Life without bathing - can it be done?

[Hara!]

I'm going to be moving in about a month, so I stopped cleaning my room because I know I'll just have to overhaul soon. About 2 weeks ago, I thought I'd also see how long I could go without taking a shower.

My skin is a shade darker, and a fine coat of mud forms whenever I sweat. People are starting to stare at me on the train, and even less girls than usual are talking to me. Even still, I am eager to endure. I will go 6 weeks without a shower.

I hope you all will cheer me on.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

In the old days didn't they wear those big frilly poofy dresses because they never bathed and it kept the stench in?

[Trefellin]

I hope you all will cheer me on.

Well, sure.

Corncopp, Corncopp, Corncopp! Hoorah!


Pro tip: scrap your skin with a seashell every couple of days and drench yourself in cheap cologne.

Ha ha ha...

...sounds a bit fishy to me. a bit suspect, even.

ok. time for a cartoon.

[goddessofanime]

Put lots of cologne and body spray on, Pigpen.

Have fun being a Frenchman.

When I was in middle school I went months upon months at a time without ever bathing and no one ever noticed... I just don't see what the big deal is. I never had 'mud' build up... but my skin did darken by a few degrees. :lol:

I'm sure there must be hobos around you can ask this to.

Also I hope you suffer as much as the people around you will.

Well, now we know who's responsible for that stereotype. :P

gross. like, seriously. gross. its fine cause its cooler now, but in the summer you'll die or be killed.

:O

Good damsel, I, as a Knight, do not smell! That would go against my own credo and reduce business. Besides, the horse does all the work. I just sit there!

Damn you...

That just pronounces the stench even more, trust me.


This is a ridiculous idea. Did I happen to say that this was a ridiculous idea? Well its a ridiculous idea.

[Shiroiyuki]

I asked my brother (because he is the nastiest person I know) what the trick is to Stinking Like a Pro:

1.) Wear loose, baggy clothing that holds the stink in. Hoodies, ponchos, the occasional tent....anything that will allow you to travel in public after a week or so. He recommends duct-taping the collar down so you do not accidentally get a whiff of yourself in the process. It'll kill a man.

2.) Learn how to braid. Seriously. If your hair is longer, braid it back for that “No no, it's only wet I swear!” look. If not...well, that's where a good o' baseball cap fits in. Otherwise the grease build-up will alert others before your stink does. You'll find not only can you clear a street just by stepping out of your home, birds will suddenly really like pavement...

3.) Don't bathe in cologne. Or perfume. Or...body spray. What smells worse than too much cologne? Too much cologne on top of B.O. I'm looking at you, Corncopp. Steer clear of elevators regardless, but for the love of everything holy...don't dump that bottle of Old Spice on yourself if you are going into town.

4.) Don't exercise. Even if you are going to be a nasty little bastard, you could at least be courteous enough to not make the problem worse. No exercise = less sweat. Less sweat = less STENCH. Repeat after me: Couch Potato, Couch Potato, Couch POTATO... Let that be your magic mantra. And don’t raise your arms anymore than you have to.

5.) Get used to being a lonely guy.

[Shiroiyuki]

I'm hoping this is just a crafty April Fools joke.

I've been hoping that about a lot of people here for....three(?) years now? :unsure:

Wow. Hey, nice Archie Bunker impression there, Rain. Makes you sound SO intelligent, sophisticated, and mature!

On topic: This is the most epic thing anyone has ever done...ever. :lol:

Great post.

And hopefully this is a joke. You could jump in a pool or lake or something. I don't know why you wouldn't want to bathe, but technically that doesn't count so you should do that.

[Haro!]

corncopp it is possible to go without bathing and that is proven by many guys at my uni (a geeky-loser school). However it is the most grossest thing imaginable. Granted there are crews in your HS that probably don't bathe much either and it seems okay. But it isn't!! No one wants to have to smell someone from several feet away. That's at the very least impolite to those around you. And what about the girls? Don't you care about scoring with the honeys? What I wouldn't do to be your age again!!!!

[Midoriko87]

[color=darkred]Wow. Hey, nice Archie Bunker impression there, Rain. Makes you sound SO intelligent, sophisticated, and mature!

