I doubt they are knob gobblers at that age.

[rhombus]

I swear, the 'good' laundry soap is gone and now it's all made in Mexico from goat chips or something.

No wonder there are so many brown shirts around. ;-)

Moronic cologne ad campaign is apparently working

Do I detect a little playa-hating here?

How can it be moronic if it's working? That's what ads are supposed to do - get people to buy their stuff.

I had to move to a different part of the subway car this morning because some pants around the knees teenaged punk had so thoroughly doused himself with this junk that I couldn't breathe. curiously, there were not six or seven hot chicks clinging to him.

I have "Axe" spray in Kilo scent. I dunno about the name. But I can't vouch for its effect on my love life.

(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")

[presidio9]

If anybody other than the chick you're making out with can smell your cologne, you're wearing too much cologne.

[Froufrou]

...and brown noses...

[pamlet]

"Do You Canoe" ... remember that one?....

Hmmmm

and Brut... laugh....

[Corin Stormhands]

There were some free samples of Brut at the gym a couple of weeks ago. I tried one.

Then I remembered why I stopped wearing it in the 70s.

[ozzymandus]

I bought some of that junk. It doesn't smell that great, and women didn't jump all over me any more than usual. ;>)

[Mike Bates]

I'll keep using what I've been using:

And while you're at it don't foreget that there's just something about an Aqua Velva man...

[stainlessbanner]

stinky green bottles

[derllak]

Plain old soap and water works for me!

[Corin Stormhands]

British Sterling.

So fine it's even sold in jewelry stores...

[subterfuge]

Ah yes, Brute. Thats the one I was trying to think of from back in the day. How about a little English Leather? Yuck!

[Corin Stormhands]

No joke this is 1977.

I'd been working in New York for Christmas break and was flying home on Christmas Eve. I'd bought a bottle of Brut for my dad for Christmas. Already had it wrapped.

The medallion on the label set off the security alarm. I had to unwrap the package.

Guess I should've gotten him a box cutter.

[Polyxene]

Thanks for the blast from the past!! As a teen in the 60's, my fave was "British Sterling". Hated "English Leather" and any of the musk stuff.

[TheBigB]

Nothing wrong with a nice scent. Davidoff's Cool Water is my cologne of choice, and believe me, it has gotten more than a handful of compliments from females.

[twigs]

My boss is alergic to most smells. So no perfume of any kind here.
