I am now a skinhead

Silly people who cut their hair...  Avoid the disappointment!

Man, I'd grow it out like you... Used to have it long, and I've been wanting that back again. I just can't seem to transition out of that bad midway stage. You know what I mean..

Therefore the Sid thing is the best compromise. Only haircut inbetween shaved and long that doesn't make you look like a square or a weenie.

[Selby]

I just can't seem to transition out of that bad midway stage. You know what I mean..

Oh yes.  It was a very sucky stage.  But in reality for me it lasted about 4-5 months before it was long enough to pull back.

[NowhereMan]

I need to get a hair but soon, tbh I just go to a nice cheap barber and get a short back and sides. Haven't had that messed up yet (though I know one or two people who have, including one guy who found them cutting his hair before he'd even finished saying what he wanted. I avoid that place). I intend to one day go to one of the traditional barbers in London and get a full treatment but since I'm not living there at the moment and couldn't afford to do it more than once I'll settle for cheap and quick.

I've also abandoned the Mach 3 and got a safety razor instead since I don't trust myself with a straight edge. The badger brush however beats the pants off oil or foam (and also works out cheaper long term, win-win).

[Nerf]

I'm afraid to google "badger brush".

[NowhereMan]

Just make sure to add "shaving" to that

It gets to be such a pain once it passes the shoulder blades.  And when it's long enough to sit on all the time it really sucks.  I don't know why I'm letting mine grow out again.

[Selby]

Multiple rubber bands and braids are your friend.  But yes, it is annoying to sit on if you aren't careful.  Especially in bed in the middle of the night when it gets rolled on and wakes you up.

[Lantyssa]

I like my hair loose unless I'm working inside a computer or such.  Also, after having put rubber bands in my hair, I never will again.  Ow, ow, ow!  Thicker hair bands or scrunchies only.  I don't mind braids, but they're more fun when friends do them.

[Signe]

I agree.  Rubber bands are NOT your friend!

[Selby]

I meant rubber band in the generic sense of the word, those rubber hair bands are awful.  I prefer to use the ouchless version or whatever brand they are (they tie it back, aren't really rubber, etc).  Last longer than those crappy rubber bands as well (less chance of hitting someone in the face when tying it back).

[Signe]

Oh right.  Sorry.  I thought you meant rubber bands as in real rubber bands like the sort that around asparagus.  When I was small, rubber bands were used on my hair sometimes and it was dreadful.  In a hurty way.  I used to quite enjoy shooting them at people though.

I recently bought a car from my barber. Well stole it really great deal. He is a man and cuts men's hair. What do I say? Just long enough that I can brush it , Tapered in the back and ratchet the burns up. He charges $12 I give him $20 and hes glad to see me the 3 or 4 times a year I come in. I turn 56 in a few weeks and he knows all about the weirdness of nose hair, eyebrows, and the hair growing out of my ears. A good male barber is worth tipping.

I am not 100% understanding what you mean.  You either stole a car from the barber or bought a car from one.

Common Ched $2,000 For a 4 by 4 with 90,000 miles? I get to put antique plates in 4 years on a SUV? $ l 5 seed manual with a full transfer case and good tires? It's a 92 Geo tracker 4X4 with 90,000 miles. I still haven't busted the 91,000 cherry. It doesn't leak or smoke. Flys through Echech. I haven't had a car for 12 years and I am happy as a clam.

I owned 2 Trackers and was very  with both.

Still not 100% understanding what you mean, but good for you!  <this is not a drunk post, I am honestly confused>

[Abagadro]

He's saying he got such a good deal that he practically stole it from the guy. It's a turn of phrase. Not that complicated.

I really need to learn how to braid my own hair. Here's me ravaging my kitten after a day of painting:



I really need a fucking haircut. Use hair-ties that don't have metal clamps. Painting in 90F+ weather is shit for hair.

[Lantyssa]

Kitteh!

Good call on the bands with metal clamps.  I forgot about those.  Ouch, again.

[Signe]

You seem to have painted something hot purpley pink, haven't you?  I think you must still do acid!

[Sky]

Ah, the front room. We found the can of paint they used, it was still in the garage. There was a mark-down sticker on it that said $5. Then that was crossed off and it was marked $3.

Yeah. That room is slated to be painted dark green and become the library with lots of woodwork and shelves and books and stuff.

Put in a shiny dark brown leather club chair and ottoman and buy a pipe.  I'll start calling you Old Bean.

[Sky]

Exactly. Hopefully in a few years we can build out a bit and expand the library. Then I'm going to commission a series of portraits from the local art college students. The big life-sized kind. Me in a smoking jacket, me in a safari outfit, me in a red hunting jacket, her in a southern belle outfit, her in a victorian gown, etc. Then when I retire I'll just wear smoking jackets and smoke pipes and tell everyone what a jolly good chap they are and to keep a stiff upper lip.

I might not be joking.

[Signe]

I think it's a very cool idea, Old Bean.  Only the men retire to rooms like that for a brandy.  The women sit in the garden and ogle the stable boys. 

You've been really hiding that toffee nose well, Sky!  I had no idea!   

[Sky]

I think my fiancee might be more apt to ogle the unstable boys.

Also, XO ftw. VS is only good for cooking.

My sister's father-in-law bought a house that had several of those huge portraits of the family patriarch up.  I told him he should ask to have those thrown in to the transaction to spice up the deal.  He could even make up stories about who the guy was and what relation he was to the family and when told with a straight face, no one would be the wiser...  For some reason he didn't think that was very funny (lighten up you bastard!).

[Fraeg]

Don't sunburn the top of your head, that fucking HURTS

and itches like fuck when it peels

[WayAbvPar]

Yep, it is fucking miserable. I have been known to purchase a hat from the pro shop if I ever hit the golf course and realize I forgot my hat. Not as bad now that I have grown my hair out again, but I ain't takin' any chances.
