Surfers are oohlala

I just got back from spending the afternoon and evening at the beach. I hope I got rid of my farmer's tan at least just a little bit. That's considered like, a fashion obscenity in San Diego's surf culture, to have an uneven tan. That's why you never see any old Californians - they get so leathery after so many years that they are transported to

Gosh, that one was funny. I had to add it to my memories... I'll soon be starting up a JC section of my memories.

I don't have much to say in response... But anyway, particular tidbits I enjoyed:

(...well, EVERYTHING, but particularly...)

- I hope I got rid of my farmer's tan at least just a little bit. That's considered like, a fashion obscenity in San Diego's surf culture, to have an uneven tan. That's why you never see any old Californians - they get so leathery after so many years that they are transported to the damp bayous of Louisiana to live the rest of their lives as alligators. I have nothing against Louisiana, I'm just saying.

- I Wikipedia'd it. 'Cuz, you know, knowledge is power.

- Because you should at least know what killed you, and it's not cool blaming crocodiles for alligator attacks and vice-versa. But when in doubt, the easiest way to tell is to smack it on the head and scream at it, "J-LO IS GOING TO WEAR YOU!" If it goes away, it's a crocodile, since J-Lo doesn't wear alligator skins.

- And speaking of J-Ho, I found out that she rubs the placenta extracted from feti (fetuses?) under her eyes to keep her looking young. And that's only one of the four items she puts on her face alone for her beauty regimen. She really is the devil.

You know about botox and such, right? That that whole botulism treatment is essentially derived from a horrendous bacterial disease you can get from Something something botulinum, which is caused by bacteria building up in mostly improperly canned vegetables? It causes massive muscle contractions, so for them to spritz it into your face, it thus tightens the muscles in your face and makes you look "younger"?
... I probably explained that in less than professional terminology, but you said that knowledge IS power, and I'm feeling mighty! :D

I am so very very flattered! Oh and I like your icon too, lol.

Botox is the refined toxin from the botulinum bacteria, and botox at its full strength is 6 million times more poisonous than ratthesnake venom. Every single dose of botox that has been used has been harvested from a single batch of the bacteria, originating back to 1979. This is the one and only batch that the FDA has ever approved. Before its cosmetic use, botox was used to treat neurological disorders that included cramps, spasms, and twitches.

I summarized it. (: Oh, and it's not spritzed on your face, it's injected directly into the procerus and orbicularis oculi. I would not want that shit in my body. I think the majority of people who get it don't really know the full 411 on what's being done and how and where from.

Gawd I miss Anatomy... :-p
