*breathing normally again*

I must say, I really enjoyed the line ending in “…a stick of something that smells like wildflowers and shame.”

So, just to clarify; there’s a zombie Robert Mitchum stalking you, making sure you’re taking care of your personal hygiene the Mitchum way?

Wow!!

*laughing fit begins again*

When I imagine Robert Mitchum returning from the grave to kick my ass, he’s not a zombie. If you’ve ever seen Ghost, imagine Mitchum in the Patrick Swayze role.

Wow. That would be awesome. No more crying or whining or erotic pottery (sorry, Righteous Brothers), just straight-up ass kicking with a side of droop-eyed sarcasm.

Anyway, that’s the Mitchum whose manly essence keeps me dry and odorless, and it is his unearthly, insubstantial spirit that will do to me what Patrick Swayze could only do to a penny should I ever switch deodorants.

But have you seen the Bruce Campbell version of that ad? Bruce Campbell exudes awesomeness.

I saw the ad on YouTube, and Bruce does, indeed, exude awesomeness.

I had the opportunity to see Mr. Campbell speak at Kent State University a few years ago. When he was interacting with the audience, it was a lot of fun. When he was clearly just reading an essay, it was a little lackluster.

Old Spice is all about surfing and Carmina Burana as far as I’m concerned. Please don’t tell me it isn’t 1977 anymore!

I didn’t have regular access to a television in 1977 (or 1978 through about 1985, for that matter), so I don’t associate Old Spice with any particular music or imagery. Laura tells me that she (who did have regular access to a television in her youth) doesn’t associate Old Spice with surfing or Carmina Burana, either.

a. I think all Dads wear/wore Old Spice. I know mine did.

b. When I saw the title of your post I thought you were going to be talking about the Bruce Campbell Old Spice commercial that has been playing the last couple of weeks. Very funny commercial as well.

I saw the Bruce Campbell Old Spice ad on YouTube last night when I was looking for the “manly” ad. It reminds me that I need to pick up a copy of How to Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way.
