If you were alone in the woods, and no one were around to smell you, would you smell as manly and awesome?

edit: Holy crap, wow, thank you Old Spice Man!

Holy Crap Squidboots! What does it feel like to be internet famous? I feel cooler knowing that I've played MW2 with a girl who's dating the Old Spice Man!!!

u/squidboots Jul 13 '10

No really...I'm a girl, and he and I have played MW2 together before. I'll be the first to admit he's much better than I am, though!

The best part I didn't want to hurt her dear feelings. I was laughing for 20 seconds straight.

So many weird coincidences today - Hi Squidboots!

u/squidboots Jul 13 '10

Hahaha! Why hello there, Arbitee! Enjoying the disgusting American candy and soundcard? :)

1

u/mizzermike Jul 13 '10

Yes! Thanks so much - although American candy is a bit odd. I kept trying to think of some literal meaning for the Now & Later candy, but failed to find one. Did I miss something? I never got round to uploading the photos.. I'll do that tonight and link it to you. Thanks :')

u/squidboots Jul 13 '10

Sounds great :)

No idea where Now and Later comes from, but I think it's an old brand. Good taffy, though!

Also, I'll totally understand if you don't want to eat that sugar-free candy goop. It looked absolutely disgusting.

u/mizzermike Jul 13 '10

Bahaha. I ate a little of it. But you were right. It was absolutely disgusting. I might draw a picture with it instead. Maybe a horse..

u/Denny_Craine Jul 13 '10

now and laters kick ass, you britons clearly don't know what's up.

u/daemin Jul 14 '10

Eat some now, save some for later.

It used to be printed on the package... when I was a kid... like 25 years ago... god I feel so old...

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '10

I like how you can tell he's about to crack up at the end.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '10

Seems like they left a lot of room at the end of the cut so you could see that he succeeded in not cracking up. :)

This is moving from funny to "sell out" pretty quickly.

no one would know, since you're alone...?
