Forgive my ignorance, but is it really necessary to do all that to a bicycle seat? Why not just use it for a few years, then buy another if it shows its age? Too easy?

Shall I part my hair behind?
Do I dare to polish a shoe?

Memphislawyer shows his usual  tenacity, quick thinking and resolve in this whiz-bang thread on whether you need different colors of polish for different colors of shoe. I think it was Karl Popper who said that this issue (what philosophers call "the hard problem of shoe polish color") cannot be resolved through even an arbitrarily large sampling of individual shoe/polish interactions, since that kind of observation passes empiricism and verges into the realm of fantasy. Feyerabend, following Popper, wrote that although Plato considered all shades of shoe polish (especially "chestnut") an imperfect reflection of the ideal shoe polish he would now be forced to admit that Saphir Mahogany Ultimate Luxury Deliquescing Cream actually IS the ideal shoe polish, and that this represents the brutal triumph of scientistic imperialism. Anyway, I polish all my shoes with those free sponges that they give out in the better sort of business hotel, hope that helps.

Kabbaz shills his $100 undershirts in this incredibly depressing thread. The OP casually mentions that he would consider tearing the sleeves off his undershirt and then finishing the sleeve heads himself on his sewing machine; he also dispenses valuable tips about using deodorant. This is high level stuff here, guys! The masters of the universe!
