shave from my thin-handled slant than from the HD version. Go figure.

Chad, I have found that the best way to lather her sample pucks is by dipping the puck in hot water and holding it in the palm of your hand. Load your brush directly like that.

Yeah, I melt the stuff (short bursts in the microwave) into a 3" plastic base for a flower pot ($.48 at my local Wal-Mart!). That provides enough surface area for a good lather. Palm of the hand would work well, too. My only point is that many folks trying Colleen's samples are new wetshavers themselves, sampling lots of different stuff. Those folks may dismiss TGQ as a poor performer if they don't get good lather from their samples. At least, that's what happened to me when I first started wetshaving and ordered some TGQ sample pucks.


Silly me for not looking in the photo forum for this (name changed, again) thread. :001_rolle

Yeah, I could do without the constant moving, as well. I'd rather see mischievous mods (the best kind) join the conversation! (Speaking of that, where's Ian been?)

:lol::lol::lol:

as far as the game, I was already prepared for it...I called to check on the score (couldn't wait to watch the tape), it was 3 minutes left in the 3rd, score tied...my first thoughts were "Crap! They're still in it!" and "Crap, 4th qtr coming up, they really need a 2 TD lead, they still don't have the depth to keep it up in the 4th"
I was right.
but that will change, as soon as next year probably
I've said it all along, save for that major fluke vs. Ole Miss (not taking anything away, they've a good team, but a huge jackass for a coach), Florida would be #1, all Ole Miss did was wake a sleeping giant...yeah, I'd rather see 'Bama in the championship, but being it's vs. Oklahoma, I think I'd rather see Florida put the ass-whooping on them. Bama could beat 'em, stout defense, but I'm really looking forward to them over-hyped and out of place weenies get shown what football is (again....Texas already did that but got screwed in the system)

Good morning all, Eh?

Off to shave now. TTYL.

[Gruder]

Morning all.

Rolls -- I used your son's soap this morning (the round white one, not the one that was sliced from a shave stick). I really appreciate you sending it along -- it's excellent stuff. I soaked it for a few minutes, and it rewarded me with copious, wonderfully slick lather requiring very little effort to create (shavemac 23mm in finest). It's a forgiving soap, by which I mean it will accept a decent variety of water amounts and still retain its slickness. I think it prefers less water than many soaps, though, which I like. I discerned no scent, which is fine, and likely preferable to folks such as yourself who've been having sensitivity issues. The three-pass shave was great -- the lather didn't dry out at all during the shave. All told, an excellent soap. Better lather than any of the glycerin soaps I've tried (which makes sense given that it's not glycerin-based), better lether overall than C&E, and more user friendly than some of the higher end stuff such as AOS. Again, thanks, and please convey my thanks to your son, as well.

[profsaffel]

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Hey.... A new idea for a Wii game.... And it will be useful to reach out to the next generation of shavers...

Wii shaving. They can make a silicone sleeve to go over the nunchunk that has a brush at the end and the Wii remote could have a DE/Straight attachment. Then they have to lather, shave, strop, etc...

As they advance, they unlock the ability/ingredients to mix their own shaving soap. Which they can then sell to get money for better shaving supplies.


The Miis will then not only be able to have facial hair, but varying degrees of stubble, toilet paper, and bandaids as well

Good Morning.
Good Shave.
Its Friday! woo hoo.

[soapbox]

Hey hey, the thread hasn't changed names in 24 hours...! :w00t:

[Gruder]

Morning all. Busy day today, topped off by a 4pm phone interview for a tenure-track gig. Wish me luck! (Of course, if for some reason it doesn't go well, at least I'll have burnwood to kick around a bit...).

Oh, and the ouch game wasn't lost on me. I just lost on it, therefore making it decidedly less fun. Dang ceiling Walkens.

[Rollsshaver]

Chad, I will let the boy know that you like his soap. He will be very happy to hear it, as he has put alot of effort into making it a good product, and it looks like it had been worth it.

GOod morning all. God is good, and so is cheese.................

Happy Friday, TATers.

Well, it's after 1600, how'd the interview go?

[Gruder]

Happy Friday, TATers.

Well, it's after 1600, how'd the interview go?

