I can only imagine what horrors they did to the fic writers.

And now for something completely different..... a shameless product plug.
For years, I suffered from dandruff and itchy scalp. I'd shower and shampoo in the morning, then by the time I reported for work my shoulders were caked in dandruff. Very noticeable. So much so people would occasionally 'brush me off'. My scalp constantly itched. I was forever scratching it, which of course did my dandruff problem no good. This went on from before I entered the military until some years after my military retirement. I tried lots of shampoos and shampoo / conditioner combos. Including specialty dandruff shampoos like Head & Shoulders and Selsun Blue. Not only didn't they help, but Head & Shoulders made my scalp more itchy than it normally was. At some point I gave up the quest, realizing that it was my lot in life to put up with dandruff until the day I died.
Then, during a Walmart grocery run maybe two decades ago, I noticed a hair care produce previously unknown to me. It's name: Equate Extra Strength Anti-Dandruff Formula Therapeutic Shampoo, 5% Coal Tar topical. It wasn't all that expensive. I decided to give it a try, expecting nothing. To my utter amazement dandruff and itchy scalp vanished after either its first or second application. They never returned! Long lasting too. Instructions say to use it twice a week, two applications during each use. I find I usually need to apply it only once per shower (rather than twice) for full effect, though occasionally do need a second application. Being fully retired and a stay-at-home who seldom ventures among the public, I don't shower all that frequently. Twice a week is usually sufficient. Occasionally once a week. (I will of course shower more often when the situation demands it.) Anyway, even during those weeks I take but one shower the shampoo remains effective!
Word of warning. it comes in two strength. The one I use, and one with half its tar value. The boxes are very to confuse. On those occasions Walmart has been out of the Extra Strength, I find the Regular version keeps me dandruff-free but leaves my scalp slightly itchy. Maybe not right away. But I notice it before my next shower.
For those who don't have a Walmart close by (or prefer to shop elsewhere, which I fully understand) the label states: Compares to Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo Extra Strength. (It's of course more expensive.)
There you have it. I've sold out to Big Coal-Tar. Be that as it may, if you are someone you know suffers from dandruff and/or itchy scalp you might want to give it a try. As all product endorsements must state, your mileage my vary. It might do nothing for you.

Met a lot of people there, shared ideas for future Elder Scrolls game and then there was that My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Thread that was popular for awhile but eventually puttered out as the sight began to shut down and migrate over to Bethesda.Net. Good times .
