Spanky is an ass, has always been an ass, and always been an ass.
Other than that he fits in here just fine.
Did I mention that he's an ass?
Li'l dickey syndrome.
Come on Eyeball, I figure a high-flying Doctor/DeputySheriff/Oilman Phlebotomist like you would get on great with an Oenophilic Yachting journalist/Real Estate Investor.
You guys could sit around in the steam, regaling each other with tales of your Capitalistic Acumen, etc.

p/s Spanky is usually a lot funnier than you, and usually on purpose.
If you don't know what a steam shower is you can't afford it so you are better off not knowing.
I guess I'm better off than I thought I was, having a steam cabinet shower in our other house. Next thing you know, I'll have to get rid of that redneck truck I drive and get a BMW or something.
I didn't think the morning could get better, but I was wrong. Knowing I'll be around for a long time after Spanky is in the ground just warms my heart.

I figure the way you figure is why you voted for the wigger.
If it's anything like the one I had years ago, it was great, but I hardly ever used it.
First off, mine didn't heat the water any hotter than it already was. It was more of a mister than a steamer. That's not to say it didn't work.
Second, it sounds great, but I hardly used it. The main reason was that the shower head steamed up the bathroom just fine.
The only times I used it were when I was really sick and stuffed up. I'd get in the shower and used the steamer to unblock my sinuses. It worked great until the hot water ran out.
This is a Mr. Steam high end spa unit. I have it set at 110f and it works great. (We needed a powerful unit because the shower room is exceptionally large.) I have not yet installed the aromotherapy unit. When I do I will report on it.
You do need a completely closed in shower so I had to have an expensive custom door made and installed. Fortunately the ceiling is tiled or that would have been another expense.
Next step is to replace the large glass brick window with louvers.
And, after that is an outdoor Ofuro that the wife wants.
Forgot to mention the bathroom also contains a bidet, a soaking tub with Jacuzzi, a comfort height toilet with heated seat, and heated towel racks.
That ought to set off all the wise asses that like to take shots at the Great Spanokopitas.
You are welcome to your steam. I spent 27 months running around the jungle in conditions similar to what you are proud of paying for. That is why I live in the desert.

We await your report with baited breath, while contemplating instead , your premature death.
Reviewing your rantings, the phrase, " Crying and yelling from a man drowning and dissolving in his own bile, and other toxic secretions", came to mind.
You need HELP Mister, and a little steam isn't going to neutralize whatever's eating you alive.
I'm no psychologist, but I did make a living running a steam power plant for a hospital for many years, so I think that qualifies me as an expert to comment on this thread. I suspect Matt gave the smart assed remark as a defensive measure for the deluge of attacks that he knew were coming regardless of what he had to say. I have met the man and found him to be a gentleman.

So why, other than self flaggelation subsequent to little dickey syndrome, did he provide the fodder for the slapping he got from his slap?
You mean some folks who act like asswholes arent really asswholes, they are just asswhole wannabes?

...well, isn't that just the SWEETEST thing you've read all day. I'll go put on the cookies and hot cocoa.
I have my own suspicions about why he acts the way he does. What he does here, screwing with you guy's doesn't change my opinion of him. I do find some of his BS offensive, but I think it's done for his entertainment. It doesn't seem reasonable to me that he became wealthy without having some people skills. There are a number of rude and arrogant folks on this site that have many thousands of posts and are considered one of the good guys. Is it acceptable to act a jerk unless you are a wealthy jerk?
If you don't know what a steam shower is you can't afford it so you are better off not knowing.
I ordered one off the internet. All I got was a box of rocks and some matches. Now I have two problems. The rocks won't stay lit and the matches keep getting wet in the shower.
We sure do enjoy our steamer, especially in these cold winter days. But ours is a bit different - uses superheated steam, which is much drier and which does not lose its essential quality nearly as quickly as does ordinary steam. The required radiating superheater was considerably more expensive than the pedestrian type of setup (we suffer much less of the suspended water vapor), but well worth the extra cost if one truly enjoys getting steamed.

You have a different definition and understanding of the term "gentleman" than I.
I've have a theory on this .....it must be chemicals of some sort in the drinking water of the PNW. I find that a disproportionate number of the dumb phuuckers that post hail from the PNW. There has to be something in the water of that region that causes their ignorance and little pecker mentality
To me this is pure entertainment. Interesting how it generates all manner of puerile remarks. I guess a lot of guys around here never graduated eight grade. Please try to tone up your invective.
There are two things cracking me up here: #1 Spanokuntpitas thinks he really has something here. Steam generators aren't that new, fancy or pricey. The highest end Mr. Steam unit is still pretty cheap in the world of chit like that...
#2 Spanokuntpitas touting Mr. Steam as if it were the be all end all in steam showers. Hell just read some of the reviews to understand why this a laugh...
Raining today, probably won't have much Tasting Room traffic so I think I'll just sit here and tweak the weak minds. Not as much fun as shooting squirrels but almost...
I don't get it. What exactly is the point of a steam shower? You sit in your shower in a cloud of steam? Thats it? And I would be expected to pay a good deal of money for this "experience"?
Brilliance huh....somewhere you seemed to have forgotten to dodge and parry,but continue on it's amusing to see you think you're getting over on us dimwits

Try it after a long day hunting or doing hard physical labor. You will be surprised at how it relieves muscle pain and makes you feel utterly relaxed and clean. It is good for meditating and ruminating. Sorta like smoking a joint. Try it you will like it.
You are correct it is expensive the only other times I've taken steam is at my club or at $400.00+ hotels/motels. Not for everyone. Considerably less expensive per treatment now that I have it in my upscale bath/spa. Can't wait to get the aromotherapy unit hooked up.
It is a great Christmas gift. And, as The Wife says, "I deserve it for all my hard work and brilliance".

"His brilliance" is no doubt having trouble wiring up the aromatherapy unit....
Naw, you've got your files mixed up, ....easy enough to do on these lower grade computers that us working class types are stuck with. I hear that Spanky's computer desk has a built in combination douche bag / bidet, designed and patented by a tormented Lithuanian idiot savant, before he committed suicide by jumping into a crucible of molten pig iron.
Anyway, the pic you posted is of Kent and I,.....few here are aware that we were twins, separated by the winds of a cruel and hitherto unrevealed twist of fate, many years ago. We both matured at a very young age,....I'm the one with the good haircut, Kent was always a bit scruffy back than,.....though his behavior and personal hygiene have markedly improved over the years.
HERE is a pic of Spanky and his people,....IIRC he's the second one in from the left, sporting his endearing and winning smile.
I would sure hire that little beaut on the far right in a heartbeat, he could run around under Semis and larger mobile equipment doing grease jobs and brake checks with none of the attendant lost time involved with creepers or hoists, couldn't he? If he were interested, he'd be GREAT for picking berries on the lower part of our trellises, too.
Alas, He's the director of marketing for the low grade swill that this outfit is brewing in old radiators, and plastic septic tanks.
Glad I could clear up any confusion, and feel free to contact me, anytime.
I don't have any 'people', so may be a while getting back to you.
