Silly Season

 These UFO videos are completely unimpressive. Now, if they resembled in any way my revolutionary shaving mug, then we might have cause to speak of a paradigm shift. I see no reason to argue that reality might be merely metastable, that the rational might spontaneously decay into the non-rational, or even that there really is no rational order of any kind at a fundamental level. In fact, the existence of an artifact like my amazing shaving mug actually points to a very rigid and exact rational order on all scales. And it is still working, still functioning perfectly even after all this time! It has not become an orange, or an apricot, or a jock strap, or any other thing other than the thing that it is, and we should all be cheered at this news. Take heart, one and all. Our mornings remain quite cool, the days warm, and the evenings are very comfortable. I have indeed taken some photos of my shaving mug and I can state with no reservations at all that someday, some DAY-- SOME day-- that those photos will appear here. I just need to get around to it. And I feel no urgency. I still exercise quite a lot, too, and I recently managed a 235 lb deadlift, which, at my age, within striking distance of 80, seems at least satisfactory. I used no belt, and did two reps, and I expect to get to 250 lbs before the end of this year, but I take it slow and easy, out of respect for my aging body. I am hoping to get my squat up to at least 200 lbs in the near future. It is so very, very, important to exercise and keep to a healthy diet! And regular shaving is very important as well. A good close shave and a refreshing splash of aftershave can go a long way toward prolonging a man's life! Let us then eschew silliness of all sorts, and live a rational and orderly life!

A Shaving Mug In Many Contexts

 My new and innovative shaving mug continues to function nominally, giving me confidence that it could still function well in a more exotic context than anything I could produce in my local reality. Consider for instance the Empress of Vulgaria, the ineffable and gorgeous and very very wealthy BEER!SHEBA! Yes, that one, of whom it is said by many authorities, that she shaves her LAIGS each day, in her morning toilet. We must not criticize her for the customs of many lands are not as ours. This morning toilet is said to be of solid gold and encrusted with precious gems, and it is said to be only one of a myriad of such toilets available to the scrumptious BEER!SHEBA!. And well then I say, why not imagine that semi-divine being availing her magnificent self of a shaving mug, like unto mine, and even using a cheap generic disposable double edged razor from Walmart? And even imagine if we dare, that the lather from that mug might be applied to regions other than those divinely inspired and crafted LAIGS of hers? I durst not be more explicit, no I dasn't, lest those of you who might exhibit exquisite sensibilities SWOON, and fall flat on yer arses in a dead faint from which only a strong draught of anhydrous ammonia might awaken thee, and then only to see thee afrighted and haunted all the days of your lives with symptoms of PTSD and trembling limbs. But you take my thrust, you catch my drift, I am sure. And so we have the possibility of that mug of which I speak and of which I am so darned proud, existing at least potentially, in many and many another context, some far removed from the mundane, and so it is demonstrated that my radical new shaving mug is indeed a thing of inexhaustible joy and possibility! One shivers, in all of one's fibers. And there is a razor, too, to remove such fibers!

Only the wicked would ask for more. 

Hmmm. I kind of agree with this guy:

MAGA rant!

Lately, I've Been Thinking...

 Yes, lately I've been thinking about all the people who, for one reason or another, do not shave. Consider the women of Europe, and in particular the women of Germany, who are said to enjoy strenuous hikes and marches in the warmer months, clad lightly, with their thick, hairy, muscular LAIGS on display, like a herd of Wildebeests, frightening motorists on the autobahn. Yes, LAIGS all furry and bristling with coarse fibers! Would not my shaving mug be a boon to them? To the people of that land? I think sometimes in this fearful and benighted age, that much good could be done by giving folks an uplift, an inspiring and edifying sight, and I wonder then whether it might be worthwhile to haul my shaving mug slowly about on a wagon hitched by a hempen rope behind my car, perhaps employing one of the vintage Red Raider Wagons that used to be so popular on game days here in Lubbock. Look on, and be of good cheer! I could carry my shaving mug in an oaken display case to towns like New Deal, Spur, Ropes, Lamesa, and the like, bringing them hope and joy and amazement! Better than the ice cream man, who will sometimes scare the shit out of people, with his blasting and distorted and weirdly out of tune undulating music. and the frightening prospect of encountering a giant snowman type of thing, but made of pink ice cream, and yet bristling with coarse black fibers of unknown origin. 

A Revolution In Shaving!

 I did photograph this astounding innovation in shaving mugs, and at some point I will share with the whole wide world. I can already hear the gasps and moans. The primary ingredient in my soap mix happens to be LAVA, the HAND soap, but it contains pumice and I find that the pumice sharpens my cheap generic Walmart disposable razor even as I shave! I get months and months of fine shaves now from ONE cheap, generic, disposable, Walmart razor. That is a miracle that goes even beyond the amazing miracle of a shaving mug which is actually a repurposed SOUP mug!! Do you believe in miracles? Well, you should, now. But I will continue to deliver progress reports as a public service. And it will be a source of welcome news to all, oh, I shall tell you all, that this, dare I call it a device, continues to function very well, day after day after day after day, ad infinitum. No, I do not believe in miracles only, but I also have faith, that ineffable oil and salve-- faith in this innovation, this gift of inspiration, the flash of lightening, that led to the grand idea of repurposing a SOUP mug, and making of it, that SOUP mug, into a world class SHAVING mug, by the simple expedient of placing within in it, not SOUP, but a blend of Palmolive soap and LAVA, the HAND soap! SOAP replaces SOUP, and, ladies and gentlemen, we have nothing short of a MIRACLE!

Feel free to rejoice, one and all. 

Cool Cloudy

It'll be hot later. No rain, but a nice enough morning.

 My shaving soap innovation continues to work well. I will keep providing updates on this very important topic. At some point I intend to provide photographs. For such amazing things documentation is good to have.
