Entry tags:otf_wank's thoughts on showering, shower wank (not the fun kind)

If you like hot showers, YOU ARE A SNIVELING, WEAK WASTE OF SPACE
Jeffrey Wells is here to tell you that if you take showers that last more than three minutes, you might as well be a drug-addled addict hiding away and shivering in a cave somewhere, wishing only for sweet, sweet death the comforting warmth of your mother's womb.

"I was reminding myself this morning that it's a sign of weak character to take long showers. Anyone who does this is a soft sister -- a person looking to hide inside the warm amniotic fluid of his mother's womb, which is what a nice hot shower feels like. This realization goes back to when I was in my early 20s. If I happened to notice that a roommate or some guy or girl who was staying over was taking ten- or twelve-minute showers (or worse), I would instantly write them off.

Those who take extra-long hot showers are the same people who take extra-long breaks or lunches in order to get away from office drudgery, or who hide away inside an alcoholic or nicotine or drug cave. Your average enterprising, disciplined, hard-working types take four- or five-minute showers, at the longest. If you're really hard-core you've finished in less than three. No exceptions, no excuses -- either you get it or you don't."


ETA: Oh yeah, unrelated but relevant link.

So, sane people, then?

What, did he wake up one morning and ask himself what inane and insipidly stupid topic he could rant about? Or did he just put up a bunch of words on his fridge and throw plastic darts at them to pick a word to be offended by today?

Or did someone give him some extra stupid with his coffee that morning? Perhaps aliens landed on the rim as he was drinking?

We may never know.

I forget, is Zac Bertschy the incredibly wanky Hey Answerman from ANN, or the other relatively less-wanked one? Because... wow.


Jeff, speaking as a longtime fan of yours who has learned a lot from you about writing and about film, I gotta tell you, this kind of thing is getting really old and tiresome and I really wish you'd stop.

People throw a lot of really unfair insults at you, and I've always hated that, but it's getting to the point where your writing is legitimately repellant.

5 years ago I'd have been absolutely delighted to meet you and shake your hand and tell you how big a fan I am of your writing - and yeah, I have been following your work that long and you've been an inspiration to me since college - but now I'd be terrified of meeting you just based on how ludicrously judgmental you seem to be.

Like if I shake my Sweet & Low packet more than twice, I'm a completely unsophisticated assclown in your eyes. Who knows what seemingly random nonsense you'd judge me on? Who knows whether or not you'd blog about what a fucking knuckle-dragging faggot moron I am for ordering the vinaigrette rather than the low-sodium italian?

If you'd asked me even 2 years ago who I'd rather meet and talk to - Jeff Wells or Ben Lyons - I'd have said 'Jeff Wells' in a heartbeat. What an honor to have even a few moments with one of my heroes.

Now, I'd rather suffer the vapid company of Ben Lyons for a few minutes than be judged by you.


Buuuuurn. ... I think? (Quick, Robin, to the Googlecave!)

Someone wants to validate why they don't like to shower, I think.

Makes me want to jump in the shower just to get the ew of reading what I did read off me.

You know, when I'm hopping in a hot shower I generally don't go "WHOOHOOO! WOMB JUICE!"

In fact, wombs generally don't work their way into my thought process unless I'm cramping up a storm or something, and then I'm usually cursing its insistence on being a horrible horrible internal organ.

I take six-minute showers - because we are in a drought. To conserve water. Believe me, if I could get away with having twenty-minute showers, I would be all over that shit.

Funnily, German slang knows the word "Warmduscher" ("one who takes warm showers"), which roughly translates as "wimp".

I'm just baffled that he has so much rage towards what must be the average time people spend in the shower. His comments are so batshit and OTT.

Because MANLY men don't take girly showers; they bare their odor shamelessly!

Really, though. This has got to be some form of satire, right?

...Right?

Otherwise I'm sure this guy's wondering why no one wants to go out with him.

Three-minute showers? What a wimp! I bet he sleeps on silk sheets under fluffy pink eiderdowns and whines like a puppy when his wittle toesies get cold.

Real men make do with a washcloth and a bowl of lukewarm water, three times a week. Weaklings who shower? I write them off.

So are they supposed to get their shower wanking done there in that three minutes? Does that include rinsing the shower down afterwards?

Ah, what am I saying? Surely if hot showers make you a weenie man, actually getting yourself off makes you some kind of ultra-femme hyper girl (regardless of physical gender).

Okay!

I believe I shall continue to take my long-ass showers because I was encouraged to enjoy them. So I shall.

The only thing that gets me to stop before I want to be finished is the hot water tank running out of hot water, and we've fixed that since it burst and got replaced.

Also, Illidan Stormrage has no time for him. He has a hot boyfriend to have sex with.
