I apologize for the political jab. It seemed like the funniest thing I could say. - ErWenn, 2007-02-09: 10:15:00

My criticism would be that, unfortunately, Mr. President's blinkouts are not limited to shower-time. - wordmeister, 2007-02-11: 09:38:00

Pronunciation: COS-mic-SHOW-er

I like this verbotomy. In my case, it does not necessarily involve shampooing. I've dumped a hand-full of conditioner on my hand prior to shampooing. More than once. I admit to cosmicshowering. - purpleartichokes, 2007-02-09: 19:39:00

Thanks purpleartichokes. - petaj, 2007-02-13: 05:58:00
