        Yes, I’ve been told this is why. Because then you’d know if it was a good gift or not.

            The horse sized ones aren’t OTC. You have to ask the pharmacist as they are behind the counter. Not because they are prescription strength or anything. Apparently its because climatologists keep stealing them for low altitude weather balloons.

              You know if you know, I guess.

              I had a classmate at school who used to boast that he could suck his own dick. We expressed incredulity, but it was a weird flex for one so homophobic.

              My wife has had no complaints. Well, not on that topic at least.

      From Wikipedia:

      The Galvayne’s groove occurs on the upper corner incisor, producing a vertical line, and is helpful in approximating the age of older horses. It generally first appears at age 10, reaches halfway down the tooth by age 15, and is completely down the tooth at age 20. It then begins to disappear, usually half-way gone by age 25, and completely gone by age 30. The groove is named after horse expert Sydney Frederick Galvayne who claimed he had invented the use the groove to age a horse; however, it had been earlier described by his teacher Professor Hamilton Sample.

        But if we called it the Sample Line we’d confuse it with the lines at Costco, and we can’t have that. The Sample Lines are too important.

          There’s a throwaway line in the early season (1 or 2) where he complains about something related to him and that he’s been around for 30ish years and it blew my mind cause I thought he was a teen when I was a teen.

          I can’t seem to find this quote anywhere because film blogs all want to reference the driver’s license dream as his canon birthday but I swear there’s an early episode with this line.

      Well, sort of. While it does refer to horses, it’s actually a reference to how their gums recede as they get older, making the teeth look longer (at least according to Brewer’s).
