Belly buttons seem to have been invented specifically for the purpose of poking, and I'm cool with that :)

And yeah, I have no idea what the hell happened, but I went from people thinking I shaved/waxed my chest and stomach to having all this useless hair. Thankfully, it's not thick and burly and nasty like an outside-dog-fur-coat, but it still sometimes makes me think, "Where did that come from and what purpose could it possibly serve?"

You know, you should always be careful when playing around with one's belly button, Jerry The Belly Button Elf might be lurking there.

On a more topici matter(not much though) Catherine Cheetah Jones sure was pretty whe she was in "Darling Buds of May" Perrrrfec!

Finally on the topic, it's about time we get rid of those twiggy heroin addict models and get some real people in commercials.

"Thats right. You just keep playin' with your navel. One of these days, it's gonna burst open, and all the air is gonna come wooshing out of you. You'll fly around the room like a balloon for a minute, and then land, flat as a piece of paper.

I used to carry a bandaid around with me just in case."

WOOP!

Does that mean I'll be all skinny?

*hides all bandaids*

*pokes around a little more*

Aw dang. Now I can't be in a Dove advert...it was my only hope at stardom!

Good God, I pulled up this thread at work thinking that things in the Politics forum would at least be safe. Thanks, Deacon. Thanks a lot.

Exactly, and that's why she doesn't feature in these ads.

Yes, thanks Deacon. First you preach to us about how we should all be in perfect shape and blah blah blah. Then, you show us your not-exactly-toned-and-quite-hairy belly, and then Rorschach comes in and shows us his belly button of DOOOOOM....

I had something to say on topic, but those bellies just threw me off. Thanks a lot, guys. Bah.

Rorschach has a belly button of doom? My god. I really am screwed. If his is doom, mine is....the entrance to frickin Hades or something...

One of these days I'm gonna hit oil in there.
