Homemade Soap Natural Soap

May 6, 2006 - 12:03pm

So my wife is now selling Homemade Soap. This soap is made by a friend of ours in Tennessee. We're hopeful that this will be a good thing for Jeanene. She sells homemade soap and natural soap.

Her website is http://www.natural-homemade-soap.com

Mileage
So the old brown Honda, once known as the bird-shit preacher car, just hit 300,000 miles. I think that's a pretty cool thing. I'm not a car guy. I want my cars to start and get me where I'm going. I have very little interest in their color or style. The Honda is my most favorite car ever. It has lasted this long because my dad used to own it, and he takes GREAT care of his cars.

Crushing Lillian
What? You say you don't believe I'm a real man after my soap confessions? Look at how I can crush Lillian's head with just two fingers. Grrrrr!

Pumpernickel
Look, I like pumpernickel bread as much as the next guy. But I've never thought it was some sort of aphrodisiac or whatever. Am I missing something? Anyone from Germany care to enlighten us?

Maybe it's the name. It does have a kind of rolling, earthy, naughty sound. Listen to it: "Come to me, my little pumpernickel."

Or maybe not.

--------------------

I probably shouldn't be allowed to have a camera phone. It's a wonder that I ever get any writing done.

OK. So, um, the Happy Morning Scrubby Bar is, in fact, scrubby, I take it?

Submitted by Althaea Officinalis on May 6, 2006 - 5:14pm.

Scrubby is as scrubby does. (yes, it has poppy seeds in it for scrub)

Pumpernickel sounds naughty if you break it up.

"I'd like to pumper her nickel."

See?

What if you get poppy seeds in "places"?
Will I be able to pass a drug test?
There are things I need to know.

I thought Lillian had enough digit crushing (or was that her sister?). Loved the entry, BSPB.

he he, this is great! I'm upset to find the nice soaps are only availible to the US at the moment... Maybe next time i'm in Camden Market I'll take a look at the handmade soap stall...

Submitted by Althaea Officinalis on May 7, 2006 - 8:52am.

Not true, not true! I ship internationally all the time. The *flat rate* shipping is only in the US, I have to charge actual postage for international orders. That's all. :)

Well,in the two years I've lived in Germany, I've found that breasts and biceps are used to market anything from beer to sauerkraut and bratwurst (and yes, even pumpernickel...)

oops, that last comment was me, not logged in

Ralf - the former rose oil guy
As a German currently living in the Westphalia region it has never occured to me that there could possibly be anything sexy about pumpernickel - nor has it to anyone else I am aquainted with.
Maybe the fun is somewhere else: It says "no preservatives" on the package. That always cracks me up because the German "Präservativ" translates into the English "condom". The couple diplayed might be needing one soon, but sorry, it is not to be found between some slices of hard bread. Or am I just not in touch with the latest sex practices?

Ok, I checked out the soap site and I'm sold on the soap so I'm signing up! Thanks for the voluntary tip! cenotez

That inadvertent reference to The Kids in the Hall just endeared you to me further, rlp. Assuming, of course, that you're aware of the Canadian sketch comedy troup by that name and their former syndicated TV show wherein one member had a recurring gag of crushing people's heads in just that manner. Otherwise you're just nuts.

Submitted by rlp on May 8, 2006 - 7:41am.

Oh it was definitely a reference to Kids in the Hall. I mean, I figured those who remember that would laugh, and those who didn't would think, well, that I'm crazy.

Submitted by Simian Farmer on May 8, 2006 - 12:35pm.

Ah, sweet!

I fondly recall the long-foretold showdown between the Head Crusher and his arch nemesis the Head Squeezer (crushed heads from the sides, rather than top and bottom, dontcha know).

Good times, good times.

I think I've heard before that the direct English translation of pumpernickel is "devil's fart." Doesn't quite go with the picture...or does it?!?

Never really tried Homemade soap-- though I'll admit to being tempted. Your pumpernickel thing is just hilarious!

My favorite soaps are Honeyed Amber, Clary Sage, and the Happy Morning Scrubbie Bar."

I am not normally one to offer suggestions on blogging but these two phrases might work better reversed if you wanted us to believe the 100% MAN part.

And soap can be manly by the way...ever seen Fight Club?

Submitted by rlp on May 9, 2006 - 6:35pm.

Yes, but it was supposed to sound like that. That's why I put it in italics. "I'm 100% man!" and then in a girlish voice, "my favorite soaps are..."

That was the intent.

I saw the pumpernickel in World Market yesterday. Reading the back of the pack does not help.

O I love Althaea's store...gee I wish it was mine! Or at least that her store was here in Atlanta.

Submitted by Sugar on May 13, 2006 - 4:09pm.

Oh! - that was me writing about wishing the store was in Atlanta. Sorry too much bottle of burp has been consumed! : Sugar

I want my car to get over 300K miles; it is a private ambition of mine to make it last at least twice as long as the payment plan.

Friendships pop up all over

It is amazing where people can meet people and create long lasting deep friendships. I have experienced this all over, from meeting people by chance on vacation, to posting in forums, to blogging, to fighting a common cause. All over people are meant to meet as they have a planned future, of some sort, together. The important thing is to keep your options open.

My reply

I use the slippery slope argument, especially when it comes to the Bible. I would say that my familiarity with the book leads me to this. There are some things I grant in faith.It is true in a way that is not dependent upon its historic verifiability.
