RE: what is your biggest fear?

'bout time you caught up! hehe loving the pic...the hair looks adorable!

quote]

"Adorable" certainly wasn't the first word that came to my mind, but thanks, Rock. Tell you what - can we make a deal? You can play with my hair if you'll let me squeeze those cheeks of yours?

RE: what is your biggest fear?

Is it evening already (I blacked out after the first electric jolt hit, and kinda lost track of time)?

Sorry about your poor eye, Detente, but glad we see eye to eye on this anyway...

RE: Vanity question for older men

Thanks, Uli. I'll give it a try! I hope it's not too late for me, though... (missing California's wet, hot climate)

RE: what is your biggest fear?

I'm most afraid of not achieving what I believe I should achieve.

RE: for Claayer

Sheesh...I feel like I'm a spy in Cosmos Magazine here...

RE: Who wants Ambrose

Thank God for you, Dana! At least one lady here is able to resist the Machiavellian charms of the erstwhile one-eyed lord!

RE: Who wants Ambrose

Damn, Blue, I think that might hurt me more than you...

RE: Who wants Ambrose

See, Uli, this is how it starts. Just the mention of that Machiavellian prankster is sufficient to start the Revolt Against Ambrose....

It was soo good while it lasted....

RE: Vanity question for older men

Now that's a pleasant thought... But I'm guessing it may slightly apocryphal, Claire.

RE: Vanity question for older men

You really think I should tint my eyebrows? (First I'd have to find them)

I actually tried that as a young man - adding a little dark color from my mother's makeup chest to my brows. I wish I could remember how I looked.

Seriously, though this cold, harsh climate has taken a toll on my face. Just in the last couple of years since moving to SD, I've seen new and nasty wrinkles take form. I've actually just started "moisturizing." I also think a good idea is to apply some kind of skin-protectant when taking walking in the hard, freezing wind. Sometimes when I've returned from a few miles of hiking this winter, my face has resembled a wrinkled pumpkin.

If you have any suggestions about skin-protection, etc., feel free to share, Uli.

RE: Who wants Ambrose

You know as well as I do that you have a brilliantly lascivious mind, Blue!

Please allow Fallingman to write your name on a lottery ball, my friend! This contest wouldn't be the same without you. (I'm hoping this whole trip/lottery thing doesn't fall apart...the sound of my newly supersized ego deflating would wake up half the people in Badger County! )

RE: Who wants Ambrose

I might be willing to take him on...if he wears a blindfold, K. That one eye of his really creeps me out....

RE: Who wants Ambrose

Hmmm...you make good points, Uli. I certainly would hate to see your ripe "womanhood" drying up...

Okay, I think the fair thing here is to institute a lottery of sorts. True, I tend to favor the high-IQ types and blondes, but I don't want to be accused of discrimination here. Will just set up a spinning bucket with balls with each applicant's name on it. In order to insure fairness, I suggest we hire Fallingman to run the lottery.

Or would that be something like hiring the fox to manage the henhouse...?

RE: Vanity question for older men

Thanks for the suggestion, Uli! I'm on my way to the hardware store to pick up a grinder for shaping my eyebrows, and some wood stain for my lashes (such as they are).

RE: Vanity question for older men

Well, you had me until that bit about moving the bloody law, K. I mean, I'm in favor of changing violent and bloody laws as the next person, but what does that have to do with gardening or weight-loss??!

RE: Vanity question for older men

I thought that, too, at one time. Problem was, my blood pressure, blood sugar, and aching joints not only didn't love me - they downright *disliked* me.

RE: Vanity question for older men

I'm not... (I'm beautiful in others' ways )

RE: Vanity question for older men

That's the toughest thing of all, Blue. And truth be told, I do find myself being rather jealous of people who can be beautiful regardless of their weight. Something terribly unfair about that...

RE: Vanity question for older men

Hmmmmmmm.... Well, you haven't seen my head, Claire. Think watermelon partly crushed by a pickup truck...

RE: Vanity question for older men

Okay, here's a question for bald-lovers like you, Morgan, and Claire: What if they dude in question has a large, rather misshapen head? Should he still go bald (or maybe just wear a large grocery bag over his head?)

RE: Vanity question for older men

Heh, heh (tying up running shoes, preparing for another grueling chase).

Btw, what happened to you, Rock? Was it something you ate?

RE: Vanity question for older men

Thank God for women like you, Claire. It seems that there may be romantic life post-hair after all (with a few select women...strange that most of the women I'm attracted to don't seem to care so much about hair...with one noteworthy exception).

RE: If you got the chance to take one CS Member out on a date...

Oh, wouldn't that be fun! I'd like to take my girl for a walk through the park or zoo, holding hands, maybe treat her to a cold beer and cotton candy - or an ice cream cone? Then we could go out for a nice dinner, perhaps a movie, and then I'd tuck her in bed and read her a sweet bedtime story (I'm thinking Taboo I-II, or possibly Debbie Does Dallas?).

It would, in other words, be a perfect day! (Like a good dad, I'm always open to suggestions from his darling daughter, of course!)

RE: Vanity question for older men

It's strange how some people eagerly "augment" their appearance, while others - even those such as movie stars, who can afford it - don't. Some truck driver will spend thousands on hair plugs, while another guy with millions in the bank will just shrug and go bald. Go figure.

I don't have any problem with men altering their hair color, to a degree. Mine changes more or less naturally from exposure to the sun - being more obviously blond in the summer than now during this disgusting, endless South Dakota winter. I'd prefer a full head of grey hair than thinning blond hair any day (at least with the former, you can dye it if it bothers you that much).

In any case, it doesn't matter much about the hair if your face is sagging and/or badly wrinkled. I see older guys with massive comb-overs and badly colored hair that to my eye simply look gross in contrast with basset-hound features. I think they'd be better off letting their hair match their face...and better off still if they actually made an attempt to improve their faces through diet and exercise.

There's no reason for the typical middle-aged guy's "fat face" syndrome. Just lose the weight and exercise, and you'll look a lot better than you ever could through dying your hair or beard. For an example of someone who did just that, check out Sting and his new look. His face was all doughy and his hair down to nothing just a few years back, and he completely remodeled himself with diet, exercise (including facial exercise), and, of course, a modicum of plastic surgery and hair plugs (the best money can buy!).

RE: Who wants Ambrose

RE: Who wants Ambrose

You know, at first that sounded like a lot of fun, but now I'm wondering what might be left of me after this over.

RE: Who wants Ambrose

Thanks, Rock. Maybe you could affect one of those cute little wounded bird walks or something? Then I might have a chance...

RE: Who wants Ambrose

I may need a pair of prosthetic limbs to keep up with you, Rock.
