Hey dude, remember when I shot you down but you insisted and finally I told you that I have a problem w your personal hygiene – in that, you have none…. then you see me on the street a couple years later and you are still a dirtbag and still insist that we should get together. I really don’t want to have to go there again. I don’t wanna be a total bitch to you. You are nice enough but really not clean enough. Lemme break it down: you should use soap or body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, laundry detergent, dish detergent and all kinds of other available cleaning products for you and your place. Even if you used the crappy natural products it would still be better than the nothing you are using now. You smell like dirt and nicotine, your breath is nasty and I dont want to imagine the uncleanliness of other things.
Here is your not so subtle hint.

I love some of the crowd at Gus’ pub. The conversation opener was along the lines “so I havn’t showered in…..”.
Happy Pride!
this one qualifies (sort of) as public interest. stink travels

Every time I get fresh, I always get a slap in the face. Being a clean hippie, I refuse to cut my hair or get a real job.
I don’t know how people can smell so bad. My kitty is 5 years old, has never had a shower, yet has beautiful fur and smells delicious (smells like bacon when I cook bacon).

I’m with you all the way on this OP. We’re trying to have a civilized society here so I think we owe it to each other to be presentable or at least not offensive. I’m not into heavy scents either. All of the major manufacturers of cleaning products have unscented versions now so there’s no reason to be whacking people with an invasive body odor or cloying perfume.
Mr. Magoo – some of us are trying to have a civilized society, or at least attempting to slow it’s further decline. Some consider piss-poor hygiene to be a political act. It’s one way to stop gentrification in the north end, I suppose. Anarchistank +mindless graffiti = smashing the kapitalist state. It’s all fun and games until you get a dozen of them crammed in a cell overnight. Then it’s bring on the fire hoses and the pepper spray.
There’s no reason in the world not to wash your arse and your pits, at least. None.
I mean, if you’re THAT po’ that you can’t afford a bar of soap, you can always get a dixie cup and steal some from a public fucking bathroom.
When I lived in the north end, my red Betta fish was named Mao.
