You should just have them removed to save weight.

I feel that I don't have the experience to do this, so when they get too long, I head down to the LBS and let them do it. They have the tools and the know-how...

Better yet, the rotary cutting bits that have become popular over the last 3 or 4 years. For intricate, stylish cutting

Have you been to Bangkok? First you need to get yourself there. Once you're there you make your way over to Sri Ahyutthia Road and a business called Chavel or maybe it is La Chavel. Once inside speak to the gentleman in the suit and tell him that amongst the other services that you'd also like your toe nails clipped. He will find you a young lady that is more than up to the task. Prior to the actual cutting you will be bathed to not only clean those toe nails but also soften them up. She will then cut your toe's and give you a nice massage and basically get you out of the heat of Bangkok for a couple of hours. Sure you can do it yourself, but if you're like me and like to make cutting toenails a special experience, its worth the added expense.

Surely you don't have to go to Bangkok to get a little pedicure action?

They got action in Bangkok that would blow your mind.
One night in Bangkok

THE AMERICAN:

Scene from the music video
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or --
or this place!

COMPANY:

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

THE AMERICAN:

One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother

COMPANY:

It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

THE AMERICAN:

I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --

COMPANY:

Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

THE AMERICAN:

Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

COMPANY:

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

THE AMERICAN:

Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

Scene from the music video
And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage
parlours --

COMPANY:

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
