some people really like to take long showers and drain all the hot water, are you one of those people? others could care less and get in and get out. how many minutes do you spend in the shower in the morning?

i like a good 20 minute shower.

what about you?

Just enough time to get clean.


Clint Eastwood directed a film called
Firefox, in which the main character
takes a shower for a couple of hours.
- so long, he has time for an extended
dream/flashback whilst standing in
the shower of power.

I told you before to leave me alone, but no, you had to keep following me. And then there was the restraining order, and the...

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

I like to shower only one day each month. But it's a 20 hour shower, so it all works out.

Why don't you do it in the shower? You'll save money on tube socks.

Slick shoes?! Are you crazy?!

I found this a while ago in the lounge:

For myself, I spend approx. 10 minutes. Less if I take the shower together wit my girlfriend because I hate f***ing in the shower and take her elsewhere.

Bout 30-45 minutes ...15 minutes of that is time usually just standing in the warm shower, then shaving is about 10 minutes (depending on what i'm shaving), and the actually scrubbing and cleaning is probably about 15 minutes... and now that i just recently got my naval pierced, that's like an extra chore to clean.

I hear it's good for the hair, I recommend rubbing it in into your scalp.

Oh wait, maybe I'm thinking of shampoo.

My wife is often amazed because I can shower, shave, groom, and get dressed in under 15 minutes.

The shower portion is about 7 minutes.

For all the bitching of ankle_brains threads, it's funny/sad to see how much attention and responses they get compared to the other (even worse) topics that are out there...

Maybe. There are two types: Some are actually fairly interesting (about 20%). And then there are the super-mundane ones (diapers?). The stupid ones usually get filled with derailing attempts.

The general synopsis is anything asking "Your favorite x and why?" is an a_b thread, and will end up being scorned by general opinion. It's not so much the content as the frequency of the threads.
We need less Democrats and Republicans, and more people that think for themselves.

I am convinced that the only reason any of then get replied to is because people are obsessed with upping their post count. I mean, look at any of a_b's threads that get a half-decent response, and 80% of the replies will be incredibly short, completely mundane answers to his already mundane question.
