The “the that’s right, I just accidentally shaved my head post” post

On the bright side, though, no embarrassing tan lines. My being a shut-in and all.

So there’s that.

    What? No pictures?

    What have we here, laddie? Mysterious scribblings? A secret code? No! Poems, no less! Poems, everybody!

    The laddie reckons himself a poet!

    Did you accidentally shave your head? Or was Satch feeling mischievous whilst Daddy was sleeping?

    Nature’s taking care of mine. I think it’s on purpose, though.

    Nobody ever shaves his head by accident, son. But if it was that or else join the Hair Club for Men, well then welcome aboard.

    I still haven’t mastered the clippers, so I left a landing stripe in the middle of my head. At that point, it’s either shave it, or go for some sort of inverse Mr. T. cut.

    Or become a monk.

    Come to think of it, I might have looked really good in a big brown frock.

    Fuck me.

    It’s good to shave your head sometimes and start over. Not necessarily in the winter though.

    I do that sometimes, just to piss off the lice.

    Dude. You have options.

    Unless…

    That is a summer ritual for me. Countdown to the skinhead references from the likes of kkkleo and caric ….

    I’d have thought there were some red pills involved…

    I would have totally gone with the tonsure:

    Tonsure is the practice of some Christian churches, mystics, Buddhist novices and monks, and some Hindu temples of cutting the hair from the scalp of clerics, devotees or holy people as a symbol of their renunciation of worldly fashion and esteem.

  13. Comment by happyfeet on 2/11 @ 6:28 pm #

    Yet another theory is that the tonsure mimics male pattern baldness in an attempt to lend artificial respectability to men too young to display the real thing.

    That’s really just kind of sad.

    Chicks dig the look. Trust me on this. You’ll love it.

  15. Comment by JD on 2/11 @ 6:40 pm #

    And it it far better than a mullet.

  16. Comment by Cincinnatus on 2/11 @ 7:23 pm #

    I did exact same thing once.

    See, this is exactly why my internet persona is anonymous.

    I saw the pictures… I didn’t realize your scalp was purple — OH MY GOD!

    Wrong head! Wrong head! TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

  18. Comment by Robb Allen on 2/11 @ 7:39 pm #

    I seem to recall this happening before. If not several times.

    Maybe you should let Satch have the clippers. Can’t be worse.

    I have a hilariously small head, a souvenier of a childhood trip to the Amazon(that’s what I told my wife anyway she was in the “big nose – big hose” camp andI had to say something) so shaving it would look, well, silly. But thanks to the one good hood spring of my old volvo giving way while I was changing out a bad AMM, I have a large and goofy scar right on the point of my silly little head.

    There you go, that’s everything you need to know about LMC.

    I’ve done this, too. My clippers’ motor smoked out when all I’d cut was an ear-to-ear arc and a bit off the front, like an Osiris shoes logo in black pubes. Not a good look. Neither was shaving it all, but I had to leave the house.

    I was really skinny then, so I learned a lot of classic concentration camp jokes I’d never heard. One guy I know still starts singing “Angel of Death” whenever I show up. It’s my “Norm!”

    And that’s fine. It’s kind of him to remind me how awesome Slayer is.

  21. Comment by serr8d on 2/11 @ 8:29 pm #

    Something like that may be my next option.

    This Richard Gere look just gets ‘old’ after a while. I mean, someone offered me a senior discount the other day!

    MADNESS I TELL YOU!!

  22. Comment by CraigC on 2/11 @ 8:55 pm #

    Whoe is that, JD, Klaus Nomi or something?

  23. Comment by JD on 2/11 @ 9:03 pm #

    CraigC – ???? Wasn’t Nomi some gay mime or something like that?

  24. Comment by J. Peden on 2/11 @ 9:23 pm #

    someone offered me a senior discount the other day!

    All they will offer me is “help out”. I tell them, “no, but I could use a wheelchair.” They never laugh.

    Hmmm…maybe if I just shaved my head? Which reminds me, once I thought I was smart and asked my barber what comes next after his posted “senior discount”. He shot back, “Old age”.

  25. Comment by happyfeet on 2/11 @ 9:28 pm #

    I think JD should get a super-special sticker to take home today for kind of knowing who Klaus Nomi was. One of the cool scratch-n-sniff ones.

    wow that is a hawt look for u!
    i was thinkin the Rock wud play ur part but now we can have Vin Diesel!

  27. Comment by JD on 2/11 @ 9:39 pm #

    happyfeet – I still do not get what CraigC was trying to say to me. People should be well versed on people that like to look like a gay mime, but in reality, are over-the-top vocalists that attempt to fuse any given song with any given style. Could have only happened in the 60’s.

    I even saw the Venture Bros. thing that satired him and I had no clue.

  29. Comment by mishu on 2/11 @ 10:02 pm #

    Going for that Peter Gabriel circa 1973 look eh?

  30. Comment by McGehee on 2/11 @ 10:46 pm #

    Shaved your head? BTDT. This year I’ve decided to defy GLOBAL WARMING!!!!11!!! by not shaving my head. And I’m letting my beard grow out. I’m at the point where the past several times I let the beard grow I decided I didn’t like the way it looked, and shaved. Somehow being only a few months younger than a potential POTUS makes me feel like I can forget about ever hooking up ith a twentysomething supermodel, so whyTF not?

  31. Comment by happyfeet on 2/11 @ 10:48 pm #

    Cause it itches?

  32. Comment by JD on 2/11 @ 10:55 pm #

    Before I forget, did I mention how incredibly fucking cool it was that Junior won his first race with Hendricks Motorsports? I think following that win up with a win in the Duels, and another at the Great American Race will be a nice way to start off the NASCAR season.

    See it live.

    I was talking about the second pic, JD.

    No Britney jokes? I’m disappointed in you guys.

  36. Comment by Merovign on 2/12 @ 1:11 am #

    Never shaved my head.

    Did buy clippers and did the old money-saving self-cut.

    Sold the clippers after that.

    Well, ya know, new barbership opened nearby, $8. Too good to pass up.

    And unlike Lost, I have a huge and slightly misshapen head. When I went into work after that, someone said “Oh my God, they really do walk among us…”

    International Flock of Seagulls day was so much better, all that took was some gel and a hairdryer.

    Great JD. Next thing you’re going to tell me is that nut-hugger jeans forgetfully unbuttoned paired with a two-sizes-too-small sleeveless jean-jacket sans shirt is out of style.

    How can anyone keep up?

  38. Comment by JD on 2/12 @ 6:46 am #

    Only the acid washed jacket,al. Only the acid washed ones. you are still all good.

    No matter how detailed my explaination, too many of those Supercuts-type “stylists” have “minds” of their own.

    Now every month or two I clip it – not shave it – just like those Basic Training “welcome” cuts. I stand in the tub for easy cleanup. It’s not necessary ’cause I have an incredible head of hair [I know, sucks for some of you], but it’s more convenient.

  40. Comment by Belvedere jones on 2/12 @ 7:59 am #

    heh I remember at the end of the school year my father would take me to the barber for a “burr” cut. Hated it. He thought walking down to Baskin Robbins for a scoop afterward had some sort of salve effect. Wrong.

    He also disallowed bangs, a la Beatles.
