HI TLC!!!!! How are you!
SUre, I'd like to change my name. I'm tired of being me. I want to be someone exciting and new. I'm sick of being maternal and predictable.
I want to walk on the wild side, say and do what I want, fight with people, be rude and wear black leather and tattoos, while at the same time maintaining a sort of lovable eccentricity, so that all is forgiven at the end of the day. Who can I be? I thought of LambChop, but that's too much like the me that is.

About instructions:
Every bottle of shampoo I picked up in my protracted adolescence (Seventies - remember Farrah? Hair was BIG) had the same three one-word sentences tucked demurely under the much bigger type drawing the eye to DIRECTIONS or more succinctly TO USE. Didn't matter if it was Breck Shampoo, unblinkingly made of petroleum, or the newly ascendant slate-black bottles of Vidal Babboon, that turbid weirdness that was shampoo AND conditioner in one gooey palmful (Suave?) or the coyly relabeled engine block detergent in Faberge Herbal Organics. (Shyaaah. Organic CHEMISTRY, duude.)

So just like a very few other icons of commercial American art (like the Meow Mix ads or those commercials where they smacked the **** out of cheap wristwatches) I figure the three words of hygienic guidance are a capsular bit of Americana.

Bet you're breathing easier, TLC, seeing as you survived another Thanksgiving. Some folks just can't tell fowl apart.
