1. And I was promised a top-rate goodie bag with beauty products designed specifically for men.

9. Beware PCPP*
* PCPP = Personal Care Product Pollution

Me and the sweetheart went for a walk in the park last evening and wound up behind a couple that must have been doused in all kinds of corporate chemical crap, hair goop, stinkum, whatever. They were leaving a trail of noxious fumes.

Just disgustipating...A little goes a long way, folks.

15. The only thing I'll put on is some after shave after I shave.
If I'm going to be going anywhere that is. Other than that nada. I used to use an under arm deodorant for years but I found that it only makes me sweat where when I don't use any I don't sweat under my arms. I'll take at least one sometime two or three showers a day and during this hot weather I might be found in the pool quit frequently too.
My mom always taught me to wash my bod frequently and keep good clean undies on cause you don't want to have an accident and have to go to the hospital with dirty shorts on with holes in them. I think she was mostly worried about the hash marks though :-)

23. Sources
A Google image search of "beer and travel money" returns the famous picture of Lynndie England at Abu Ghraib:





A Google video search of "beer and travel money" returns an Australian comedy show: 6 Beers of Separation, described as "Four Aus­tralians have a six-​pack of beer, $12,000 trav­el mon­ey, and 18 days to try and meet their heroes"





I am due many experiences

20. Is "beer and travel money" the new pony?
I see that phrase a lot lately. Where did it come from?

21. RandomThoughts hasn't trademarked the phrase yet,
but that phrase certainly belongs to him.

27. It's also too late to trademark Sarah Palin or Bristol Palin.
Oops. That's Sarah Palin® and Bristol Palin®. Sorry.

26. Reviewing the application
There are no receipts or vouchers. Denied. And before we get too far into this, I am not setting any rules, I am merely enforcing the ones already in place. Please see the secretary on your way out, and believe you me that I disavow any knowledge of Mr. Cantor or his actions. A pity.
