Mid-day update (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=07312007)
The day products start putting actual case-law references on the label is the day we know the lawyers have stepped out from behind the throne and seized the crown from the old king's head.
Edit: francophones may suggest any appropriate revision...

After a certain time, I find our KY Touch has suddenly aquired an odour almost exactly like that of the corn-removal medication I had to use as a young girl. It didn't have any odour before, but suddenly this unpleasant surprise has appeared. It is a mood killer, let me tell y'ah.
-
Ray must just be looking through his sex drawer, remembering the good old days when he was actually getting some. And presumably "not for use on toast" and "not a contraceptive" aren't important enough to appear on the actual tube any more and got bumped to the back of the box.

When I was a young lad, I was a chorus member in our high school's presentation of the Damon Runyon romp "Guys and Dolls". On the first full dress night, make up was applied to me. I had never done anything theatrical before, mind you. I was handed a tube and told to put a nice thin layer on my face. I didn't know what it was, but it struck me that Johnson and Johnson had made something with cosmetic purposes.
I asked about this "KY Jelly" and what it was for, as I was smearing it all over my face. I was then introduced to the concept of intimate lubrication. I didn't really ask any more questions after that. I went on to do a good dozen or so community theater plays as an adult. I never saw another tube of KY in that setting.
I still don't know if I was being hazed or not.
-
The cat paw holding the personal lubricant is pretty creepy. Ray holding it isn't, but when you see his paw, with claw....that's kinda weird.
-
I think it's because his claws seem to be extended all the time for no reason.

smick, I studied stage make-up for two years as part of my degree, and you will be pleased (or maybe disappointed?) to know that using KY Jelly, petroleum or cold cream and working it into the skin as a base, allows for the make-up itself to be applied smoothly and evenly. As long as other make-up was applied overtop of the KY , or the KY was being used as a thinner, there was nothing wrong with using it.
In recent years water based stage make-up has increased in popularity due to advances that make it more workable, but as early as 5 years ago it was industry standard to use lanolin-based and oil-based make-ups, requiring lubricant or baby oil to be used as a thinner. I always used baby oil in stage make-up class, but perhaps some kind-hearted person was being thoughtful to you teens in using KY - which reduces breakouts - without realizing how weird it would be.

For ridiculous (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P9889&categoryId=B70) sums (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P151913&categoryId=B70) of money, (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P169809&categoryId=B70) one can purchase silicone-based "foundation primer".
Also, the warning labels in the US and the lawsuits that predicated them made me think of this comic. (http://www.little-gamers.com/index.php?comicID=1641)

I think the low point in my life was when my mom recommended a particular variety of KY over all others to me while we were shopping.
We were in a shoe store.
Also, just wanted to make sure everyone knows about the woman who ate contraceptive jelly (http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/jelly.asp).

and the there's this:

Don't like a dry shave? Nobody does. Buy yourself some generic sex lube. It's only a couple of bucks at Walmart or Target or, really, any drugstore. A little dab and a disposable razor and you can get a nice shave. Rub a thimbleful of water over your face and wipe off to finish. It may sound funny, and of course your razor is ruined unless you rinse it out right away, but this works very well. It's one of my favorite tricks.
A dab of sex gel will help you comb out your hair in the morning, too, and it disappears completely into the hair, as if it were never there.

Can'd for education as well as giving me the well-being associated with knowing that years ago, folks I had suspected of misdealing were actually treating me kindly!

What, no scheming about naming a dog "J.J. the Land-Retard?"
-
Not for tricks? NOW they tell me!

The day products start putting actual case-law references on the label is the day we know the lawyers have stepped out from behind the throne and seized the crown from the old king's head.
Case law reference? I saw it more as a citation of the song by MC Pot-a-Holic wherein it is claimed that KY gives you "Gruesome Little Curls". Wouldn't a case law reference be someone vs. someone else?
-
A case citation would look like this:
Smith v. Jones, 123 S.W.2d 456 (Ky.App, 2006)
Parties vol/reporter/pg (court, year)
-
Aug, I'm glad your legal expertise and my theatrical expertise could be applied to this strip.
-
Well, we all bring a little something to the table, don't we?
-
I brought hummus!
(http://z.about.com/d/greekfood/1/0/_/3/hummus-tahini-2923-499.jpg)
-
Oh yummy, I love that shit.
-
Oh man. Hummus is so good. Also see: Baba ghanoush.

I brought hummus!
When I was in high school, I went to a choir event. I had never really been part of any of the vocal choirs in my high school, so I felt a little out of place. Just before the choir was ready to go up, every one took off their shoes. I was handed a small tub of garbanzo paste and told to put it in my shoes.
To this day, I don't know if I was really supposed to do that or not.
-
I love hummus.
-
when I was in italy, I was handed a bowl of something chocolatey with a spoon in it. I was jetlagged as all hell. So I took the spoon, and ate a big ol' bite. it was delicious.
they stared at me for a few seconds, and then the dad reached over, took it from me, and used his knife to apply some to a cookie. I had just eaten frosting.

HEH!!! theinev cootie'd an entire bowl of Italian frosting. I love it.

This past weekend at my sister-in-law's wedding, I ate a bite of what I thought was hummus only to discover that it was, in fact, crab dip.
I'm allergic to seafood.
There's just no nice way to spit food into your napkin at the bride and groom's table.
-
You were at a wedding. You could have feigned drunkenness.
-
What, no scheming about naming a dog "J.J. the Land-Retard?"
Personally, I have fully planned to name my own dog this. When I am actually able to own a dog, which will be in a couple years. So I will probably not win the contest, but I still like the name.
I feel spitting out food for the sake of allergies, while not polite, is always acceptable. The drunkenness, however, would have been a nice touch as well.
-

Oh, totally. Because the whole passing out and needing an ambulance thing is always so much more disruptive to a party.
-
The prepared and considerate guest has an epi-pen with them so as to avoid either.
I'm kinda sad that I never got to spike anybody with epinephrine. However, it's not nearly as cool as Pulp Fiction would have you believe.
-
... the time they do it in Pulp Fiction, that is "cool?"
That is terrifying. That is not cool.
also, that was adrenaline.

Epi is also spelled (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epinephrine) adrenalin, adrenaline, etc.
-
You have to admit that adrenaline sounds much cooler. Nobody talks about something exciting giving them an epinephrine rush.
-
oh, wow, I think if I had thought it through I would have figured it out.
but that's because I have too much faith in myself being able to figure out Facts just by thinking. you know... without knowing the facts.

That will serve you well in twenty years when you make it to the White House.

Epi is used more in a medical context, it's Greek for "on (epi-) the kidneys (nephros-)" which is where your little adrenal glands are perched. Adrenalin means the same thing, but in Latin. Nephrologists are physicians who specialize in kidney related disorders, which is why I remember epinephrine.
-
proof that I am REQUIRED to be a language dork forever (especially for the next several years):
But why do they both end in "ine"? Is that an ending common to both languages (I doubt this), or is this an example of that thing I hate (possibly called a Portmanteau? but that term is not specific enough) where they put together latinate and greek(ate? grecian?) roots. Hmm, what -is- that called? I should spend 2 hours looking for that term on wikipedia.

In the US, maybe. Pretty much everywhere else calls it adrenaline.
