    I know it pales in comparison to many here, but I couldn't think of a better group of guys to share my 2000th post with. By my reckoning that's 5% substance and 95% shenanigans.

    Though, isn't the phrase "honorable profession" associated with the word "attorney" called an - oxymoron? :think002:

    all this talk of big fancy words got me thinking about this guy...

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    For the record, my marriage history has been the reason several attorneys have had new cars, homes, toys for the kids, vacations, etc. I've been a supporter of lawyers more than once.

    October 22 Focus Shave 14

    Decided to use the new razor again today. First three passes felt a little rough but the fourth pass(2/3 of a pass) felt good. In the end a little more irritation than usual, one small weeper and DFS.

    Irritation B+, closeness B+, acceptable but I was hoping for better.

    I just lose all self control at the thought of new gear. I have to make decisions about skipping meals to get more gear on the daily. Haha.
