Record snow is not normal, record snow after an otherwise weird winter doubly so.

I don't know what scares me more, the prospect of a really awful out-of-season storm, or these folks who have anti-reality glasses permanently strapped to their foreheads.

Thanks, Phillip Norelco, on behalf of gay men everywhere. If frat boys are all nice and clean down there, when they get drunk and seduced by gay men, it'll be way more appealing.

I think this is Connolly's rather unsubtle dig at Seattle's aspirations to be a "World Class City", which in his warped mind apparently means we're really just latent Anglophiles.

I'm just sayin.

The other thing is... I used to groom the boys and the day of and the day after things felt pretty nice. But on day three it felt like I had crabs. Then there's the ingrown hairs, stubble, the extra 20 minutes of prep time... is it really worth it? I think not.

welcome to the world of a woman! I know guys want us to be well groomed, but every day? there's no way I can do it without ending up with a bunch of ingrown hairs and razor burn. And waxing is just too painful/expensive to keep up with. *sigh* If only it were like the 70s where everyone was hairy and nobody seemed to mind...

I found the Philips Norelco site a few months ago and thought it was hilarious. The actor playing "Gary" did a great job deadpanning the serious subject of shaving his b--ls and a-s while adding an "optical inch" to his c--k.

I keep up with the weekly manscaping myself, and hell I might buy one of those things when my current shaver wears out.

One thing I don't get though is why people think that it's homophobic. Aren't straight guys nervous about grooming in general? Several of the straight guys I got with in college were groomers. Oh, right.

And yeah, the fact that it makes my dangly bits look all the bigger is a point in its favor.

So there's more moisture in the air, and storm systems are sucking it up, building strength like hurricanes do over the Carribean. This year, we can blame it on an el nino pattern, but more of this is coming if global warmin continues unabated.

Record snowfall like this is predicted by the global warming data.

Plus the polar ice melts. Just ask our glaciers (half are totally melted now).
