Think about this next time you go 'tanning'

[reverendflash]

In addition to the deadly gamma rays, there's another reason to avoid those icky tanning salons.http://www.thesmokinggun.com/graphics/art3/mhuffmaninside.jpg It seems that the owners of these businesses like to secretly videotape patrons as they disrobe and enter those glowing pods. The latest creep to get nailed for such cinema verite is Mark Huffman, the 43-year-old owner of Maximum Exposure, an aptly named Reading, Ohio tanning joint. Huffman, pictured in the above mug shot from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, was nabbed earlier this week when a male customer noticed what appeared to be a camera hidden in a wall fan, according to the below Reading Police Department report. When cops arrived, they found evidence of Huffman's clandestine taping operation, as well as pot plants and kiddie ****.

too late for me :(
i have been spending toomuch time on beach..live just 20 mtrs away :(

[DariusMonsef]

Two can play at this game...

.. when I go in today to tan I'll use my camera phone to take pictures of the fans... now look who's in control...

[RenaissanceGirl]

I will never understand the whole tanning salon thing. I mean, I have a good tan all the time, but that comes from spending a lot of time outdoors. I guess I'd rather go out hiking instead of napping in a human rotisserie oven.

[reverendflash]

instant skin cancer, just line up and pay money...

Thats what I was thinking...

pay money for smokes get cancer.
pay money for tan get cancer.

don't make no sense to me.....

[prstudio]

ROFL ethan!

My skin is naturally kinda dark...minimum sun does the trick.

[kirupa]

I was born with a tan - best of all, my skin doesn't peel in the sun either. Yay for genetic mutations :beam:

[Digigamer]

If I were to go to a tanning salon I would get sun burnt

[thoriphes]

that's kinda the point ;)

[DariusMonsef]

little did the salon know I snuck in my hidden camera phone and took this shot of the fan...

[mdipi]

lol ethan

[CanadianGuy]

Ethan, your posts crack me up! Honestly, since that 'Nerd Grooming' thread you posted I have a picture of you in my head as some arm shaving, eyebrow plucking, hairstyling, moisturising, makeup wearing, spend an hour in front of the mirror GQ kinda guy. lol. (this probably all isn't true)

You remind me of a friend of mine who I asked to help me cut firewood one time and he shows up looking like we're headed out to the club. Here I am in my work boots and coveralls ready to drive tractors, use chainsaws, and get dirty in the process and he's wearing dress shoes, a nice white sweater and brand new jeans. About an hour into the day he's pissed off because he got dirt on his new jeans. Meanwhile I'm shaking my head and wondering why the hell he got all dressed up for cuttin' wood.

To this day he swears he's never worked as hard as he did that day, but the reality of it was that we mostly drank beer and had a really sad looking pile of wood at the end of the day. lol

Btw I didn't write to try to demean Ethan in anyway I was simply expressing my thoughts on how different our lifestyles can be.

Cheers

No No, You hit that nail pretty much on the head.

But as far as the wood cutting story goes, I know how to do hard work. I chose not to as I like my soft hands, but I can get dirty with the best of them.

[Kitiara]

Tanning salons are probably meant for people like me, who are inherantly pale. :)

Problem is that no matter how much I go out in the sun, I just don't tan. Alright, so the weather over here isn't exactly conducive to getting that healthy glow, but in the summer there're people who step outside for 10 mins and ping! Golden brown. I just do nothing. And no, I don't burn either.

I'm just about as white as you can get. :sure:

Right on man.

Kit, my ex gf was like you. She was pretty white and doesn't get tanned very well. But she did an experiment. Lay in the sun and keep time. My ex noticed after ~23min she starts to tan before burning. By that factor, she was able to get a slight tan!

PS. Careful not to fall asleep.

too long indoors with FF 1 - X.

you could take your GBA SP out no and play and tan.

Its never too late!

[reverendflash]

I don't tan, I just burn and peel... so I don't spend a lot of time in the open sun, it just causes too much pain in the end.

and EthanM:

down south we have a name for you guys:

Dandy Boys

not gay, but take as long as women in the bathroom to get ready...

lol. Truthfully I wish my hands weren't so ruff and scarred. I've had a couple of girlfriends comment on my callous.' Seriously, what can I do to get rid of my callous'? Currently it's like I have four ball bearings embedded in my skin. I've tried biting them off but that just makes them worse and I can't work well with gloves on.

[reverendflash]

the callus is there to protect your hand. doing something to remove them, then going out and doing the work that created them is just asking for blisters, and other injuries.

the best way to get rid of a callus, is to avoid work with your hands. Once you have reached 30 or so, your habits are pretty well ingrained, and you will prob not get rid of any callus' you have already created (which is why I refused to "toughen" my hands in the kitchen, and used towels to insulate the hot conatiners).

BTW - these same women who complained about your rough hands... they would have complained about you not being a 'real man' if you weren't the way you are... ;)

i dunno, i could be wrong.

[reverendflash]

I've heard that as well Thor...

I have a couple of friends who have had skin cancer, both 10 years younger than I...

I just don't spend time in the open sun, if I can avoid it. I wear hats, long sleeves, rarely wear shorts (cut off trousers for your Brits) when I go to outdoor music events.

but I will gladly sit in a smoke filled room drinking Potato Vodka and listening to live music...

Yeah right, no self gratification !!!!!!!!
That’s only gonna create more work for my g/f and she isn’t gonna like that ! :)

[CanadianGuy]

lol. Vulcan

When I was 15 or 16 and I got my first callous I was so proud!

it sounds like you need to become friends with the "hand lotion" bottle...

:D

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif

[The_Vulcan]

I am sure your advice comes from experience reverendflash :)

[reverendflash]

Logic tells me that if you have gotten callous' from self gratisfaction, then you need to 'lube' up...

;)

that is all.

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif

[The_Vulcan]

Well I can’t argue against that logic…..

I tried to come up with a reason why it was illogical for you to make that assumption, and hence you must have drawn the conclusion from personal experience.

But alas I could not. :(

[DariusMonsef]

Despite my best efforts I still have a few rough spots on my hands from lifting eights, I could use gloves I suppose.

And I'm ok with being a Dandy Boy. I always have been and always will be. Live fast and die pretty is my motto.

Maybe you should date a different kind of girls :P I think rough hands are a good sign that someone knows how to work hard. Plus... I know I would feel weird dating a guy who has softer hands than I! In any case, get yourself some shea butter and rub it on your hands. That should soften them up a bit without making you a dandy boy. Do NOT bite them off. That will make the callous grow back thicker.

But spending 2-3 hours a day primping isn't exactly Living Fast now is it?

sounds to me like the problems of a high maintenance female, without a single benefit...

Just My Opinion on Men's primping to extreme...

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif

[DariusMonsef]

I only spend maybe 1 1/2 hours a day, and there is a single benefit...

...Being Pretty
and hanging out with other pretty people
and having a breathtaking celebrity girlfriend

[reverendflash]

still, 1 1/2 per day, plus time in a spa, plus time in a tanning paint studio, plus hair salon...

not exactly a fast lifestyle tho...

sounds like being with pretty people is very high on your list. congrats on acheiving your goals.

Rev, you must know most of this is tongue in cheek.

Yes I spend time grooming and I care about my appearance. I model when I can and stay current on my grooming.

The live fast de pretty line is from a punk rock t-shirt.

[reverendflash]

I understand, but you are the one making this lifestyle look glamorous... be prepared to get jabs back...

and this is my thread afterall, not EthanM's grooming defense league...

Well as long as we can all agree that Paris Hilton takes the cake for the

So it was a fashion thing not a statement?
