So I'm considering whether or not to grind my face off with a belt sander...

[Gravitycollapse]

I have my doubts about the procedure. It seems a little over the top given the inherent danger of grinding one's own face off with a linked strip of sand paper.

I decide to take a break from the tedium of decision and jump on a progressive message board. I start reading posts about how women are second class citizens because they're lazy.

Poof, through the fog comes an informed decision. Now, if you'd all excuse me, I have to go exfoliate.

1. Start with 80 grit

4. You're bad.

13. And finish with a nice, 1100 wet/dry....

on a DA sander for that "I just used power equipment on my face" look.

2. We need to have Obama BAN and OUTLAW grinding your face off with a belt sander

just for the amusement of watching the Teabaggers grind their faces off with a belt sander in protest to the Kenyan commie infringing on their constitutional rights.

3. Whatever you do, be sure to wear proper breathing apparatus.

Safety first.

5. And make sure you plug the sander cord into a properly grounded and GFCI protected outlet

Wouldn't want you to suffer an electric shock while you're grinding your face off.

18. And if using an orbital sander, don't, I repeat don't...

.... forget to put sandpaper on the tool and wonder why the wood isn't getting smooth and thereby grind off all the little graboid thingies that hold the paper on the tool and then get pissed and throw the tool on the floor rendering it completely useless costing $90 bucks to replace it.

Don't ask me how I know not to do that.

23. ha! yeahhhh

[TheCowsCameHome]

30. Not to worry, mine was defective

and started making loud humming noises and began vibrating and rotating all over the place, so I shut it off and just rubbed it back and forth by hand.

I should return it and get my money back.

6. Enhanced exfoliation? nt

[awake]

7. So long as you do not use it for birth control

[riderinthestorm]

8. Whatever cleverness you thought this was, I'm utterly perplexed and freaked

Awful.

Forget t he stupid plastic surgery shit and accept your true self.

Is this snark??

WTF?

[Gravitycollapse]

12. What is snark?

[longship]

9. Well played. R&K nt

10. Don't know about grinding your face off. Had you set your hair on fire.....

This may help put it out.

[nolabear]

11. Now don't go getting all hysterical.

Geez. Can't take you anywhere.

[winter is coming]

14. You shouldn't grind your face off.

It will make your butt look big.

[Gravitycollapse]

15. I'll have to grind each one off proportionally.

[winter is coming]

17. You probably don't have the mirrors to accomplish that at home.

You'll have to find a store with outlets in the dressing rooms.

Be sure to tell the sales associate why you're there, so he/she doesn't think you're using an industrial vibrator in there.

16. Sorry, but Belt Sanders are "Latest Breaking News".

This is GD, don't you know anything?

[JHB]

26. Belt Sanders is Bernie's rougher brother....

[Warren DeMontague]

27. Finally! a candidate I can get behind!

[Brother Buzz]

19. Four out of five dermatologist surveyed recommend the random-orbit sander...

to reduce grinding marks, followed by an application of Visine® to get the red out.

[RainDog]

21. so who said this?

I'm refilling my ignore list after I recently pretty much emptied it. that's someone I would like to put on ignore.

And, I am so aggravated, it's good this is a message board because I would be tempted to slap the shit out of anyone who said that to my face.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

22. Fuck the funny shit. I want a link. nt

[BainsBane]

24. Lazy? I missed that one

I don't have much tolerance for the bigotry that some seem to find acceptable, so I haven't read a lot of the justifications. Fuck. I wish I could believe you were exaggerating.

Our "allies" are out in full force.

[davidpdx]

25. Yeah, I agree that is bullshit

[Katashi_itto]

28. Can you Youtube the procedure?
