Awesome!  I didn't realize that customers could post their own images along with reviews.  Idiotic inventions like this practically cry out for them.  :lol

Mrs.Jingle just told me about this yesterday, and it's appropriate for this thread.



For every 'man-scaper' going for a wax.  I'm serious, that's how they market it.

Quote
WHAT IT’S USED FOR:
Numb Nuts Pain Relieving Cream will be your savior when it comes to your waxing sessions. This breakthrough numbing kit helps reduce the pain inflicted from waxing your intimate area. A 4% concentration of lidocaine-based cream and a comfortable latex panty safely numbs your skin for 15-20 minutes. This makes for an ouchless session, getting rid of the unnecessary pain that comes along with waxing and laser treatments.

 :omg: :omg:
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

"Man-scraping"?  Dudes getting waxed or fucking laser treatments?  Is that what we've come to?

This review is from: Wheelmate Laptop Steering Wheel Desk (Automotive)
My husband Brad always warns me not to try and update my Facebook page while I'm driving. "You'll hit another pedestrian," he says. "This isn't the Enterprise, there isn't a deflector array." Then along comes a miracle product like this! I can now happily fly at warp speed down the streets of Los Angeles, laptop or mobile device perched right in front of me, so I can keep both eyes right on it AND on the road. It's so much easier to ignore all the frightened screams and annoying honking when you've got Facebook to look at while driving. Thank you, Wheelmate!

The sleeves actually help a lot if you're playing games. My hands get cold pretty easily and when they do they get incredibly stiff and throb with pain, and with a blanket I either had to deal with it or bury my hands and controller under the blanket which led to me messing up quite a bit. Snuggie just came and treated my hands like princesses

Once I figured out I had to peel the
banana before using - it works much
better.
Ordering one for my nephew who's in the
air force in California. He's been using an
old slinky to slice his banana's. He should
really enjoy this product!

Quote
I tried the banana slicer and found it
unacceptable. As shown in the picture, the
slices is curved from left to right. All of my
bananas are bent the other way.

Quote
For decades I have been trying to come up
with an ideal way to slice a banana. "Use a
knife!" they say. Well...my parole officer
won't allow me to be around knives.
"Shoot it with a gun!" Background
check...HELLO! I had to resort to carefully
attempt to slice those bananas with my
bare hands. 99.9% of the time, I would get
so frustrated that I just ended up squishing
the fruit in my hands and throwing it
against the wall in anger. Then, after a fit
of banana-induced rage, my parole officer
introduced me to this kitchen marvel and
my life was changed. No longer consumed
by seething anger and animosity towards
thick-skinned yellow fruit, I was able to
concentrate on my love of theatre and am
writing a musical play about two lovers
from rival gangs that just try to make it in
the world. I think I'll call it South Side
Story.
Banana slicer...thanks to you, I see
greatness on the horizon.
