LOL, during the peak of the "beer as shampoo" trend of the 70s we younguns used to ask for cans of beer from our parents for "shampoo". None of those beers made it into our hair, but into our gullets come Saturday night.
I remember all too well. My girlfriend at the time used that shampoo, and not only was her hair fabulous, it also smelled great. If I smelled it today I would be instantly transported to that wondrous time in my life.
I do! I got busted with some pals for being drunk on school grounds (it wasn’t even my school) and when the authority haver said “I smell alcohol” I responded “it’s my shampoo!”.
I was at a school demonstration of a portable BAC gizmo, the fellow demonstrating used a squirt of Binaca or similar "for simulation purposes", then blew a level not compatible with life. Like .7 or something.
He didn't realize it, but he'd taught everyone how to beat his breathalyzer
How would blowing a .7 beat the breathalyzer? Just by reading way too much alcohol? Seems like that would be the opposite of beating it, but I'm not very familiar with their operation at the technical level.
"If it worked and I really had a blood alcohol level that high I'd be dead, Court should dismiss the reading as evidence". Here's a doctor to tell you how dead I'd be.
I remember being violently allergic to Prell shampoo. That stuff caused me to swell up and sprout hives everywhere anytime I got anywhere near a tube of that green detergent.
Um ... it was? Guess I can't ask you to repeat such a joke here, what little decorum there is around here being what it is. Even we have standards, low as they are.
“ (She officially quit the party in December, when she changed her registration to independent, after her centrist positions and rejection of some liberal priorities caused irreparable fissures with many Democrats.)”
And by that, NBC means Hot Topic repeatedly derailed bills by making incoherent and other inconsistent demands, often swooping in at the last minute after months of painstaking negotiations.
And yes, it is telling that her “path to victory” involves getting more support from republicans than democrats.
I've seen a lot of them, and the tone shifts so wildly, and it is impossible to really rank them (Sorry Internet). Tennant had that certain devil-may-care charisma though.
LA Times links suck, the cheap bastards. They won't even let you view the teaser and scan the ads without a subscription. Quote the good parts or fergitaboudid, plz.
I took the Marina Freeway a lot when I lived in LA. It was indeed the Richard M. Nixon Freeway then, and every time we'd exit off the 405 onto it and saw that sign everyone in the car - with utmost maturity - would make a loud raspberry.
Bankman-Fried on his first day of prison should go up to biggest, meanest, ugliest, tattooed bastard in the yard, and punch him right in the face. That will take care of his first 6 months. Not in the yard, in the medical unit.
“Under the banner “Kyrsten’s Path to Victory,” the document says Sinema can win by attracting 10% to 20% of Democrats, 60% to 70% of independents and 25% to 35% of Republicans”
Funny story. When they first ordered the banner it was delivered and it said “Krysten’s Path to More Grifting”
Do you remember Body on Tap shampoo? Its tv ad is your hed gif source, via Bionic Disco: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/body-on-tap-shampoo
Hmm, if memory serves, body shampoos died a horrible bloody death. No woman wants any hint she's covered with hair.

My dad drank Schaeffer though (yech)
Isn't that Kim Basinger?
It is! (I put that bit of trivia in my linked article)
'80s shampoo commercials were the best. Anybody remember Agree shampoo and its in-your-face jingle: "Have YOU got the greasies??"
LOL, I would have thought that would have been one I would have remembered, but I don't. Maybe I missed it.

I don't, but now I'm remembering a guy driving a sedan singing about Selsun Blue to a Niel Diamond tune.
I have always been partial to the "Me and My Arrow" car commercials.

I get The Point ;)
I Dippity Do not.
I do! I got busted with some pals for being drunk on school grounds (it wasn’t even my school) and when the authority haver said “I smell alcohol” I responded “it’s my shampoo!”.

Urban legend said that drinking Zima would not register on a BAC 🤦♂️
Yikes, a marketing urban legend aimed at those who plan ahead...
Binaca cured everything

Easily refuted evidence is no evidence at all
Good defense in court.
"If it worked and I really had a blood alcohol level that high I'd be dead, Court should dismiss the reading as evidence". Here's a doctor to tell you how dead I'd be.
And a fireman to tell you how flammable I'd be.
"Sure, Bub."
I barely remember having a full head of hair.
We had a shampoo that smelled just like an orange creamsicle. So I tried it ...
Better when chilled...
LOL, oh no! I imagine you were disappointed.
Great taste!
Less filling!
It was also a floor wax!
"Ancient Chinese secret."
It's also a floor wax
You're soaking in it!
"It's a dessert topping, youi cow!"
Should have read down.
There sure are a lot of us old folk in this vicinity!
Mmmm, snark enriched.
Thanks, I totally remembered this ad, awesome reuse, Tini.
Never heard of that one. Did your hair smell like beer? Yum!
I DO remember Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific.
And Prell. EVERYbody remembers Prell.
I remember being violently allergic to Prell shampoo. That stuff caused me to swell up and sprout hives everywhere anytime I got anywhere near a tube of that green detergent.
Gee Your Hair Smells Like You Woke in a Puddle of Beer?
You're soaking in it.
DISHWASHING LIQUID?
The Emperor?
Not much difference between the two....
I DO remember Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific.
I remember Gee your hair smells terrific was the punch line to one of the more insensitive grosser than gross jokes
And considering the material, insensitive is really saying somethin'
I loved that shit and I used to be wicked vain about my hair
Um ... it was? Guess I can't ask you to repeat such a joke here, what little decorum there is around here being what it is. Even we have standards, low as they are.
That reminds me, I need to vote today.
So...not a convicted felon?
Of course I remember it - I used it!
Whar Main 'n Tail?
Did it smell good?
Yes! And my hair felt good too.
Mine does after soaking in sea water.
Which it did yesterday.
I remember calgon supposed to be taking you away to a tropical paradise where a buff young man serves you some fruity drink
Never happened once. 2/10 would not be taken away again
The first time I ever drove over 100 mph was on what we tried to call the Marina Freeway because fuck nixon. Imagine trying that now anywhere in LA!

I'm a little late to the party here, but if the Harebreed guy, the one who wrote "Destroy Everything" calls Trump a clown, I'm all on board.

Thanks for the Doctor Who reminder, SER. I always love me some Donna - Doctor.
"Hold my calls this November."
I believe I am the only person on Earth who thinks that David Tennant was the worst Doctor Who.
I've seen a lot of them, and the tone shifts so wildly, and it is impossible to really rank them (Sorry Internet). Tennant had that certain devil-may-care charisma though.
I have just read that Ncuti Gatwa, the charming actor from Sex Education is going to be the next Dr Who and I am thrilled.

What's LOL about Sinema's numbers is that the high end for the Dems is lower than the low end for the Repulsivicons!
"the Richard M. Nixon Freeway"
I took the Marina Freeway a lot when I lived in LA. It was indeed the Richard M. Nixon Freeway then, and every time we'd exit off the 405 onto it and saw that sign everyone in the car - with utmost maturity - would make a loud raspberry.
I lived in Playa del Rey when it opened, and it was a great shortcut until it got more well-known.

Oh who would have thought the two Texas mega donors were religious nuts?
