Hell, to shave I just hammer the whiskers back in and bite them off from the inside. Then, for a refreshing post-shave facial, I use a few swipes with a blow torch.   
It's a guy thang...

That's true, the ROKA. Made from recycled car frames and powertrains, with a squarish LEGO look for the body. Almost always white.
Real fall apart vehicles. You can still seem them on the streets occasionally.
Strange, I just googled them, and NOTHING came up. Could it be they never had a web page?? lol

as far as clothes, when are dominicans gonna make clothes for people over 6 ft and size 12 shoe ? i feel real funny everytime i come to the DR being 6'4", size 12 shoe. people think i play basketball (a common US stereotype) and i respond with "i play tennis".  |
