Re: Let's Have Auditions

It's like we lack ambition, even by online community standards.

Having given this some thought, I'm going to make an initial recommendation of Labs, Emerson, and Jackmormon. I haven't met all the commenters, but I think that would be a good group.

It's like we lack ambition...

I suspect that it's just that we understand the the rest of the world is not ready for the sage advice of the Unfoggedariat. Especially about shaving balls. Or, for those of you terrified of razors, Nair-ing balls.

I will confess that I have shaved a man's balls, but it was in the context of my job. Men are sure edgy when one comes at them with a safety razor...

Proper old school safety razors, with the interchangeable double-edged blades are bloody sharp. I'd be pretty damn nervous too!

Last time I had my balls shaved (for an operation, and the rest of me, since I make -gg-d look like a total alopecian by contrast), the guy used an open cutthroat number. Open my eyes were not.

When I had my pre-op appointment about a vasectomy, the doc warned me to shave 'em. Otherwise, he said, I'll do it and I won't use shaving cream.

Another survivor told me about having this done by an angry male nigerian nurse, and it sounded about like those videos of tasering linked not long ago.

23: Back in the olden days, we didn't have disposable razors. Those two-edged whatsits were, indeed, what I used. Carefully.

The floor nurse picked me to do the honours because I was "from that college up on the hill, so you're probably not a virgin". [Whilst she was right, that didn't mean I was in the habit of depilating the genitalia of strange men.] Thus was preserved the innocence of my Catholic nursing students co-workers.

DE, a friend of mine not long out of HS was shaved by a girl he knew from school. In training to be a nurse, I think. When he started to get an erection she picked up a spoon she ad brought and smartly knocked it down.

He was also a big liar, however.

This has not been my experience. Clippers end up clipping loose skin. But perhaps your scrotum is made of stronger stuff than mine.

You have to take it in the spirit in which it's intended.

But I am--the spirit in which it's intended is "trying to be funny", and they failed. If you're going to put your vid up on a website called "video.dotcomedy.com" and give yourself a themesong with a fart in it, you gotta follow through.

I've been lurking here for over a year, and you could put any two regular posters together and have them perform selections from almost any thread and get a funnier video. (Even JBS, but then I always picture him as Sam the Eagle.)
