Old Spice Watermelon

[Guest EXPAT]

I have to say this is a very odd commercial. What does it look like when he jabs inside that watermelon?

On my a guy smelling like a watermelon... I'm not sure I will like that... And who uses a soap bar these days???

[AdamSmith]

You even fear a WATERMELON will smell bad?

You need to consult a surgeon about a schnozzectomy.

I meant a guy should smell like a guy...

I agree EXPAT sort of a strange way to promote soap ...

[RA1]

Schnozzectomy? That seems a little extreme. Perhaps just a punch in the nose to alter one's sense of smell? Most of us would miss having a nose, regardless of any of many possible deficiencies thereof.

I still use a Dial bar. A move up from hog fat and lye.

And I've been using "Irish Spring" for years.

I think our hitoall would be happier without a nose. In fact without any sense input organs whatever. He is, in spirit, I am convinced, the reincarnation of St. Simeon Stylites.

Separately, one suspects lye soap scrubbed the dermis a lot cleaner than today's greasy emollient bars.

Oh my AS I do have sex from time to time.. Just my last sex has been a year ago.. Escorts love me because I don't last more than 10 minutes..

Yes, fat based soaps no doubt provided a superior cleaning, necessary when one only bathed once a week or so.

I have always wanted to meet and personally know an ascetic. But, fortunately, the opportunity has never presented itself.

??? Are your copilots ok with you bathing once a week??? I had a coworker who didn't shower before he came to work everyday.. He said he showers after work.. Hmm not a good experience..

You might then be interested in one of the characters referenced in AdamSmith's informative link:

The Mark Twain novel A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court features a man who lives on a pillar in the valley of the hermits and repeatedly bends over at the waist . . .

Twain's hero hitched the holy man to a sewing machine and used him to make linen shirts, though your proclivities may lead elsewhere.

I don't use co-pilots. However, personally I bathe at least once a day. That satisfies me, if not those around me. You seem to confuse activities that were common many, many years ago with today's preferences.

Oh my I had my Nancy Pelosi moment again... Lol... I love her necklaces and scarves though...

[AdamSmith]

I must say, from firsthand observation, you do remind somewhat of Mme Pelosi.

I hope that is a compliment.

[Guest hitoallusa]

I think I was in my jeans and sneakers when I met you... Not as stylish as Nancy Pelosi.. I don't know when those politicians have time to shop such fancy clothes...

They hire personal shoppers.

As should we all. .)

[Guest hitoallusa]

With our tax money???

As my personal shopper is also an ascetic, he charges nothing at all.

To help make ends meet, he moonlights as a personal organizer for his clients and, so I'm told, has never owed a nickel in taxes.

This appears to be a FEDEX closet during the early morning when he or she has departed for a flight. Everyone knows that FEDEX pilots are hung upside down in a closet when they are not flying, don't they?

In fact you were (one time) in those really striking electric-blue -- neoprene? -- shoes. You are admirably more fashion-forward than La Pelosi.

[Guest hitoallusa]

That is not fashion forward.. It's just what you put on what you have..

I've been saying that for years!
