Follies of the Madmen #198

Sloggis? Really? Isn't that the worst name for briefs?

Still in business, so it must work, I guess.

With posters like these around Athens I hardly notice the name.

Hay! Alex. What's up with the image link thing?

Are these supposed to absorb gallons of moisture? What was with the two wringing out the product?

According to my on-site expert in that area, they hold their shape! And, for what they cost they should be doing a whole lot more than just that!

Expat -- we had some complaints about parts of the site being NSFW because of images posted in the comments. So because WU is supposed to be SFW, we decided to reduce the titillation factor and yank the images. And faced with the choice of going through all 6000 pages of comments and vetting the images one-by-one, or just turning off all the images en masse, I went with the latter option, because I'm lazy, and because from a security standpoint it gives the spammers one less avenue to exploit. We were hoping no one would really notice, but you did!

Wow, check out that '80s BIG hair! I was never fond of the style myself.

@Alex: Thanks but we noticed. 😊

@ Alex & Expat - I don't mean this (at this time).
