And I am talking about old man Bush, too, not Junior. That old shaver was a Panansonic wet/dry number with the uncanny ability to always miss one big hair. It seemed that no... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~488402030212 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:44:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_488402030212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_487626083972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sleahy -  It is one thing to plop down $45 for a shiny new iron down at Walmart, quite another to plop down $130 for one at the Bed Bath and Beyond. But that's just what I found myself doing last week, from desperation if nothing else.

The place of repose, where one may, for a few precious minutes of solitude and reflection, divest oneself of the day's annoyance and enjoy a peaceful and satisfying bowel movement.

The tsunami of serial killer cop shows, embarrassing "reality" extravaganzas, and sensationalistic network news pretty much tends to keep me off the broadcast dial.
