I don't think I'll have to act. Having a guy give me a bar of artisan soap isn't something that happens often. Or ever.

Also, pretty sure I'll never be 'that guy' no matter how many fancy soaps you throw at me.

Hey, even the best of us need a good shaving soap, right?

So what kind of 'guy' would you say you are?

[everswirlingtoilet]

And then there are those of us who just don't bother shaving on a regular basis. [He's not saying Lark's wrong. He's only saying some guys don't put a lot of effort into their appearance.]

Good question. Not sure I've got an answer. I don't think I really know what kind of guy I am. Sometimes I think I do but I'm usually wrong.

I hope that means you tend to think you're an asshole and someone proves you're wrong about it.

[everswirlingtoilet]

That's very nice of you. [Yeah, he sounds a little suspicious. He doesn't trust niceness. Also, it makes him uncomfortable.]

However, I am definitely an asshole. It's okay. I've embraced my assholery. Sometimes a little too enthusiastically. I just don't know what I am besides an asshole. There's parts of me I've probably forgotten, or maybe parts I never knew about.

Geez. I sound like some try-hard New Ager. Might as well break out the crystals and put Enya on the stereo.

Don't forget the incense. Maybe a few mushrooms.

In my opinion, we need more assholes around here.

[everswirlingtoilet]

Wait. Those New Age types were into shrooms? Damn. If I'd known that, I might've given it a try.

Speaking as an asshole, I have to ask why would you want more of us around? Sure, we're fun at parties but other than that, we're pretty annoying.

[ukan]

Oh my reasons are completely selfish. If there are more assholes around, I can't be singled out.

[everswirlingtoilet]

Now that's clever. The best camouflage is hanging with a whole bunch of assholes. In fact, as long as you're not the most obnoxious one in the bunch, it's actually going to make you look good...ish.

[ukan]

Ahh, you get it.

...But you probably shouldn't follow my example. I'm pretty sure around here I'm known as the biggest asshole.

[everswirlingtoilet]

Never fear. I've never been one to hide my obnoxious behavior.

As far as the biggest asshole.... I think you've probably got some competition there.
