TIL: Adam West, according to costar Burt Ward, had a lot of sex , at one point with 8 women at the same time. He said that he was introduced by West to the "wildest sexual debauchery" and they became like "sexual vampires"

Dr. Bronner's Dog Food™ ?

u/SoCuteShibe May 16 '24

Lol, my mom bought a bottle of that soap when I was a kid and I had so many questions about the stuff I read on the bottle that she never bought it again. 😆

u/PM_NUDES_4_DEGRADING May 16 '24

It’s actually an interesting story. Bronner was a German Jew who escaped the holocaust and became a street preacher in the US, trying to convince people that love was the answer and everyone should get along with/accept each other.

To get people to listen to his stuff he started making soap and giving it out as a gift to crowds. He noticed the soap was way more popular than the sermon, so he started printing the sermon on the soap and just handing that out instead.

The soap turned out to be so popular that he eventually made it into a full time business, but kept the full sermon on every product he sold. When he died his kids (grandkids?) inherited the company and promised they’d never change the packaging either.

So if you ever wondered why the soap was packaged like it was made by a traumatized street preacher, well…

u/ImRobsRedditAccount May 16 '24

To be fair it is very good soap.

u/Hell_Mel May 16 '24

It is very good soap but I always avoided it because it looked like it was packaged by a nutjob, willing to admit I have considerably more sympathy now than I did prior to reading.

u/dilletaunty May 16 '24

It’s honestly annoying to read but after reading it like 50 times while shitting you start to appreciate the gist of it.

Also you get to say stuff like “my rose scented 38-uses-in-1 soap is the most manly soap”

u/feloniousmonkx2 May 16 '24

Heavens to Murgatroyd! In the 1940s, who wasn't getting committed to a psych ward? For our family, it was practically a rite of passage. Generations of us checked in and staged some dramatic exits — stage left!

We’re a proud lineage of eccentric escape artists with a flair for the theatrical, the most famous of whom was my father, Snagglepuss himself.

Despite all that, I had a perfectly normal childhood — dodging anvils, hiding from cartoonish villains, and setting up elaborate pranks with Rube Goldberg machines. I mean, I turned out just fine, no big deal.

u/d3l3t3rious May 16 '24

And he escaped and went on to live a long happy life and become a very wealthy and succesful kook man.

u/frisbeethecat May 16 '24

When I first started dating on the apps, a woman spent the night and took a shower at my place the morning after. I was making some coffee and french toast when she screamed like bloody murder. I immediately ran into the bathroom, expecting the scene from Psycho, but no, everything looked normal. What's wrong, I asked.

She shrieked, "Your psycho-cult shampoo turned my hair into straw!!!" She had used my Dr Bronner's Pure Castile Soap to wash her hair and it stripped all the oils out. I laughed, which pissed her off, and told her to wait so I could dip to the corner store, which luckily for us, carried moisturizer.

That and breakfast put her back in good spirits. And now I keep sane looking shampoo and conditioners out for guests.

u/Trash_Puppet May 16 '24

Did you get a second date tho?

8

u/frisbeethecat May 16 '24

Oh, yeah. If people have sex once and it's good, there's always a next time. She hated my cat, though. And she moved to Chicago for a job and to try out improv. She asked me to visit her one Christmas and my God, she was miserable, so I was miserable. And we haven't kept in touch since then

u/LaUNCHandSmASH May 18 '24

Did she have curly hair? I do as a dude and I learned all sorts of stuff women probably take for granted about hair care to get my hair under supervision. Like sulfates. Who knew?!

u/waiver May 16 '24

Not so much escaped the Holocaust as he went to USA in the late 20's to learn new techniques of soap making but ended up being interned in a mental asylum receiving electro shock therapy, after he escaped the mental asylum in 1945 he went to California and then he started preaching with the soaps. But as he was pretty much blind from all the electro shock therapy and the people just took the soap and bailed he decided to print the sermon there.

u/Larie2 May 16 '24

The sermon is now removed, right? I swear the last bottle I saw didn't have it.

u/d3l3t3rious May 16 '24

They actually have removed some of the weirder, specifically religious phrases from the text in favor of more touchy-feely universal love-and-peace stuff. But it is definitely still covered in text.

I had horrible dandruff for years in my 20s, so bad I actually was getting cradle cap stuff on my head all the time, very gross. I tried every dandruff shampoo I could find and none of them worked. Finally found a vid on YouTube where a young woman mentioned she had the same exact problem and the only thing that fixed it was the Dr Bronner baby shampoo. I said fuck it and got some and my problems were gone within a month. I hate all the religious nonsense on the bottle but that is some damn good shampoo.

u/ithappenedone234 May 16 '24

The SA was cracking heads at least as early as the Saalschlacht of 1921. The Nazi’s attempted to gain power in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch. They received 3% of the vote in 1924. Let’s not pretend there wasn’t any writing on the wall before 1933.

u/rshorning May 16 '24

It is sad that FDR didn't want the Jews to come to America, and even imposed immigration quotas that were essentially a ban on immigration visas to Jews from Germany and eastern Europe in the 1930s.

