    Well, I'll say I do like it(actually I never said I DIDN'T), but I think I'll do as you do...just for special occasions/social events. That being said, though, I've never hesitated to administer other "cologne dupes" on a daily basis, simply because I really like them(Sandpiper, Aqua Velva Musk,, others). The BoS takes a long time to show ,me its attractiveness, but when it finally came around to do so on Sat., I liked it.

    Tsuka - BoS

    As chief collector of this scent, I find that wood-like middle note the only negative...... but once it subsides..... Bom Bada Bing Bang Boom.... Look out aisle 12!! ...... Neva mind... Still happily married to my High School Sweetheart.

    FWIW..... I'm almost finished the first tub of BoS. Aside from sample sizes, it'll be the first 'dead soldier' under my command.

    Were you trying to say F and M(Frank N. Cents and Myrrh), by any chance? The E key is located nowhere near that of the M. Would you like to explain this mystery, Professor???

    Ehhh LADIES AND uh-GENTLEMEN:

    We at the Stoylin Tony Awards would like to announce that tickets for the New Year's Day event will be printed beginning today, thus the booths will be open tomorrow morning. While in the lines, no pushing, shoving, rough-housing, swearing, arguing allowed. We want this to be a sophisticated group attending the event. There will also be a Will-Call window available.. Phone in your ticket request by calling either 1-800-STO-YLIN or 1-800-EZL-OVAN. They will be ready for you on the day of the event. For identification, library cards or personal business cards will be required. Driver's Licenses and Health Insurance cards simply won't do. When you call in, operators will always be available to take your call. We oppose the policy of playing music into your phone as you wait for a live person. We'll see you on Jan. 1!!! That is all.

    I went a little overboard with the Spice aftershave today-we live and learn.

    This won't be my last shave this year, but it is the one to remind myself why I do this.

    To all the friends I have met here, may this New Year bring you the richest blessings from above.

    Naaah, they'll run away, claiming there's too much on. Shux. Actually, a woman did say hi to me there in passing yesterday-but failed to say I smelled nice.

    Eh-LADIES and Uh-Gentlemen:

    Some changes had to be made pertaining to 2 of the nomination sets for the Tony Awards Best-In-Show on New Year's Day. One due to the fact that one of the choices apparently isn't being sold now, and the other due to the fact that I decided to "swap horses in mid-stream" as the saying goes. This will all be explained on Jan 1 as we announce the Best-In-Show champion and runner-up. Let's hope such "horse-swapping" won't happen for future events.

    FWIW...... As a former riding enthusiast....... it is known that keeping one's heels down and toes up improves the likelihood that your fanny will stay in the saddle regardless of the horse you are on.
    Yeehah!
