Definitely some odd couple shit there.

is this former chilxor "ch1cago k3vin"

oui monsieur

it got really nice outside.

It did! Courtney was going to come over and sit on my roof (in my new $5.88 canvas folding chair) but then it poured and now she's gone and I'd pay the devil to replace her.

Dan, I associate Ukie Village w/ ChiKev and I saw on FB that he was moving, so I thought maybe you were going to try to set up a social experiment.

To all the bitches out there with electric toothbrushes: TAKE THEM APART AND CLEAN THEM REGULARLY.

It occurred to me today that I hadn't broken mine down for a good scrubbing in a while and all I'm gonna say is that I bought a manual toothbrush today and I'm finna replace the electric one. #0_o #:( #;__; #thereisnoemoticonforvomitingafaik

ewwww

I'm ok with what is growing in my electric toothbrush.

Also, keep your fucksaws clean.

The threads of the inside of my toothbrush looked like a gay couple's used fucksaw after a chili banquet.

I know what's happening in there and clean mine on the regular, but I appreciate the PSA (and will probably go clean mine).

Also that is one of the most disgusting similes in the universe.

i'm surprised so many of you have electric toothbrushes

I'd never go back.

I have a $7 CVS-brand electric toothbrush, but I should really upgrade to a Sonicare.

Never got down with the electric -- I still have an acoustic.

so -- without being too graphic because YOU KNOW how i feel about gory/painful/graphic dental details -- why would I want an electric toothbrush?

Even the switch from a regular toothbrush to a cheap spin brush made my teeth feel so much cleaner that I felt like I hadn't really been brushing before.

^^^

My wife brought home a Sonicare and I kind of scoffed, thinking it was such a waste of money, but that is pretty much exactly how I felt - like I'd never really brushed my teeth before. Also, I've had much better dental checkups since I switched, always getting compliments from my dentist on how well I've kept up.

i'm dubious because i worry about enamel erosion
also so many traumatizing experiences involving a buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz machine in my mouth that i just...it seems like it would have to be way measurably better than my regular brush + floss routine to warrant changing at this point

i'm dubious because i worry about enamel erosion

That was one of my concerns, but my dentist told me that it shouldn't be an issue as long as you remember to let the spin-brush do the work for you and that you don't need to press as hard as you would with a regular toothbrush.

I was a long time hold out until my mother forced the issue by buying me a Sonicare for Xmas last year. Took some getting used to but I really like it now for all of the reasons already stated.

The only downside to the electric toothbrush for me is that I sometimes multi-task while brushing my teeth and forget to move it.

I was going to replaced the offensive head on my old Sonicare, but it's out of production and the ones that are available are too expensive.

that's a drawback - expensive replacement heads.

I had such a truly lovely Sunday! Took my bike in for a tune-up, and then walked up to Scot's to meet Malortney and Jesse, and to my surprise and pleasure jaymc, askance johnson, and kr1st@. AND waved frantically to the @mm3m@n family from across the great divide of Lincoln Ave.

I walked all the way from Scottt's to my house and now my knee is feeling funny again. I was surprised to find that the trip was under 5 miles.

Yesterday I walked around the Baha'i Temple in Wilmette for about three hours, taking pictures. There couldn't possibly have been a better day for it.

I biked to the zoo on Saturday and it was extremely dreamy.

I ran a beer mile on Saturday. Highlight of my weekend and perhaps my life.

I attened a very nice civil union ceremony on the lakefront Saturday morning, the rest of the weekend was pretty much a draw between yardwork and laziness.

speaking of draws, the 0-0 fire/seattle game on saturday was a bit of a snoozer... but at least it cooled down a bit in the evening

was it ever! but the weather was AMAZING. also i had a p delicious veggie burger there, and that was a huge surprise. i've had much much worse at restaurants. i had a really great weekend, actually -- lots of fun times & good meals, little to no stress. slept well. good times.

86º at night? I want to fucking die.

Like a fetid swamp out there.

It kind of feels like the 50s. Teens! On a rampage!

86º at night? I want to fucking die.

I hate it, too, but ... aren't you from Florida?

xp Or this awesome movie

I feel like "flash mob" is being misused in that story.

Hahaha "Take these home to your parents to let them know about a special emergency meetings to discuss the problems with you people."

I imagine the town meeting being like the comments of that news article, if Grenada wasn't entirely white and half of the meeting attendees were virulent racists.

xp we were talking about that last night! Our friends heard a news story while driving into town about "flash mobs" attacking people, and they had the same conception of flash mob that it seems we have - a bunch of madcap folks who agree to meet at a certain place at a certain time and get up to silly hijinks, like doing the Thriller dance in the Daley Center plaza - and we were all very confused about why, like, Improv Everywhere would want to hit somebody in the head with a bottle and steal his iPad.

"We're going to dress up like Best Buy employees, go down to Michigan Avenue, and ROB THE SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE!!!!"

this fucking fetid swamp... I'm worried about leaving the dog home today even though we ran the air all night and the place is sealed up like it's wintertime.

Tues: 94°F | 73°F
Weds: 94°F | 71°F
Thurs: 73°F | 52°F <-- nom nom nom

Fri: 61 and rain

Have you guys seen this? I know it's from 2006, but it's still relevant today. I've been in a languagey mood this morning.
