No matter whatever reason he had with him, face masks are truly for girls. I don't know what the trend is but nowadays more and more "boys" are using girls' stuff, including facebook (this is especially for Popeye). World changes too fast or, maybe, I move too slow. I'm outdated.
In America the trend is known as metro sexual (all thanks to David Beckham for endorsing it), straight guys that likes to do girly stuff to take care of their looks.
Humm.. I bathe everyday and shave most every day..I use cologne when I go out except to work..but other than that..are you kidding? Don't think there are many metro-sexuals in Iowa.
And I dislike shopping.. what a waste of time. After a little study the only thing metro-sexual about me is that I do not wear blue jeans.

LOL...I know somewhere among that crowd someone is pissing into the pool! Heck it's hot here in Houston as well(101 degrees heat index), good time to head out to Galveston for a dip into the ocean or even the local water park (Schlitterbahn).
You know if you look at all those photos a lot of kids in that mass of people.. you gotta know some kids will just pee in the pool..
Chinese man stands trial for poisoning dumplings
BEIJING (AP) — A former food plant worker in China confessed in court on Tuesday to poisoning frozen dumplings that sickened 10 people in Japan in 2008, a scandal that strained Beijing-Tokyo relations just months before China hosted the Olympic Games.
The official Xinhua News Agency said Tuesday that 39-year-old Lu Yueting went on trial in Shijiazhuang in northern China's Hebei province and that Japanese officials were present. A court employee confirmed the trial but did not give his name, which is common among low-ranking Chinese bureaucrats.
A verdict is expected to be announced at a later date. Citing local prosecutors, the state-run English-language China Daily newspaper said the man is likely to receive at least 10 years in prison.
The former worker of Shijiazhuang-based Tianyang Food Plant was dissatisfied with his wages and, in late 2007, injected insecticide into several boxes of frozen dumplings to get attention from his managers, Xinhua said.
Now that'snasty!
