Someone explain to me how I started a shaving thread?

I _hate_ having to shave every day. It's too bad electrolysis costs money. Of course, I would really kick myself if I ever decided I _wanted_ a beard. Hmm...

Plus, you all know how cool the stubble look is these days...

At the risk of nearly putting this back on topic...

Where'd you get the diecast? My nearly-2 year old nephew absolutely LOVES cars and I had to get him a Saab because he loves my car... now he needs a Vette cause he loves my OTHER car too. I'm looking for something fairly inexpensive that he can actually play with. Anybody?

Well... which one? I have about 20 1:18 scale cars. I bought the 78 Pace Car on EBAY. It's a UT Model. Go to Kay Bees for a great selection of model cars. They always have at least one vette of every generation.

I haven't shaved in years, and I have to pass a fresh air mask test for work....I just learned to pull the straps really really tight...

Before you tell me how wrong that is, If I every have to get my mask, well you can bet my truck will break down....twice, with 3 flat tires, and hell will freeze over before I make it to the job site.
I just follow the rule of our lead haz-mat instructor, If we see him running away, we should try to out run him.....