Hard to get a read, quite frankly. They were interviewing 15 folks for two positions, so the whole thing had kind of a factory feel. I was hoping they'd narrowed things down a bit more than that by now. Still, I feel as though I held my own. Six questions about my progress, research, teaching abilities/philosophy, ending with the good ol' "what questions do you have for us?"

Thanks for asking, and thanks to all of you for the well-wishes. I'm humbled to be supported by such a caring group of gentlemen.

Now, here's the kicker. 8 minutes before the interview was scheduled to begin, the phone rings. No big deal, I thought, they're just calling a bit early. probably some fancy interview trick someone's keen on... Nope. It's another university, calling to tell me that I'm one of two finalists for their position. They'll be flying me out to do the campus interview/teaching presentation thing at the end of January. May have slightly affected my concentration on the interview at hand :biggrin:

Taking a cue from Richie's activities last evening, I shall now locate my bourbon. Seriously guys, thanks.

review section????
what in the name of Zeus' bunghole????
is gin-induced R-James a mod suddenly?????:biggrin:

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

OK... new location... and yet another name change. Dare I post a rating on the thread?

sure... why not.

Price.... Other than the (search for the thread) AD... this thread is quite budget conscience. I have spent less in this thread than others.

Quality: great quality of posters here.

Performance: This thread performs admirably at nothing... and yet everything

Usefullness: If ever I wanted an anything thread, a Waldo, a bunch of nothing, or to know what I wanted to be, this is the most useful place to search.

Durability: unfortunately, it isn't very durable. The title keeps breaking and it keeps getting lost.

The packaging:... well, it is packaged different every day.... so your packaging may very.

[sol92258]

:clap: :clap: :clap:
very nice review!

Good morning. I feel like crud so I slept in, skipped a shave, and are bumping this thread so the rest of you can find it this morning. Now, I guess it is time to walk the dog and head into work.

[sol92258]

good morning, whoever we are....:001_huh:
head hurts, body's aching, slightly feverish...oh well
bumpity bumpity so others can find us in the closet in the dark room of the basement of the abandoned house in the condemned neighborhood of the ghost town we've been relegated to....:frown:
happy saturday to all, and to all a, well, happy saturday

[Gruder]

Morning all. Thanks for the 2k congrats. Definitely a nice set of posts to wake up to (wherever they are now!).

It's Christmas shop with the wife day. Pray for me. :wink:

Hope you all have a relaxing or productive day. Your choice.

[SRock]

Bah Humbug!

Wow....... this in a very odd place for a thread.

Just curious, does stuff like this annoy Canadians?

Well, well, well (a very deep subject, btw). My wife has decided we need a trip to Jefferson so my son can ride the train. How horrible this is going to be, going to the antique capital of North East Texas. Whatever shall I do? :biggrin:

[JarheadSgt]

You have got to be kidding me - the Reviews???

Good luck on both, Gruder.

Mama, where am I? Mama?

ooh, ooh, take me! take me! I wanna ride the train!...:001_huh:

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Sounds like fun....to a degree.... I am not sure if I would like to shop anywhere this time of year.

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

time for another bread crumb, eh?

[profsaffel]

Well, I'm back. We didn't ride the train after all. All the tickets were sold. :mad3: I did see a few razors, but other than the Gillette Milord, I wasn't interested in anything. I did see a couple of Old Spice mugs, but they wanted 12 dollars for them. I only went into two stores, though. The Distraction Texas Shaving Club will have to make a special trip sometime soon.

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Sorry to hear that. Things have been pretty quiet here.

yes indeedy...one more week before christmas break, surely we can plan a day in there somewhere, however I will say that all my saturdays are booked until next year :tongue_sm

and, any of those other fine folks that can reach Jefferson should be invited as well...:001_smile

I see. The whole of B&B seems a little quieter than usual, too. :rolleyes:

Are you off the full two weeks? If so, we can pick any day. Even a Sunday afternoon/evening would be ok with me.

[OldSaw]

So who will have the 7000th post and will it be special?

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

As special as special can be. I could put a quick 40 posts of fluff elsewhere and hit 7000 her with 1K for me. Jeez if only I thought of that hours ago!:biggrin:

yep, I'll have to look at a calendar later tonight and see what days are available for me, and you and Micah do the same, then we'll make a Venn diagram of our days off and plan then :cool:
