LibCom Thread for the Cure
Jun 26 2007 22:07
Cancer? No.
AIDS? No.
B.O.? Yes.
I dedicate this thread to all those who oppose anarchists who oppose deodorant. I feel as if this is the primary obstacle between us and the revolution. From this moment forward I propose that all pro-fresh anarchists carry with them a minimum of two sticks of your choice brand. Next time you smell an anarchist before you see her, you have two options: (1) Deodorize or (2) Execute.
That is all.

Sticks?
You have to shave your armpits to use that crap.

"A Forest" and "10.15.." are the only tracks of theirs I really like tbh.
"Lovecats" and the like are just dire...
However 10.15 is awesome and i have a rare French vinyl 7" of it. 
"Waiting for the telephone to ring.. and i'm wondering where she's been...
And i'm crying for yesterday... and the tap drips drip drip drip.. "
Classic.
They are dull live tho - my friend and i left early to get chips. The chips were skill.

Course i read the thread! It wasn't a sarcastic response in a mean way - it was a lighthearted humorous response taking into account the play on words.
Read forum description. (Now that was sarcasm!! ) This is libcommunity so there are almost certainly likely to be jokes in any thread you start. If you wanted to have a serious convo on this subject you would be better off posting this thread anywhere but here.
Surely also you have realised i am never deliberately mean to any poster here? Doh!

I makes me super speedy and aerodynamic.
Fact is armpit-hair is fucking disgusting and looks fucking rare. Anyway my now-ex girlfriend preferred it.

It's like air freshener, it just mixes another smell in with whatever was there already.

Try unscented deoderant and spare us all.

I honestly do not care if it is or is not for political reasons - you smell.

I don't smell disgusting unless I don't wash, I tend to see the liverpool shower as a last resort, not a first choice.

you're missing the point then - you don't put it on when you're already stinking. Well, some people do.
You put it on when you're clean, then when you do sweat, which we all do, it doesn't stink.
Of course if you wear anti-perspirant you don't sweat as much. But isn't that supposed to be a bit dodgy, I dunno.

I don't think it is THAT dodgy given that we sweat all over and not just under our arms - so it is not as tho we are blocking our sweat function in its entirety. Tho purists would say yeah it is bad. But we are not purists on here.
Also makaira spoke of deodorant in his OP - This is different to anti-perspirant - deodorant does not inhibit the production of sweat the way anti-p does. Tho anti-p doesn't eliminate, just reduce sweat reduction.
Why am i writing about sweat at 1am??? [Rhetorical] I'm supposed to be doing other stuff funnily enough..
Anyway i wash under my arms and apply deodorant at least twice a day tho i have to be careful as i have sensitive skin and the wrong brands bring me out in a rash - nice.

Firstly - not wearing deodorant is usually fine if you wash every day, drink enough water and don't eat crap food. However, not wearing deodorant in the summer is pretty unacceptable unless you're a freak of nature who doesn't sweat/smell ever.
Secondly - armpit hair is great Conor, although I understand the swimming speed thing. Aesthetically though, having none is a bit disgusting.
Thirdly - how on earth can you not like The Lovecats?
edit - Also, if I'm a hippy who uses Lush deodorant, does that make me worse than someone who doesn't use any?

I don't know anyone, sadly, who washes every day, drinks enough water and doesn't eat crap food. !!
Even I only do the first two. 
Lovecats is shite commerical pap compared to the ambience evoked by 10.15 and a Forest.
I think it is way cool you use Lush - lovely products.

Even so, I don't reckon most people stink enough to really need deodorant (when it's not really hot) as long as they take basic care of themselves. I don't drink enough water most of the time and I only really smell if I've not washed for quite a long time (i.e. more than 24 hours) or it's been really hot and sweaty.

Yeah it's commercial, but fuck me it's groovy!

Hey I never said I actually did, it could have been a hypothetical... oh ok I'm a filthy hippy. Well, a fairly clean and fragrant one actually.

I guess i was moving towards saying most people don't take good basic care of themselves (deodorant or no! ) which is a shame. I don't think our culture makes it easy or natural to take good care of ourselves atm - there are more profits to be made from encouraging ill-health than health!
Guess with Lovecats it is the fact that they did that other better stuff first. If an artist that is normally crap bought it out i would have been cool with that.
I am a fragranced hippy too tho not over fragranced! Being stuck next to a woman on a crowded tube who is wearing ultrastrong perfume is a differing kind of unwanted assault on the olfactory senses.
Insolence by Guerlain is the worst!! Not so much Insolence as full out Aggression. The serial killer of perfumes.

It's bad for your skin in the short term and I've heard there might be long term risks. I don't use the stuff myself and usually forget to put on deoderant.
Excessive perfume is really annoying, very invasive. I can put up with JPG though because it brings back good memories.

I didn't meant the sweat-inhibiting was dodgy (cos yeah we sweat everywhere) but that anti-perspirants contain different ingredients than deodourants - aluminium I think. Isn't that supposed to be the dodgy bit? That it's aluminium going onto a more porous and moist part of yer body. I still use anti-perspirant sometimes though.

yeah i know, that's why i made a specific reference to anti-perspirant
To be honest I barely even look at what I'm buying - I buy fairly cheap ones, use it once day and don't get any irritations.

have we met? if anything about me smells it's my hair. and even then it only smells of 'burnt dust' (according to a friend recently). incidentally, there's a big difference between smelling normal and smelling bad. gimme a sniff after i've done three hours on the climbing wall. now that's a smell!
i think three or four showers a week plus a bit of deodorant if things get hot or whatever is fair enough. showering every day and deodorising every day is unnecessary for a good level of smell and hygiene IMO.
Word fucking word. Refusing to wear deodourant has fuck all to do with any kind of struggle except that with reality.
Fucking Crimethinc bastards.
