I used to, now I just slather them on my body and allow them to absorb in through the course of my workout. They get directly to muscles quicker that way, and they give you a great sheen for flexing in mirrors.
Just a thought, but maybe some thought should be given to actually re-opening the politics section? Seems like people keep posting stuff about it, which means there are people who want to keep talking about it it. If the politics section was reopened, then the people who want to talk politics can do it to their hearts' content and the rest of the board wouldn't be littered with the dialogue.
Note: This isn't a slam against Jon or anyone else who talks about politics, just a suggestion of what could be done.
A longer goatee/beard is going to feel wiry - it's long facial hair, what do you expect? I don't think any amount of shampooing and conditioning is going to help.

Yeah, getting a passport is relatively painless.
Step 1: Go to CVS and tell them you need a passport photo.
Step 2: Get your pose on.
Step 3: Take passport photo to any post office and tell them that you want a passport.
Step 4: Fill out their paperwork, pay some money (I think it's about $200, maybe less?).
Step 5: Wait for passport to arrive in the mail.
Step 6: Get your international travel on.
Step 7: ????
Step 8: Profit.
I kind of like that it's a hole in the wall place where you have to wait an ungodly long time to get in - kind of ads to the ambiance and mystique of the place. Besides, the long wait is just an excuse to drink a bunch and get your buzz on.