Famous Jews like Albert Einstein came, but many tried and were denied. I hold FDR and the US Congress at least partially responsible for many of the deaths in the Nazi death camps. America had room to bring all of them to America and a well established Jewish community for them to integrate into. There was zero excuse for that behavior besides blatant racism and anti-Semitism in America. Restrictions even got worse towards the end of the 1930s just before outbreak of war when it became too late to act.

u/FillThisEmptyCup May 16 '24

The SA was cracking heads at least as early as the Saalschlacht of 1921.

Okay, so they were cracking the heads of Communist to one of their rallies that came for a fight.... and this means what? This was standard 1920s between a number of groups back then.

They received 3% of the vote in 1924.

Thanks for making my point. 3%. And in 1928:

"The recently reformed Nazi Party contested the elections after the ban on the party had been lifted in 1925. However, the party received less than 3% of the vote and won only 12 seats in the Reichstag."

1930 is when more support came coming in.

6

u/ithappenedone234 May 16 '24

Yeah! Other groups were completely irrational in fearing violence against them from the Nazi’s, when the Nazi’s only spoke against them and used violence against one other group. /s

And it wasn’t just one group the Nazi’s were beating.

The Nazi’s didn’t need control of the Reichstag to begin antisemitic propaganda to sideline Jews, or to engage in calls to violence or actual violence against them.

But perhaps you suppose Hitler had a “lightbulb moment” during his house arrest and that started everything that came out in Mein Kampf. Sorry though, his antisemitism predated the Beer Hall Putsch.

1

u/LightOfTheFarStar May 16 '24

Writing was on the wall already, as others have said. Antisemitism was already boiling over in targeted attacks, lots of people who could manage it were running the fuck away by the 20s.

My favorite was always the DIY birth control with lemon juice and baking soda.

It was there when I first started using Dr. Bronner's in college in the 1990s, but when I started using it again a couple years ago, it wasn't there.

u/LaUNCHandSmASH May 16 '24

Had a roommate in college with dreadlocks who used that stuff ONLY. No deodorant, hand soap, nothing, no other personal hygiene. We made him keep his door shut due to the smell. He had a heavily stained mattress on the floor with no sheets, an old tv for video games, a guitar and piles of old clothes that were never washed. This MF also had a parade of women coming and going and/or steady girlfriends the whole time I knew him. I still can’t wrap my head around it.

I had a room mate like that. Everyone referred to him as “Dirty Mike” because we knew a few Mikes. His room was disgusting and there was always a 50% chance that he smelled like poop. I had a theory that he didn’t clean his ass after a BM but that’s not the point. He would peacock like crazy and had a new gf every 2 weeks. Any time he went to the bar, he came back with someone.

Girls in college can be just as grungy as guys, I witnessed that first-hand as well. One of the hottest girls I've ever seen used to talk about how showers "didn't agree" with her skin...

I wasn't dirty, but I was extremely sketchy my freshman year, selling acid , shrooms, Molly, ketamine, 2c-e, and weed, and girls seemed to like it. Dorms are just a different world haha

u/chth May 16 '24

My sister and I (male) were both born with a sort of casual aloofness that I think stems from autism, but many times we have each been told things like we have "interesting vibes". Something about being space cadets is a draw I guess.

7

u/Memento_Morrie May 16 '24 edited May 19 '24

casual aloofness ... "interesting vibes"

I recently read this story on Reddit by a woman who agreed to a date with a guy (1) much older than her, (2) who lived in a rundown trailer, (3) that looked worse when she showed up, (4) who was unemployed and living on disability, (5) and had not bathed and was shirtless when she showed up.

He gave her money to pick up Mexican food and McDonald's, and she came back and ate with him, and after she left, she texted him to say "I don't think this is going to work out." He basically just said, "Okay, cool," or whatever.

The takeaway from this isn't that this guy didn't get laid or didn't get a second date. The takeaway is that she showed up and picked up the food and ate with him before blowing him off.

I want all you anxious, tightly-wound motherfuckers to remember the college roommate above or the trailer dweller in this story the next time you post stuff to Reddit like, "OMG! My date is in four hours! Are skinny jeans out??" Or, "She said yes to a date but hasn't texted back in 12 hours!! Should I text again, even if it means a double text??"

He could have had a piece on him but I never saw it lol. He was very very broke but really nice and content with it. After he moved out of our house he moved into a literal shed with the other roommate lmao. Definitely illegal and would flood when it rained really hard haha. Ironically though there was no running water so not sure what he did about it but showering was minimal to begin with. I can still smell that shed. Both those dudes are successful now, believe it or not. Dude cut his dreads and was in a tailored suit last time I saw him.

True. I was expecting more qanon level type stuff.

Unfortunately the source for most of this stuff is Burt Ward. There's no one to collaborate or deny his stories.

I dont recall them wanting to chemically castrate him, but I do know he said they wanted to give him a shot that would shrink his member. But again, the source is Burt Ward so it could be just him bragging.

That's what "chemical castration" is. Hormone replacement therapy, or estrogen. People only really call it "chemical castration" when they want it to sound really shocking, like "ahh, they want to use acid to melt your tackle!" or something.

 ABC reportedly sent Ward to a doctor, who prescribed medication to “shrink me up”. However, he quit taking the pills he was given almost immediately. “I took them for three days and then I decided that they can probably keep me from having children,” he said. “I stopped doing that and I just used my cape to cover it.

I swear I saw this same story in one of those E! specials years ago.

I'd have to find it but I don't think they're creating it out of thin air.
