    I had AT&T at my last house for six months. The internet was amazing and the customer service was surprisingly very good. I was shocked because I figured all of these telecom companies sucked equally. Now I’m back with xfinity because fiber isn’t available here yet and they are as terrible as I remembered.

    I HEREBY STAN FOR AT&T!!!

    I had an inguinal hernia repair when I was like 5, the only thing I really remember post op was asking for some Orange Juice, they gave me apple juice (which I loathe) instead. Dumped the apple juice straight into the urinal with my pee. Doctors came screaming in after labs resulted thinking there was something wrong with my kidneys :laugh:

    My dad had double hernia surgery in his 40s because of all the shit work he did trying to help his dad and brother build a manual labor based business as a young guy. They stapled that shit shut in the 90s. It was fuckin gnarly

    I have a bottle that I must have purchased sometime in early college, if not high school. It has not gotten a lot of use in the past decade.

    Is it even still “good” at this point?

    Yeah I’ve noticed it tends to be older guys. I’m in my 30s and don’t know of any of my friends that use it. Except for special occasions.

    I’m starting to think that it’s one of the first signs of an impending mid-life crisis for older men. Guessing before they buy a sports car or start hitting on their daughter’s friends, a quick and easy way to appear younger is to cover themselves in a cloud of Acqua Di Gio.

    When I was in the dorms, one guy got mad at his roommate for dousing himself in cologne and stinking up their room.

    He took a bottle of the roommate’s Polo and soaked a tennis ball in it. He lit the tennis ball on fire and threw it down the hall at his roommate, who was running and screaming trying to get away.

    He hit him in the back, which momentarily caught him on fire for about three seconds, but also left burning spots of Polo where the ball hit the floor.

    He got kicked out of school for it.

    Our dorm hall smelled like Polo for about two weeks.

    That’s my cologne story.

    Ladies and gentlemen, Ohio State. A burning ball of cologne from the 80s being worn in the 90s.

    Also, that's objectively hilarious and be should have just gotten sent home for the semester.

    I have 3 colognes, large bottles, not testers. 1 I bought in high school, 2 were gifted to me in college. I keep one in my dopp kit and use it maybe 3 times a year. Probably have half a bottle or more left but I couldn't be sure because I see it so rarely. I don't know where the other two bottles are.

    These are probably from junior high. My moms best friend use to work in men’s cologne at Dillards so we got everything. It was honestly overboard.
