Almost as Bad: TOO MUCH AXE (and how to do it right)

Beryllium

... Or too much Old Spice. Or Aspen Cologne. Or Febreeze. Too much of anything will send your fellow PAXers gagging.



How much is enough?

Here's the formula: Spray, Delay, then Walk Away.



Let's break it down:


1) Instead of spraying it directly onto yourself, spray it up into the air in front of you. You'll see a cloud of droplets hanging in the air.

2) Close your eyes and hold your breath.

3) Walk through the cloud of droplets-- and you're done!



You'll need one, maybe two pumps of the bottle, maximum.

Some men will think that they screwed up somehow because they can't smell their own cologne. This is because your brain is used to the smell of your own cologne. Everyone else can smell it just fine.

Cologne is never a substitute for a shower with soap and deodorant.

Thank you !

Maybe I'm just under-sensitive but I've never felt that the smell was as bad as others seem to believe it was. Three years ago, sure I'll give you that. But I don't think it's been enough of a problem recently to warrant an entire thread.

If I do indeed come across someone who smells like they bathed in cologne, I will surely retract this statement.

Also, there was already a thread similar to this (though it is now locked), and I'm sure many posts throughout other threads as well.

How dare you expect people to read threads before posting? :P

It's great that a person wants to smell good but there is such a thing as too much. People who cover themselves in any kind of sent make me barf. It's almost as bad as BO when they douse themselves in it. >_<

The last two years at the Seattle Convention Center haven't been bad at all. It was only back at the Meydenbauer Center that the stench was terrible.

BigRed

Yeah the MBC was the bad thing. Theres very little BO in the WSCTC. The AC keeps it cool.
Theres individuals who smell sometimes, but very limited.

MetaverseNomad

man, hasn't there been enough of this already? some people smell.

BigRed

Yeah, some people just smell.
Its way better than it used to be.

Its a convention, deal with it. These threads dont help at all.

From now on when somebody posts one of these threads, I will leave them a little gift.

Seriously though, it should be common sense now, and BigRed is right, it's hardly even an issue anymore in the WSCTC.

Thank you for making me lose, you jackass. I'd been winning for quite some time.

Fuck.

If I see you at PAX I'm pushing you over.

Coldbrew

Hey you didn't have to read the thread. :P

You're lucky though, I'm constantly loosing, from just about everybody I work with, to fricken Coors Light commercials.

Why do people feel the need to give hygiene tips on here? It's not going to make a difference. Anybody who doesn't shower, does so because they don't give a fuck or have some kind of mental problem. I'm guessing nobody is going to have a life changing revelation, regarding the way they apply body spray, from this thread.

Thing the same goes for the girls as well, Don't pour the bottle on you..

BigRed, I know you'll be wearing the traditional PAX enforcer black shirt this year, but they should really get a special lime one made just for you.
