I wanted to spell this word with a K in it to avoid the "ch" in the middle, but "follickhole" looked obscene. - purpleartichokes, 2007-08-16: 06:56:00
I ageee, "ch" is much better looking. Got my vote! - remistram, 2007-08-16: 09:41:00
As long as the follickhole got a good scrubbing. - Kyoti, 2007-08-16: 10:09:00

I don't know this feeling at all! It has never occured to me! At least in the shower.... Because, what DOES happen often.... I run back to my car to see if it's locked. It never was unlocked, but I simply never remember locking it. ;)

Good word. It seems to me that Water Conservation officials along with their economics make no sense: no matter how much it rains, they always send me a water bill.
