Today is Awkward Moments Day, a time to celebrate the humor of life's uncomfortable situations (sponsored by Wayne & Laura Gignac of Norwich, Connecticut). What? You're married? I thought you two were brother and sister. You're...oh, I see, you're...both. Um, ok then...

On this day in 1931, electric razors were first manufactured by the Schick Corporation in Stanford, Connecticut.

How about "Mr. Pop-N-Fresh"?
There have been lots of awkward brother/sister moments on the Amazing Race ... Blake & Paige, Azaria & Hendekea - am I missing any others?
Is his name "Whoo-Hoo"??
Yes, there have been a lot of awkward moments on TAR, I'm only sad Miss Alli will not be there to point them out anymore!!!
It's Poppin' Fresh, all right!
JD, I would have accepted your answer, but the NYTimes Crossword Puzzle Championship committee probably would not have :) And Blake and Paige are the first ones that come to my mind...
Kim, not a bad guess, since that's pretty much all he can say aside from pimping Pillsbury products. I'm not all that sad about Miss Alli leaving, but I hope they find somebody awesome to replace her!
