Killer Toothpaste

I am writing this post in order to warn fellow members of society that using Colgate’s Whitening with Oxygen Bubbles Brisk Mint presents a greater danger to your health than not brushing your teeth at all. I bought this toothpase out of curiosity; what does toothpaste need oxygen bubbles for? Who knows! What an adventure! Or so I thought…

I did a Google search to find the answer to this question, but instead found numerous reviews describing pain and suffering resulting from this toothpaste. Sissies, I thought, a little burn helps kill the germs. I’m afraid to say that I am now one of those sissies.

After about two days of using the oxygen-bubbled toothpaste I developed an extremely painful soreness in my throat. I thought for a while that it was an unrelated illness, but remembering the reviews online I decided to try using a different toothpaste for a few days.

Not 24 hours after ceasing to use the oxygen bubble toothpaste the soreness had almost entirely vanished. I may be a fan of Colgate in general, but this is one product I will never ever buy again.

Karate And Friendship Day

The most important day of the year is rapidly approaching. That’s right; this Friday is National Karate and Friendship Day. Be sure to challenge as many opponents as possible to one-on-one karate clinic contests. Dayman style.

Oh and friendship. Don’t forget the friendship.

Papermate Visibility

As an amateur pen-spinner I often spend inordinate amounts of time in the pen aisle in Staples. Today a particular pack caught my eye: Papermate Visibility. This particular pack, unlike the one to the left, had colored pens in it.

Being stupid, I automatically assumed that the pens had black ink. The colored casing must be for funsies. No.

I now have five (5) Visibility pens: green, blue, red, pink, purple. What the fuck am I going to do with a pink pen? The only one of those colors that’s even remotely practical is blue.

Not that the blue pen is useful. The ball point is so miserably bad for writing that it’s almost easier to just scratch your words into the page.

On the bright side, the Visibility is incredible for spinning. It’s light, well-balanced, and reasonably long. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the only pen better than the Visibility for spinning is the Bic Soft Feel Clic Stic. Maybe the Pentel RSVP is better. I’m still on the fence on that one.

I think I just came in my pants
