Lip Balm Anonymous

http://www.kevdo.com/lipbalm/
Before the brisk winter winds send you combing your pockets for a soothing piece of wax to smear across your blistered maw, ask yourself this: Could you stop using it for just one day, or even one hour? If your answer is "no," chances are that you (like me) are a Chap Stick addict -- and a good candidate for the Lip Balm Anonymous club. We may have lost our dignity in exchange for soft, supple smackers, but now, thanks to the Web, we have hope: a 12-step program, testimonials, and a forum in which to share our success in kicking the habit. (You didn't hear it from me, but there are also some good addict tips, such as ditching the drug-less Chap Stick for harder aspirin-spiked stuff like Carmex.) There I go again. Hey, has anyone seen my lip balm?
