    In fact, Old Spice should have been enlisted as a sponsor.

    All handing out trial size deodorant for those that need it.

    Also, to the fatties:

    not to be mean, but you guys can overpower the deodorant you use quite quickly, so bring some with you and apply it in intervals

    Not just deodorant, get antiperspirant.

    When I went to my local store to pick up some antiperspirant for PAX, I was surprised at how many sticks were just deodorants and not antiperspirants. About 95% of the stock was just deodorant.

    I suspect that the biggest offender isn't the lack of deoderant, it's the lack of bathing/wearing the same clothes for multiple days.

    I remember reading an article that had an interview with Booth Babes and they said that the only people they felt comfortable around were the guys that smelled like soap (read: bathed) or Asians.

    Moral of the story? PLEASE bathe. Or be asian. Whichever is easier. :P

    People in need of a shower will be clubbed in the back of the head with a PS3, dragged to the nearest shower and a bum off the street will be paid $10 to make you come out smelling "nice and purtty"

    IGN and Gamestop will award later award this as the best use of a PS3 in 06-07.

    Guys. GUYS. Deodorant IS NOT the same thing as antiperspirant. Deodorant tries (and often fails) to hide or nulify body odor. Antiperspirant (and this is the kicker) prevents you from sweating IN THE FIRST PLACE. You have no excuse not to wear antiperspirant unless, like me, you are allergic to it. (But I have perscription antiperspirant, so not even that can stop me!)

    Well, I'll be damned. Hmmm....it does say it offers 24 hour protection. Is that protection from perspiration, perhaps? I'm asking here. I don't know.

    I never wear anything other than anti-perspirant, there's no point. Deodorant lasts about 4 hours with me and then it's Stink City, population; Me.

    The basic deal is this: if your stuff has an ingredient that has the word aluminum in it (such as aluminum zirconium tetraclorohydrex gly or aluminum hydroxybromide), it's an antiperspirant. If it doesn't, it probably isn't.
