Living by Fiction 
I’m so about mushy pears.
But borderline crunchy bananas.
It’s a mystery. Not sure if rational choice theory could identify my mushy pear utility curve.
The next time I find myself with a mushy pear, I will maximize utility by trading it with you for a crunchy pear.
This is clearly good for society.
They still scent those things? yuck. If I wanted it to smell fancy, I’d spray some Old Spice on it.
As for dry winter skin, if you’re already braving the roaches by having olive oil in your apartment, it’s good on legs as well.
In Hong Kong, the sub-labelling is all in Chinese and people have bad taste in everything, so I have a hard time avoiding scented feminine products. It takes me 20 minutes to examine all the packages very carefully.
Horrifying. Do you want a care package? Also, regarding women’s shoes, depending on what bugs you there’s probably a “Comfortable” kind that looks presentable and is less offensive than the alternatives. But if you have to wear heels to work and object to joint damage and shortened calf muscles, you’re SOL…
Maybe i’m naive, but are there really offices that force women to wear high heels? Dressy shoes, ok, but high heels are torture.
I wear Clarks dress shoes, which look like men’s shoes. I’m a big fan. 2 years of workweek wear, and they still look highly presentable!
It does mean that I have to wear pants all the time, though. Possibly this is not as much of a drawback for you.
Women’s shoes are on the bad list just because it pisses me off that women actually like their portable torture devices. Also, said women appear taller and thinner than me even if they aren’t. 😡
voodoo economics brings the rage.
This list started when I was at the store trying to decipher the packaging heiroglyphs of smelly and non-smelly feminine products. And cursing, “This is as persistently fucked-up as voodoo economics!”
The last time I bought a feminine product was 2003. It is unscented and made of rubber.
I’m so uncool.
Relative to what?
Relative to people who use reusable menstrual supplies. http://www.lunette.com/
I’m cool relative to TimeCube theory, but on the other end. This theory guides my life.
http://www.timecube.com/
“Creation of 4 simultaneous 24 hour days, within a single rotation of Earth, empowers me above all 1-day gods and educated stupid scientists. I will wager $10,000.00 on it.”
How come I can’t get a decent domain name and some wacko gets timecube.com? Grrrr.
Duhhhhhhh
“Why not the Time Cube?”
The only reason is educated stupidity.
