I look more rad than Lutheranism

Poll: What kind of shampoo and soap do you menfolk use?

Tim will only use bar soap like Safeguard, and ignores my grapefruit-scented body wash. Whenever he runs out of shampoo and we're standing in the shampoo aisle, he stares at all the options and then asks me, "What do you want my hair to smell like?" (I think green apple wins, although, really, his hair doesn't smell like anything to me. Which is fine.)

It's suddenly occurring to me that I've never asked him that. OTOH, I wouldn't change hair products for him unless they were making him physically ill, so, no point.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I like sandalwood in my shaving soap. The shower soap is just Ivory. Shampoo is...something cheap.

Here's your disturbing imagery sentence of the day:

"Using a computer-controlled cadaver to simulate a pitcher on the mound, Boston researchers are gaining insights into the causes of baseball shoulder problems — which derail more major leaguers than just about any other injury."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's like, childhood, sitting on daddy's lap. Also, Tom's of Maine is right out for kissing.

It's never occurred to me that fatherlike things or familylike looks are out of the runnings. As long as you actually aren't my father, you're good.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

It's not that (the family-like), but I knew of no one else who used Old Spice or Tom's for nearly two decades. It's firmly DAD for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't know of anyone else that uses Old Spice other than my father. I just don't care.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Jon and I both use Ivory soap in the shower, and he uses Head and Shoulders shampoo. I use cheap shampoo, and whatever flavor conditioner will fix whatever thing is going on with my hair that day (frizzies, split ends, flat etc.)

So apparently the theme next year at work is Earth/Earth Day or something really vague and planet earthy. I inquired as to whether this was chosen because that was the year Earth was supposed to end. I think I got everyone on board with theming the camps from "Living off the Land" to "How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse". We have, after all, been trying to find a way to target the older kids.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm sorry for your loss, Gud.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, DH has been using Old Spice shaving soap & deodorant since college.
