Dear fellow Countrymen & Countrywomen As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked, and that he must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 pm Eastern time all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of thei...

This morning I decided to put my newly aquired products to the test. I also decided to try the bowl method for the first time. I loaded a Feather blade into my Futur for the first time. I soaked my new Simpsons Duke #2 in hot water while also letting hot water heat up my ceramic bowl. When ready I used some nice hot water to soak my face. I deliberately skipped the Proraso preshave this time as I wanted to experience the scent of the new Truefitt &Hill West Indian Lime shave cream on it...

I just saw a news story on my local station about a truck wreck. During the story they talked about the hours of service rules. They got almost everything wrong. These rules are published, accessable on the internet, and there is no excuse for them being so obviously wrong. Just pure laziness on their parts. It seems that if they are going to report on something they could at least take 5 minutes to check their facts. I immediately shot them an email correcting their absurdly wrong report....

While we were coming into the house after our long tour a fly managed to follow us in. Socrates is fascinated. While the fly was walking on the celing Socrates was trying to figure out some way to get at it. He tried jumping from the floor and realized there was no way he could get that high. He tried from my footstool and nearly made it casuing the fly to start buzzing around. That's when the real fun started. Socrates chased that fly from one end of the house to the other, using anything...

The nitwit religious fanatics from the Westboro Baptist church are at it again. These sick, disgusting fake Christians were actually planning to stage a protest at the funerals of the little Amish girls who were recently murdered in their school. This is a sick, hateful, evil group of people. How dare they even consider using the grief of these poor people to further their hateful mockery of Christianity? Radio show host Mike Gallagher actually talked them out this disgusting plan by of...

I finally got my load picked up. It's a bunch of D9 dozer parts headed for South America. I'll deliver them at the port in Jacksonville, FL tomorrow and then head home for a week or so. I'm stopped at a truckstop to have a bite of lunch before moving on down the road. I'm in no real hurry now as I am only 5.5 hours from Jacksonville. The waitress came to take my order. I asked for the small ribs platter. She picked up the menu and showed me their new full rack of ribs "special" and asked i...

There is a small bar in Dunn, NC. As far as I know it's the only bar in Dunn, NC. It just happens to be on a back street and just happens to have an empty lot across the street from it. I just happen to know how to get to it. It's not a fancy place by any means. It's a small redneck joint in a bad neighborhood. Better than sitting at a truckstop being bored. For the most part it's local guys sitting around drinking beer and shots of cactus juice trying to impress each other. I grew bored r...

A call to my mom confirmed that the badger shaving brush that I had won in the contest had arrived. All of my mail goes to her place due to my being on the road. Now I am even more anxious to get home so I can try that bad boy out. Unfortunately I have been sitting here in NC since yesterday afternoon waiting for them to find me a load home. So far the only loads they have found going that way require a double drop trailer, which is what I usually pull, but I have a step deck. I suggested ...

I admit that before I discovered wet shaving I didn't like to shave. I would smear on some goo and try to get the whole thing over with as quickly as possible. I guess many are like that. As I was doing my shave thing in the truckstop this morning I noticed that in the time that I did all of my prep, lathered up, did my passes, and then the post stuff, three guys had come in, shaved quickly, and left. One of them was standing next to me and could smell the Proraso shave cream. He commen...

Socrates has started some new sort of game. He'll play with his favorite toy, an orange stuffed dinosaur, and then after beating the hell out of it he'll lay it next to his food dish with it's head over the rim as if he's feeding it. I have to wonder if he's pretending to feed his playmate. Do cats have the capacity to play make believe? Does he really think his stuffed friend may be hungry? Or has he simply found this to be a handy place to leave his toy? I think it would be very inter...

This is just sick and is a prime example of what is seriously wrong with American politics. There is an elected Congressman that sent some rather nasty messages to an underaged page. Ok, it's a sick, illegal, and perverse thing to do. It was found out. Good. He was forced to resign. Even better. Some members of a political party which I will not name but who's initials are DEMOCRAT are trying to use this unfortunate situation to gain some political ground. That's just plain sick. Especiall...

I would advise anyone visiting NC to avoid drinking the water. The must be something wrong with it. Everyone I have dealt with here lately are complete and utter morons. The latest example is the final stop on this load. I had called and asked for directions to the jobsite where the generator was to be delivered and the woman gave them to me although she wasn't too sure about some highway names but gave me landmarks. I followed the directions to the letter and found myself way out in the s...

It's Monday, no doubt about it. First thing this morning I called my first stop for directions. They're in Cincinnati. The lady with the Bristish accent gave me what sounded like pretty good directions as they seemed sensible when compared to the city map on my laptop. What the dear lady failed to mention was that there was some street construction going on and many of the street signs were either blocked from view or simply gone. I wound up taking a nice little tour of a section of the ci...

As I have very much been enjoying the Italian made Proraso eucalyptis shave cream I decided to order some other high end shave creams to try. All of the ones I ordered are British. I ordered tubes of West Indies Lime, one called Trafalger which is supposed to be a spicy scent, and some Sandalwood. I'm really looking forward to trying them and hope they'll be there by the time I get home. I can try them out with that new badger brush I won and which should also be there when I get home. I a...

I just wanted to say thanks. The function that remembers the last post viewed in a thread is now working for me again in Linux or WIndows using Firefox. Since I complained about it not working I felt it was only right that I acknowledge the fact that this has been fixed. Thank you!!! It makes viewing threads much easier.
