Skinheads don't smile.

So, Mrs. Eudamonia is having an issue with my latest expression of Objecitivism and vanity.

I promised myself a while back, that if I did not get my maternal grandfather's head of hair, that I *was not* going to be "Comb Over Boy".

Well, my hair starting thinning.

So, facing reality squarely, I broke out the razor and finished the job.

I love it.
She hates it.

Her reaction: it makes me look like a skinhead.

My response: it makes me look like a bad-ass, it's *way* better than a comb over, and !!!skinheads don't smile!!!.


So, here's your chance to chime in.

Mrs. Eudaimonia: right or wrong?

    I don't know....I think I'd want to have a massive combover for a month or so, just to enjoy really making a statement.

    Looks good, by the way. My hair is thicker than a bad toupe...and it looks like a bad toupe if I don't get it cut often.

    If your wife wants you to grow it back out, do so.

    Then take the front and curl it for the "kewpie doll" look. She will then quickly shave it for you :)

    Thank you very much! Very, very funny. I saw that movie only once, many years ago. I had completely forgotten that scene. What a noble sacrifice! What stamina!

    What to do? What to do? Definitely not the comb-over... most everyone notices. A happy wife is crucial to one's own happiness... You look fine to me either way, but I think female opinions in this matter are superior. None more so than that of your beloved.

    The style is called a Julius Caesar.
    It is technically a comb-over.

    What changed was I moved.
    Back in the Peoples Republic of Connecticut, I went to a barbershop in Oakville, Salvatore and Sons.
    It was like walking onto the set of "A Bronx Tale".
    I got to speak broken Italian, have an espresso, and get my haircut.
    It was a "manly man" joint.
    It was also a kind of time warp.

    I have found no place in Cheyenne comparable.
    So... razor time.

    Ya know... I'm going to sound like a girl now... I left the Premiere saying "I need to get Rick's haircut." It was a few months ago. What happened between then and now?

    If you really want to look bad ass you need a black pork pie to wear. :)

    I like it Eud. Now if you get an Atlas Shrugged tattoo on your head I could see where Mrs. Eud might be upset.
