On the left hand side

Because my friend Luc knows I'll try new drinks at least once, and he hadn't seen it before, he walked into my temporary server rack office with a bottle of the "limited edition" Mountain Dew Pitch Black. No, it's not some Vin Diesel movie crossover drink, it's Mountain Dew "with a blast of BLACK GRAPE"--no, not the Black Grape with Shaun Ryder in it, either. So, now there's regular, Code Red, LiveWire, Baja Blast, the blue kind of icee that I can't remember the name of Blue Shock (mmmm, Slurpee), and Pitch Black. I wasn't aware that there was a caffeine free diet version of MD as well. Apparently, Pepsi's introducing Pepsi Holiday Spice sometime as well.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a fridge, or I'd have had some by now. Guess I'll just have to wait until later to see what it tastes like.

Also, since I'd not been able to use an electric razor for a few days last week, I've switched over to the Quattro razor. Yes, four blade insanity has ensued.

You forgot Baja Blast Mountain Dew, which is approximately the color of Prestone antifreeze and only available at Taco Bell. It's a tropical lime flavor and it's pretty yum.

Nope, Baja Blast is on my list. :)

The Maximizer would definitely be on my list--IF I grew hair like crazy. My facial hair mostly sits there making my face look more dirty than hairy. Perhaps a home electrolysis kit? Of course, then there'd be liability issues, and people would try using it in the bath and/or shower and such.

D'oh!! Why didn't I see Baja Blast the first time? ::sigh::

It's okay, it was hiding around that striked text. It's very sneaky, that Baja Blast.

FWIW...

I've been using the same "classic" Gillette safety razor for the past 20-odd years. 1 disposable blade, double-sided.

I've tried electric and cartridge razors, but they don't do any better of a job.

The major reason I decided to go with the Quattro is I've had a free sample of it sitting in one of our closets for about two months now.

Every time I use it, I wonder how many times I'll nick myself. My monkey hands were never really that adept at handling razors or power tools.

dude you could shave w/ a weed wacker and it would be easier on your face than the 4 blades. Ouch. One pass and you are done for a month. all hair + 3 layers of skin. You could use the new one w/ the "electro shock" ID10T alert. That seems like a hoax

Electro shock? Man, that's like some villain's evil power or something. It's right there in the comic book, opposite of the page with the ad for Sea Monkeys.

That you liked both references reminds me why I like you so much.
