lots of hair conditioner & a comb...or scissors? what do you normally do for armpit hair knots? this would make me kinda ia too

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 18 January 2012 18:34 (fourteen years ago)

I shaved one of my armpits once. was really hot and had no a/c so I remember it bothering me, then I guess in some half-asleep state I got up and shaved it. Felt good, man

I don't know, those are a lot less annoying than those huge, ugly window stickers.

can someone explain the stickers on cars that are a white oval with two black block letters in them? I thought they were to denote a state you'd visited but a lot of them aren't state abbreviations & it drives me a little batty trying to figure them out. I feel very daft.

Oh god, this is really common in this area and it has to include some reference to the school mascot

the destination/airport code ones? (xp)

i thought it was countries visited but then i saw a "CHOC" one and now i don't know anymore

brownie, Wednesday, 18 January 2012 21:54 (fourteen years ago)

I think they are pretty much meaningless at this point and you can get them for any touristy thing or interest ever now.

it's just inside joek place abbreviations

yeah I've wondered a lot about this myself and never figured out what they meant. they have to represent more than one thing.

frogbs, Wednesday, 18 January 2012 21:56 (fourteen years ago)

yeah they used to be for countries but these days you can get stuff like http://i1.cpcache.com/product/51601800/wtf_oval_stickers_bumper_stickers.jpg?height=160&width=160

I think they're meant to emulate European country code stickers.

A friend of mine arranged some to spell out ME GA DE TH on his back bumper.

i think it started out as places visited, but kind of informally abbreviated? and now it's funny little catchphrases, school initials, food prefs, whatever.

rocognise gnome (remy bean), Wednesday, 18 January 2012 21:58 (fourteen years ago)

i saw a BNL one the other day

frogbs, Wednesday, 18 January 2012 21:59 (fourteen years ago)

i guess i never noticed them or didn't see any when it started out meaning something which is probably why i'm so confused on it

Okay, this is awesome and almost redeems their very existence.

now I want them!

My grandma's old neighbor has a NOFO sticker & I sort of want one.

He has the highest hair:surface area ratio I have ever seen on a human.

His chestscaping drove Brees and the other Saints to kick the Colts' ass (asses?) in Superbowl MXLOLETC.

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 20 January 2012 04:03 (fourteen years ago)

I had an Albanian friend in college who was probably the hairiest guy I've ever seen. Gorgeous, but his body hair was like a layer of felt, it was incredible. He asked me and my friends to wax his shoulders so he could wear an off the shoulder dress for a guys-dress-as-girls costume party. (lol college) Oh god the poor guy was in so much pain. Very similar to the 40 YO Virgin waxing scene, but with way more hair.

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 20 January 2012 04:07 (fourteen years ago)

I lived across the hall from a guy during my first semester of college that, I kid you not, smelled kind of like a wet dog when coming back from the showers due to the amazing amount of hair he had. His name was Dane.

mh, Friday, 20 January 2012 04:10 (fourteen years ago)

Moving away from body hair, I hate search boxes and the like with text like 'Search' in them, that doesn't disappear when you click on them to put in your own search terms, so you end up searching for things like 'Discosearchgs'

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 20 January 2012 05:56 (fourteen years ago)

I knew a dude in college who had to decide every time he shaved where the beard stopped and the chest hair began - there was a straight line in this wall of hair running across his neck point that tended to vary up and down a bit.

I'm really sorry to sound so dumb here, but is this something in queer terminology? I'm assuming you dont mean he's a furry. I feel really dumb asking :/

Popsike has a search box, basically the page part-loads, then the final thing it does is to clear the search box, even though you have already typed most of what you are searching for, and you hit 'return' and it says "no entries for ture"

Mark G, Friday, 20 January 2012 13:36 (fourteen years ago)

boomkat's search box does that predictive thing where it fills in suggestions as you type. but hitting return now just accepts its suggestion and doesn't submit the search. so you have to hit return again.

yeah all these terms that probably came from Will Ferrell movies are so annoying, especially when people say things like "I want to kill him...IN THE FACE!!!"

frogbs, Friday, 20 January 2012 17:36 (fourteen years ago)

also all the Facebook statuses that refer to inanimate objects or concepts, like "Dear Chemistry Class, I don't like studying for you, Sincerely, Fuckhead"

think i wrote this somewhere last night, sorry! i didn't realize it was from a movie

Actually, iirc, the stupid "threw up in my mouth" thing came from one of the Austin Powers movies (but, oh wait, Will Ferrell was in one of those wasn't he?).
