(...) Congrats Jeremy, I always wanted to be a kept man :') Ed - who has to shave every day, and sometimes again at 5:00p.m. obshaving - anyone else try the new 3 bladed razor - hated it. (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Of all the SNL commercials to bring to life, it had to be that one. Why not the floor wax that tastes great, but look at that shine?

(...) Ever wonder why Ben Kenobi stopped shaving? :-, And don't even *THINK* about asking about Chewie's situation. Jedi Knights don't go around ripping peoples' arms out of their sockets when they cut themselves shaving. Wookies have been known to (...) (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