If I say that I adore Archie, does that make me a horrible person as well as an idiot?

Anywho, more power to you, corncopp...as long as you wash under your arms...and crotch, perhaps...? No need to get your whole body wet! :thumbsup:

[VidelCoolGirl]

A clean crotch is a happy crotch?

[Caster13]

um, corncopp? you do realize that this will make you one of the most despicable and hated types of otaku, right? You're only enforcing a stereotype.

[tenshi_a]

The ancient Romans never bathed using soap and water. They rubbed oils into their skin and scraped it off again. That and various salts. They ended up seasoned, maybe marinated, I don't know about "clean"....

[Mikosage]

Hey, by the end of this, people will walk into any room he's in and think there's an Anime Con going on in there. XD

[DavenIII]

Still don't see the reason behind doing it? Guiness book of world records or something?

I don't get it, if you had some sort of reason for doing it I'd cheer you on, but if you're just doing it to "See if it can be done" well thats stupid, obviously it CAN be done, who cares about that, the reason why you do it has to be important, not because...your just curious about it.

[Ikari Warrior]

There was actually a fairy tale based on this. A man encounters a [gnome/leprechaun/imp] and it says "I'll grant you any wish, as long as you meet my demand."

The guy says he'll do it, and the creature says "You must not bathe, wash your hair, clip your nails, or cut your hair/beard for one year."

The guy does it, and gets his butt kicked for a year until he comes to this town where there is a house where there are 3 sisters. 2 of them hate on him for being a crusty ***, but one of them takes care of him. He has to leave after a while, and finish out his year of uncleanliness.

The year elapses, the creature reappears, and says "darn, you completed my challenge, what do you want?" The man asks for infinite money; whenever he reaches in his pocket, he will always have gold. The challenge complete, he cleans up, buys some nice clothes, and marries the one girl who took care of him.

And they lived happily ever after.

Thats so wrong.:x

[Bernard_Monsha]

The motto we use to indoctranate new gamers is

"If you shower, you won't smell sour. If you take a pass you will smell like..."

[Kagura]

Umm, I don't know what to really say about this... I guess I can say EWW!!! Anyhow, its your decision so I am not about to criticize you. I wish you Good Luck in your quest. All I gotta say is since you aren't going to bathe for so many weeks, try to stay someplace cool so you don't sweat, don't over do it with cologne because it could make matters worse, don't raise your arms or open your legs too wide and also, make sure to wear PLENTY of deodorant. Good Luck!

Yeah but was the girl hot? See that's the reason fairy tales suck.

corncopp, think about all the honeys you'd lose. Had that guy in the story bathed he would have had not one but 3 women.

[Kagura]

Well, technically by not bathing for a long time you are letting yourself open to various diseases and infections, not to mention parasites and such. I mean you could pick up something like Scabies. *gags* Yuck.

[Haro!]

Kagura brings up a good point. corncopp, you go to a school with a lot of fobs, you might get SARS or bird-flu.

[Naraku]

RIP corncopp

The point is that the girl loved him while he looked and smelled like ***, and so her reward was to have a man she could love who was rich, clean, and pimpin'.

And yes, for your edification, Haro, she was hot, ok? And her sisters were *****es. I'll take one nice, hot girl over 2 *****es any day.

I'm pretty sure we all understood the point of the story........

but I'll take 2 *****es that are both hot AND the hot nice girl over just the hot nice girl :)

I just assumed we all got the point of the story. Sorry if my feigned indignation was interpreted as genuine. It is the internets, after all.

As for taking the two not-nice women AND the nice one...nuts to that. 2 *****es + 1 not-***** = MEGA drama, and I just don't have the patience or nerves for that.

See! Daven III got my point.

[Trefellin]

None of you are considering that these are your two choices:

1. three hotties but two are not so agreeable.

2. one cute honey and unlimited pocket gold.

I'd take the latter. With unlimited cash you could get as many ladies as you wanted. It's like wishing for more wishes... sort of.

[Caster13]

wait, I thought that the girls were his sisters? I guess I must've read it wrong.

Not only is that disgusting, but it's unsanitary too. You must've been beaten with the stupid stick when deciding not to keep up with your personal hygiene. :rolleyes:
