Not if there's nothing wrong with them.

I'd say 85% of ordinary men have dry balls. Spit on them, slap some lotion on them, olive oil, Pam, whatever--moisturize your balls, gentlemen.

I must be fortunate, then. I de-moisturize mine, just like Shaq.

Is that what he is referring to when he says "A little shake, a little tingle" in those commercials?

It tingles a bit when you put it on, from menthol. Somebody here on the forums saw him use far more than just a little one day at the gym.

There's a joke in the Simpsons where Homer is trying to remember Don Quixote and Marge says the title, but until I watched the episode with the subtitles I was super confused because I thought she was saying "Donkey Oatie".

It's Donkey Hodie.

You know how the paint stirring sticks you get free from the HW store when you get a bucket of paint have that little curved in section?

It's not there to just be the "handle", it also helps you scrape paint of out the roller:

And paint can openers are also bottle openers.

A taco is more of a hot dog, as the shell is connected, like a hot dog bun.

A sandwich that's connected is a fold-over.

What is it when a hot dog bun disconnects?

I�m a little late to the discussion but my favorite US small town pronunciation is Versailles (Ver-SALES), IL.

My home town has a street like that. It's kind of ridiculous, but it's our ridiculous. Someone had a good explanation for those who think it's 'wrong' to pronounce it the local way: 'Ver-sigh' is a place in France; Ver-sales is a street here.

Are you saying you pronounce "draught" as "drott"? Because that is not how you pronounce "draught".

You don't know that when you're seven (in the US).

syscall girl posted:

I'm saying if you read it in a book it looks like it should be pronounced like "caught" much like "gaol" should have a hard 'g'

I knew that gaol meant the same thing as jail (because Mr. Toad got locked up), but thought that it was something like a weird spelling of goal.

^^^ It's definitely "keelhaul", as in they are being hauled along the keel (the "spine" of the ship, running along the bottom center). I can see how you got to keelhull though.

I know, and I'm not the one who wrote keelhull.

The metal strip over the flint wheel on disposable Bic lighters is supposed to be a child-proof safety. I'd always assumed it was basically packaging and meant to prevent the lighter from striking while being knocked around in shipping or something, and pulled it off as soon as I got the lighter. It turns out that it's completely possible to leave it on and still use the lighter.

They added that and removed the thumbwheel that controlled the size of the flame. :corsair:

I dunno what US toilet outlets look like but I have a wall-mounted spigot in the toilet that I just put a splitter on to have two hoses, one for the cistern, one for the bidet

Just like that, but people call it a shutoff valve rather than a spigot (if they even know it's there.) In plumbing lingo it's called an angle stop.

The bidet attachment is awesome.
