Women aren't supposed to have Adam's apples ("Adam's", get it?). Of course they have voice boxes but in most women they are not so obvious on the outside as they are in most men.

lol, you been kissing girls with Adam's apples? maybe late at night, bar's getting ready to close? some lady with an adam's apple and five o'clock shadow has been hitting on you all night? She's looking mighty fine through your beer goggles? You go out to your car and make out, she pleasures you, but won't let you touch her bulge?
Don't worry, we've all been there.

Be nice trib, they're inexperienced high school kids. Those nightmares haven't caught up with them like they havewithyou. Now just take three deep breaths, and repeat your mantra...


But yeah, women aren't supposedto have Adam's apples guys. You might want to reevaluate your girlfriends real quick.

And its Shannon Doherty. Come 'on trib she's not that hot,you should still be able to spell her name while drooling over her.

Okay, I don't care what they put in the shampoo, but if you had long hair like I do, you begin to acquire an appreciation for differences in shampoos. But, what I've noticed is no one shampoo works in all conditions, it really depends more on how a particular shampoo works in combination with the hardness of your water and the humidity of the environment. When it's wintertime and very dry, the oils added to the shampoo do help to keep hair softer feeling instead of feeling all dry and frizzy. I don't really care if they come from micro fruits or macro fruits :biggrin:

But, yeah, shampoo commercials are pretty funny. The only thing micro fruits seem to do is to make the shampoo smell pretty...or pretty nasty. I can't stand those overly perfumed shampoos like Pantene. Though I really do like the scent of Herbal Essence. It didn't do much for my hair though. I think Suave shampoos are some of the best, and oddly enough, they are always among the cheapest.
I didn't know that about the shampoo varities! I had Suave's coconut shampoo, its smell was so strong I threw most of it down the drain.

I saw an ad a couple days ago that was an animation where a diver was jumping on a diving board then magically jumped off at about -30 degrees, or the opposite direction she should have gone.

Very weird indeed.

There's an ad for Baileys over here and it's set in a zero-gravity bar. Interestingly, the people and the alcohol are floating, yet the bar's furniture isn't. Also, yesterday I saw a Paco Rabanne fragance for men that was called "Ultraviolet". Hmm..

Nails and glue work wonders in such situations. :P

LOL! Did you ever notice that in movies or commercials, whenever they are trying to show something in zero-gravity, all liquids pour UP? And, well, they POUR.

"Let the fresh fruits revitalize your hair, leaving your hair feeling renewed to start your wonderful glorious day."

Quite odd considering most shampoos have either sodium laurel sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate as their main ingredient, and whatever fruits extracts they do have provide little more than fragrance :biggrin: . Obvious advertisement ploy.


Now with neutrileum.
