The "keep it dry for 3 days" part may be a bit difficult to swing.

Use stick on anti slip pads to cover up the scratches.

C'mon man, you can make three days bird bathing it in the sink. You'll survive.

 

[Synobun]

I don't think I will, Tim.

Don't get arrested. There are jails where three day interval access to showers and a change of clothes is the standard.

For me, going three days without showering is pretty normal although it would probably be impossible during the summer.

 

[Snerk]

Showering every day isn't good for your skin, I'm told.

But then again jail showers are somewhat less relaxing than home showers, no?

Jail in general isn't conducive to relaxation, and showers aren't an exception. That said, in the jail I was in that had the three day access policy the only brief moment of something close to privacy was in the shower. Every third day the eight of us that shared a cell that was basically four sets of bunks and a toilet would get marched down the hall to a shower room where we would strip and hang our jump suits, t shirts, and boxers on hooks and then step into our individual shower stalls. A cop would swap out our clothes on the hooks along with a towel on the hook as well, and when he was done we were done. They'd give us a ten count warning and then the hot water would shut off.

Fortunately that was just a county jail that I was passing through fairly quickly and I was only there for one three day cycle. I was really lucky, in that my jail tour consisted of every stop being way better than the last, and that was an early one.

I may have asked you before but what were you in for? If you don't want to get into it that's fine and I apologise for being nosy.

 

[Synobun]

Being too good-looking.

Wow, pool paint in a spray can! Very cool.

You didn't know?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

You didn't know?

Yeah, never seen the stuff. Always learning.

 

[Zelig]

Marine epoxy is more or less pool paint, so yeah.

Yeah upside is that you can get it in less than gallon sizes. My kit came with matching 125ml tubes of resin/hardener.

In Nepal I didn't shower for 2 weeks. Unless wiping your body with baby wipes counts, in which case I showered about 7 days out of the 15.

Nobody else in my group was showering either, and I don't remember any stench or anything like that.

And hair.

I'm trying to remember the name of the ancient Greek [Lydian?] king who was perpetually hungry. His name start's with "O." I believe at one point he even started eating himself.

Erysichthon.

 

[Lexicus]

He was the king of Thessaly, and it was a curse placed on him because he cut down a sacred tree.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

...of Thessaly.

Ninja'd...but it was a grove of trees and killed a...dryad? Some sort of nymph.
