filthy pride

xaos · Post by **xaos** » Wed Feb 03, 2010 4:40 pm

i'm sort of a dirty fucker, in that i really enjoy being grubby. as i work in a machine shop, a pretty toxic environment- with all the coolant and cutting oil and what not; i'm not afforded the luxury of skipping showers, and it's a certain treat to be able to not bathe properly for day on end.

unfortunately this sort of behavior is relegated to occasional camping trips, motorcycle excursions and weekends skydiving. i feel this is a real shame, for i recelect fondly portions of my life where i wore the same set of clothes and had only vigorous bathroom, or stream side, douche sessions for extended periods.

being in "the field" while in the employment of uncle sam, was a great opportunity to be down right filthy. as was the time i spent after my discharge, hitchhiking and ridding trains around; living out of a backpack.

i never wash my field cloths, a combination of milsurp requisitions and overpriced outdoor outfitter gear, unless severely soiled. same goes for my motorcycle junk. just knock of the chunkies and figure you'll ride through rain at some point. though, this only adds to the aroma- especially in leather.

i've had a restless spirit lately and i yearn to be on the road and layer on the filth. accumulating grime the way only time and travel can. the notion of being in nebraska and knowing you picked up some mud on your jacket in kentucky is compelling to me. that soil is unique and you can never precisely replicate it the world over.

i know i'm not alone in these sentiments, and i have to imagine that i won't be the only smelly kid at ragnokok(!).

I tend to go along with the Muslims on this particular issue. At least on the physical side. Morally and spiritually, I may be a bit filthy.

I'm down with some filth, but the chicks don't dig it. I did date a chick years ago that liked how I smelled when I got off work. She said I smelled 'greasy'. Whatever floats yer boat sister...

One of the things I learned in the Army is that I really, really like showers. Go for a month or so without one. You'll understand.

Pretty sure i did that a time or two during college, and would do it now if i were single. I'm lazy and don't mind the grime. Didn't get me much popularity w/ da ladies. If only BDB went to my school

I'm kind of a dirty animal myself, no real attachment to it, just don't bathe very often.
After a week or so, a shower does feel SOOOOOO good. I also shave about as often as I cut my toe-nails. Whenever it seems necessary.

I'd like to know what 'Oh Yeah?' smells like.

Yeah, I with BDB. I prefer my men a little more rough smelling.
It adds to their manliness.
Yum.

It should be noted that I prefer my women smelling like mangoes & exotic flowers, like jasmine.
Yum.

Hmmm... Does that make me sexist? If so, I don't care.

I am with ya on the grime Xaos, I fully enjoy dirtbagging. Sleeping on the ground, eating random "food" that you find in your backpack, oil on the hands, and body odor so strong it'll strip the flat black off an ascot. The only reprieve from the grime being the sweet air that nature affords while you blow down her roads in seek and destroy mode.

Oh, I wasn't trying to be badass. I think at a couple of weeks, you just stop caring. Now if I can only find a place that would have a me sized shower.

I don't particularly "enjoy" being a dirty fucker -it's just that I enjoy the hassle of being otherwise even less. I tried this past year, really. I cut and washed my hair, bought some clothes, etc. But I can't stand the thought of another minute dedicated to appearance or hygeine outside of that which is absolutely necessary. I don't go out of my way to be a filthy bastard, I simply am. Being anything more smacks of vanity to me, and in truth I'm filled with a high level of self-loathing and shame over my efforts to be otherwise. Shame on me.

unlike the two of you, i was fortunate in that my duration in the army came between wars in the sandbox.

as much as i like not bathing, i want it to be on my terms. i harbor no love-loss for being told when i could or couldn't utilize a shower. i hope to never have to wear a uniform again, or to be on someone elses schedule to such a degree; be it military service, or otherwise incarcerated.

Yeah, I know. I didn't have the luxury of a shower for 6 months. It damn sure wasn't by choice. When I got home to Germany, I must've stood under that first shower for about an hour.

Few things I get really uppity about.

Pretty much limited to:
a) bought drinks come in glasses, not plastic cups. Unless you are in a hot tub or ball game.

b) Shower and fresh drawers happen twice a day.

I get bitchy when I am denied my luxuries.

On occasion I have been known to smell like carb cleaner and wake up in the middle of the night because I rolled over on to a spark plug in my bed.

How come nobody told me girls should smell like flowers!? WTF?
I hate all of you that have kept this a secret from me.

Wait. You change your underwear twice a day? How much do you spend on laundry a month?

I'm a fan of one pair and then commando. Laundry is $3.00 a load.

Hmm... maybe Thack's right. Maybe I am a boy.

Yep, working for uncle sugar reeeaaally makes me appreciate a shower and even more so a shower that I can control, even slightly, the temperature of.
It’s funny I find that I’ll start out entertaining the thought that I will stay clean either in the field or on mission but this illusion of cleanliness doesn’t last very long and I end up just saying fuck it and drive on. I guess too much time sleeping in puddles.

Short story when I was a younger lad and a tread head (translation: young private on a tracked vehicle covered in oil, cherry juice and bloody hands –see breaking track) my unit was supporting a
Dutch Tank unit in Hohenfels Germany. Well, after 30 days “in the box” (training area, you dirty minded fuckers) we were prepping to return to the motor pool and finishing packing to return to home station.
As my wing man and I were getting ready to move one of the Tank commanders approached us so we waited to see what he wanted. At that moment “she” took off her helmet and eye pro and did the classic Hollywood hair let down and shake.
To this day I do not remember the conversation but I do remember that move and that she had blond hair and a bit of dirt smudged on the right side of her face…
It wasn’t until I started talking to the hot Dutch female tank commander that I realized I had developed a rather thick and foul aroma. Fun times.

However after my last jaunt to the sandbox I’ve become a believer in the hot tub! I’ll stay in one until I putrefy, ok maybe not quite that long.

You can wash your hands at the end of your shift, but man, metal chips end up just about everywhere. For me, I always preferred being covered with aluminum chips to steel. Feels more high-tech somehow. My shop never worked in titanium so I don't know what those chips make you feel like.

But i love the way i smell after I've been fucking. I've met gay men who smell like ass and lube... it's gross and not a smell I want under my nose.

Totally almost off the topic, I found the BEST pâtisserie in Denver.
I love the stuffed croissant, aka the original Hot Pocket. It is my friend. You will never get old.

If anyone would like to have breakfast with me at the yummiest spot in town, name the day.

Today I moved 70+ tons of manure (Skid stear & Payloader work)
This week about 350 ton
I enjoyed a hot shower after every day.

Last year, while doing the same sort of work, my pipes froze and I was consigned to sponge baths at work.

Not all stink is sexy/manly, some of it just stinks.
But , ya kinda get useto it. Then the ammonia burns out your sinuses, and you cant smell nothin anymore.

On a side note...anybody know a was to get anti-seize out of/off of skin. That stuff seems to just soak in.
