Collector Can # 3

While shaving (yes, I use a shaving cream that calls itself the beard buster. Yes, I am a girl. Yes, I realize just how bad that sounds. Fact, it costs $0.75. The cheapest one for women is $2.00. Discard this information.) I noticed the one in my bathroom is Collector Can #3. Collectors can #3. hmmmmm. That must mean that #1 and 2 are out there somewhere. Someone collects these things..or do they? Maybe, just maybe, I should concentrate more on shaving my knees.
But no. I must read the can. By reading the can, I learn that they are doing some sort of promotional led by some five-time gold medalist named Gary Hall Jr. Who is Gary Hall Jr? What Olympic activity did he participate in? Why isn't he wearing a shirt? The can does not say. I do know that 10% of the profits go to kids with diabetes. Maybe they should charge more for the can of shaving cream? Should I feel bad for my thriftyness? nah.
Sadly, it turns out, neither e-bay or Google support shaving cream can collectors. I thought, for a moment, that if I saved all three of the known-to-me cans, i might one day profit from my packratting. then, i noticed the rust on the bottom of the can. AAM have been here. Discontinue use.

Happy Dance! The Shy is back! wonder if I can make Joe cool stir.
I'll leave this at the top and post tomorow or in the morning. Gotta see if I can get Katzwikel to design the site for me in such a way that we can have a Rich side and a Shy side or something so that our lates stays at the top.
ahahahahhahah!! oh god..I almost wet myself laughing; I read this whole post thinking rich had written it!
sheesh. no need to leave this up at the top. post away. more goodness for me to read.
Ok I'm just using the exuse to take an extra day to decide what to write about. My walk wasn't thoughtfuly productive as I had to use the bathroom halfway through and thats all I could think about.
I thought Rich was calling himself a girl, too. Great to see you back, Shy!
It is a fact(fact meaning that it's something I say and can be neither proven or disproven) that in America, you can print the words 'Collectors Edition' on any thing and boost sales 32%. One might be passing through the store and see a 'Collectors Edition'box of TurboLax Stool Softener and think, "Well, I have a knee high stack of nudie magazines. I guess I am a collector." and buy said product. In 60 or so years the collectors grandchildren will find it and see its obvious cultural value and sell it on E-bay. Being the only box to ever sell, it will make them millions.
Collect things, make future generations smile.
My stack of nudie magazines only goes calf high. I'm more of an internet smut guy.
you know, women get ripped off in that department. playgirl doesn't have a true centerfold, just a two-page pick. oh, and we don't get a jokes page.
