Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't see why someone would even want another person to clip their nails unless they had Parkinson's or something—it should be quicker and safer to do it yourself than have anyone else do it for yo

Everything he learned while a prisoner in Stalag 13.
bwah. The nail thing: definite Lyndon-Johnson-having-meetings-in-his-toilet vibe(And I say that as somebody who cannot paint her own nails.)
A guy here who describes himself as real techsavvy/cool just mistook a Shuffle for an iPod remote control.
