What is it with this prohibition against showing pubic hair?


I think it's considered the ultimate in obscene. But don't trim down there. Or the other women at the sauna will consider you a *beep*. Long time ago Playboy used to air brush out trim because it was considered very obscene.

year one: a fish tank and several fish...managed to keep them alive for 8 months then the water went slimy and they died.

year two: a 2 or 3 month old raw chicken in the fridge. My next door neighbor was also a new teacher and when I went over to introduce myself I found a note saying that he had pulled a midnight run. Looted the apartment of all the good pots and pans, traded fridges and while snooping around the apartment discovered over 20 bars of soap(brand new) They were in every cupboard, under the sink, in drawers, under the bed etc...could have been his idea of air freshener?

year three: 100+coat hangers, a dozen lighters, 16 bags of garbage, an inch of dirt and nicotine throughout the apartment. Window sills were packed with dirt to the brim. Assorted mold and mildew. Oh yeah now the trash...3 peach colored saucers Laughing

Or a lovely, thoughtful Chusok gift pack?

somebody posted about that a few days ago on a blog i follow. they said that their granny had taught them to unwrap soap after buying it and leave it in a cupboard or drawer. apparently, if you let the soap dry out for several days before using it, it lasts much longer in the bath. also serves as an air freshener for your cupboards. apparently somebody has the same granny.

Pyongshin, super-c*ck-tease that you are, please do tell.

And, by the way, did you find your mates last Friday night? Up past the Burger King? S-Man and I never did meet up with you again, that night. Smile

Oh! (**Wailing and gnashing of teeth.**) How can the one and only Mayor of Haebangchon deny us so?!

b) (Khyklopes smile).

No can do. I'll tell you next time I see you. Yes, Friday was allright. Actually, I can't remember a lot of it. Betty Ford, here I come.

My kitchen sink drain clogged up a week after I moved into one of my apartments, so I went fishing around down in there with my (bare) hand. Pulled up some old food and what I presume was a used condom, as it was sans wrapper and not rolled up.
