When did razorblades get so goddamn expensive?

mach3

$26 for 12 razorblades?

Anyone use an electric razor?  I tried one when I was a teen and hardly had any hair to shave off my face but the concept just seemed a little dirty to me.  You know when you go to BJ’s and you casually toss a few small items in your cart and then get up to the front and they ask you for $325?  It’s these tiny items like razorblades that add up quick.

Holy shit I’m getting old.  I sound just like my father did when I’d roll my eyes at him when he complained about how much stuff cost.

(thank you to all my twitter friends who helped out with the proper spelling for goddamn)

11 Days!!! New Contest- Fiesta Families

The Infamous One Writes-

joey – i’ll stick with the reisman color slides for now, but the black and white photos tell a story too.  more of them later.  i won’t ask for the names of these family members – they might be visiting from out of town – but to win the prize, you have to tell me the exact location of these pix, street AND number.  and don’t try to make me blink … infamous already KNOWS the answer, because he looked up ‘john’s barber shop’ in the 1952 city directory at the cape ann museum archives.  museum has a full set of these, just like another gloucester treasure – the sawyer free library.  use ’em or lose ’em!
infamous f.b.  stay tuned, don’t turn that dial!
[i’ll print up the ladies for kathy g and she can pick them up at the museum front desk weds. morning on, at her convenience.  is this kathy g. roberts?]

Yes Fred it is THAT Kathy G Roberts who took home the gold yesterday!  No double winners Kathy, so you could guess again but if someone else gets this one they can stake claim to the prize unless of course you are the only winner.

Thanks Fred-

GHS Theatre Program Spring Musical Once Upon a Mattress June 3 & 4

Hi Joe,
The GHS Theatre Program will stage its spring musical Once Upon a Mattress June 3 & 4 at 7:00 pm and June 5 at 2:00 pm.
I think you and your readers will agree that the costumes (by Linda Stockman) and set (by Dave Bowling) really show off this terrific cast.  55 GHS dedicated and talented students, including 17 graduating seniors, are involved in the production.
I hope the community will come out next weekend and see them live.  It will be fun!
Thanks,
Beth
