Some of you might remember my alter ego Indiana Djundj from back when we had real conspiracies haunting our sub, not seemingly manufactured ones like the canine ballplayer cult apparently based on poor reading comprehension of its founder. Indy's adventures disrupted the evil plans of the Order of the Midnight Animals a few years ago and saved wetshavedom from full enthralment every August ever since. (Part 1, part 2, and part 3 for the curious, but not material to today's goings on.)

A year later, u/Merikus started slandering me/Indiana Djundj, and at the time I struggled understanding why. Until a mysterious u/sukireM made an appearance in the fourth episode of that canine cult podcast yet a year later and was eventually identified as u/Merikus (!), obviously an agent of the Order who has managed to infiltrate the Djudicial Forces for Good. Only then did I understand that u/Cowzilla3 and u/Merikus have been part the evil terrorist Midnight Animal Order for all this time! It's the old terrifying foe in a new disguise attempting to subjugate all of wetshavedom again for the month of August.

In the meanwhile I have been investigating the claims of The Cult (this second generation of the Order of the Midnight Animals), starting with the so-called Cabal hoping to find hints of what they are planning. The fact that u/Merikus had infiltrated it must mean that the Subbrush Organising Committee is viewed as part of the Cabal and a valuable target for The Cult. While I haven't been able to find a smoking gun, I have found evidence of early secret plans of making a badger sub brush, and I even found an early prototype. Some of you might remember that Project MOAR BOAR was active just about the time when u/Merikus ran a podcast where he propagandised the benefits of badger brushes (specifically B14) on a biweekly rhythm. I conclude that The Cult had reason to influence the sub towards a badger brush, so there must be a link between badgers and other Midnight animals. I will keep investigating.

To the shave:

So, a sunny day is not in the cards today. What started as just a rainy day turned into a day with flood warnings. Luckily I happened to be in my alter ego role which means I have a protective hat for a shave in the rain. So I packed my gear in a waterproof bag, waited for a moment of lower rain intensity, hopped on the mobile archaeology lab and drove to my favourite outdoor shaving spot. Usually there's a beautiful view onto the French alps from there, not today. I caught a quick rain shower just after setting up, but then I could start. The prototype MOAR BADGER seems to be not broken in and was quite the lather hog, but eventually I got a decent lather and got a nice shave. At this point I realised that I had packed the wrong AdP Blu Mediterraneo frag (the bottles look practically identical), so I waited to get back home before applying the correct frag.

Theme: Beach, cold drinks, citrus, and cooling agent? It doesn't get much more summer than that.

Relevant post and frag: Myrtle is indigenous to the Mediterranean region, which I strongly associate with summer vacation.

Challenge: documented photographically.
