ludens are good for nothing

Interesting. Gillette's got the first disposable electric razor. And I'm not a guy, but I can't imagine I'd want pulsing razor blades a micron from my skin. That's just me.

The police in Wisconsin are just going nuts. They love to set up speed traps just over the border to catch all the Illinois people on the way in to work. I see no less than six cops every day, usually three per trip. They use unmarked cars, speed traps, and my new favorite: Parking on an overpass to get the extra reach on the radar gun and be out of the normal range. They then radio to other cars further down who's been naughty. I understand that if I don't like it, I should just follow the limit. But I've seen them pull people over on a clear, uncrowded day for doing maybe five miles above the limit. Wisconsin's major sources of revenue: Cheese, porn, and tickets.

Ah! The conceptual violation! That razor is the crazy love child of a buck knife and a vibrating Sander. The whole point of not having an electric razor is the primal appeal of sculpting a new physiognomy, cleaving whisker from chin, a caress of vulnerable flesh by naked blades, unmediated by mechanism or artifice. This hybrid electric/disposable razor exposes the lie of primitivism buried in the hypermodern materials and design of modern razors, in a way that is impossible to ignore.
Plus, it's a cheesy gimmick and is expensive to boot.

*sigh* You're all a bunch of hairless techie freak-os. If you want to risk death, fine. But please use approved SCJ products whenever possible.
