One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
If you guessed DAVID HASSELHOFF, or “The Hoff” as he likes to be called, you would be wrong. His picture, as well as the top left and bottom right ones, are Google image results for a “Zombie” search. The lower left shot is of me and my Zit Factory. Right now, I’m what a dermatologist would call a “Gold Mine.”
Folks insist, “Why, I didn’t even notice ’til you pointed it out.” Right. And I never noticed that girls have boobies, until someone pointed it out of course. Yeah, I have absolutely no idea what’s going on with my face, but it sure ain’t pretty. What’s more, it hurts like an SOB, and the classic “well-stop-touching-your-face” remedy is almost impossible to adhere to because it’s the only thing that brings any relief.
Why post this for the whole world to see? Well for starters, I completely trust the three of you who are reading this. But beyond that, I figured we all might as well have some fun with my current “situation,” and maybe even learn something in the process. Yes, we’re going to do an experiment!
<— That is my face as of about a half hour ago. (Click on it for an even better view!) I’d been keeping the whiskers a little longer to help camouflage the mountainscape that’s canvassing my face, plus shaving results in a scene that would make Lizzie Borden blush. Nevertheless, I needed to see exactly what I was dealing with, so I busted out the ole Gillette Fusion, and now my face is as smooth as a… dude with a really zitty face.
My girlfriend gets the credit for what we’re about to try. She’s recommended slathering hydro-cortisone all over my ugly mug, and is convinced that in a week it’ll be gone. Yeah… gone. In her defense, she’s been singing and dancing on a boat for six months and — as such — has no clue just how bad it’s gotten. Which is probably a good thing, as she’s still claiming me as her own. But I digress. Here’s the plan!
- Exfoliate ($10)
- Shave ($11)
- Wash ($7)
- Apply Hydrocortisone ($6)
- Wait (Free)
I will be back next Sunday with a complete report, and the “After” shots so that we can do the whole A-B routine. With any luck, I’ll be back to my ridiculously handsome zit-free self, and halfway to infomercial fame and fortune. Stay tuned…
