Bartimaeus Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 I, on the other hand, wish that I had been blind when the ABC coverage of the eclipse showed now-66-year-old Bonnie Taylor wearing something that would be very difficult to classify as a shirt. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Keyrock Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) My coworkers and I took about 15 minutes out of our workday to go outside and watch the eclipse. Here in Charlotte it never got to total eclipse, but it came pretty dang close. Here's my crappy eclipse selfie: It doesn't accurately portray how dark it was. At around 2:40 PM it was about as dark as it usually is around 7:30 PM this time of year.

Orogun01 Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 What's with the pornstache?I also watched the eclipsed but refuse to take a selfie for ideological reasons. 1 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Orogun01 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) What's with the pornstache? Jealous? I might eventually take a picture of my bird nest beard but for now a simple no will suffice. We do have the same haircut though.

Hurlshort Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I also sport the same haircut. Seems to be the Obsidian Forum cut of choice. 1
Keyrock Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) I can't grow a good full beard. I can grow a good circle beard, but if I try for a full beard it's kind of patchy on my cheeks and looks crappy. I feel naked whenever I go babyface, so there's almost always some kind of hair on my face, either a circle beard or, more often, the classic pornstache. Edit: Also, shoutout to my pointy acorn head.

ShadySands Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 My hair grows super quick but not very long. Same with facial hair. I don't shave at all with a razor since getting out of the military so I just stubble around and five o clock shadow like a boss... or middle management at least Free games updated 3/4/21
injurai Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I'll have hair 'til I die. Also I saw a 91% eclipse! Twas kewl.
Azdeus Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I just can't be bothered to shave, so I'm rockin' that wild bushman look. It doesn't grow particularly fast compared to my hair, but it's enough that I can't be bothered to shave every day, or other day. Or once a week/month. I think it's been about 6 months since last time now. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Gizmo Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I tried a full beard once; I couldn't stand it. After two weeks I cut it all off.
Azdeus Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Can't stand stubble myself. I'd laser it all, but it's way to damn expensive.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I go from clean shaven to trashy looking pre-beard in less than a week. Unfortunately it takes too long to grow full beard and I'm too lazy to take the time to groom one while I look like an idiot with a rough beard. Hair grows like a god damn weed and if left unchecked I will be a shaggy mother****er.

teknoman2 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 my facial hair grows very slowly and it was a blessing when i was in the army where a permanent clean shave was mandatory. i shaved once a week and nobody could tell The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did. Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand.
Gfted1 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Ive never had facial hair in my life, and if I let it go too long it starts itching like crazy. Never had long hair either but my luscious mane grows out like a dandelion, like I'm smuggling a basketball, and utterly refuses to lay down. Totally ruined the 80's for me as I was the only one on the planet that didn't have feathered hair. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Gromnir Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 had long hair 'til sophomore year in high school. not quite crystal gayle long, but it reached our arse in a braid. one day during football practice, we got tackled by our braid, which had snuck out from underneath our shoulder pads as it frequent did. legs went out from underneath us while our head got yanked around far enough to make an owl cringe. lights flashed followed by darkness. regained consciousness moments later. our presence on the practice field initial surprised us as we had no immediate recollection as to how or why we should find our self not in our bed at home as we were clear waking up from having been asleep, no? and why were people we kinda/sorta/maybe recognized staring at us from peculiar angles? got our hair cut the next day. been short ever since.
