Wash Your Mouth Out with Conditioner, Young Man
11:01 PMThe convention hotel welcomed us with this lovely display in the bathroom:
The arrangement of colorful potions is elegant – but dangerous. Because if you wanted to create a triptych of (from right) shampoo, conditioner, and ________, for a room often occupied by sleepy, bleary-eyed people, the answer for the third slot is clearly not mouthwash.

The hotel was a Hilton, which is handy because I have no other meaningful association for that name, unlike a lot of people these days. Sure, I'm vaguely aware that there are a couple of people with Hilton as a last name who are suddenly getting a lot of attention for no good reason I've heard of, and that one of them has something to do with some sex video, but that's it, and that's all it's going to be. I have drawn a line in my cultural sand against celebrities who are famous for nothing, especially if they're only celebrities because New York or Hollywood tells us they are. Return to sender, package refused. Just put it on the stack over there, on top of Robert Evans and Bruce Vilanch.
