Default Random musings of a COC. If I can't turn it, I'll disparage it.

Sorry, that was a poor attempt at humor. (Or being a social critic.)

never tried that, but I use the farce a lot..


Same here.

Yet you have to admit that much in our modern world is hyped beyond
belief, and most certainly beyond the item's true worthyness.
(Girls Gone Wild, Viagra, and Diamonds around the Holidays all come to
mind...)

For sure.. I won't watch anything on TV unless it's recorded and we skip the
commercials..
Most of them are an insult to your intelligence and the rest are just annoying..

My pet pi eve is that they've convinced folks that they smell bad and need lots
of products to help.. and that "clean", which used to have no smell, IMO, except
maybe sun drying, is now classified as one or more of many, many scents that
make your clothes, hair, etc. smell like a perfume sampler in a department
store..


I absolutely HATE the artificial scents that exude from various
chemical labs. I like my women naturally clean. ;-)
Vanilla and Old Spice are about my limits.

How about that idiotic FreeBreeze commercial that has people smelling
the carpets and chair seats. How stupid do they think we are?
(Yeah, that's a rhetorical question.)
Last time I saw anything like that, some putz at a party had spilled
his eight ball on the floor.
