And "It Overtakes Me" has more than enough sonic assault to cover the rest of the album. It's definitely the stoner-top-down-stereo-cranking driving song of the summer.

John, I think you're duty-bound now to give it a try and report back. So, has anyone tried this thing out? John, I think you’re duty-bound now to give it a try and report back.

Everywhere? Why would anyone want to get rid of a secondary sexual characteristic? What next? Mastectomies for all? John Quiggin might be sceptical of this idea too. Shaving? Everywhere? Why would anyone want to get rid of a secondary sexual characteristic?
What next? Mastectomies for all?

John Quiggin might be sceptical of this idea too.

It may just be the only thing I've ever agreed wholeheartedly with Andrew Sullivan about. Nice how the Norelco ad links body hair to body odor, effectively making it a question not of personal tastes or aesthetics, but of hygiene: Sure, you can just leave it alone the "natural" way, as long as you don't mind stinking! Oh, and before I forget: "depila-Tories" is brilliant. A gold star for John. There. I've done what I could.
