Righteous.

Is Farmall Red (a lovely hue, incidentally) classified under "red" or "some freakish color" for the purposes of the poll?

I would say that is a freakish color.

Maybe John Deere green?

Only if he does the yellow trim as well.

Okay, now...

I put up "some freakish color" b/c I knew you folks would have fun with that. That's also why I said I would take the poll results into consideration.

Realistically, I can't do the freakish color. Unfortunately, it would never fly at the type of businesses I work at (at least the ones I've worked at in the past 2 years). If I were running my own show, or still at OCM, then I could do it no sweat. I'm already having a hard enough time keeping a job though...if I dye my hair a ridiculous color, that'll make it that much worse.

Not that I haven't completely ruled it out...

And with props to my bald brothers, sorry...I love my hair too much. In fact, it's at its longest point in 5 years. After going back and forth for the past 2 years, I've decided to try and grow it out.

Hmmm...lemme find a couple of pics here.

Okay, here's one pic, from 1997. My hair is short here (I'm the second from the right):

The whole denying your grey thing is just trying to say you're not gettin' old. You, sir, are gettin' old. And the harder you try to pretend it isn't happening, the more freakish you'll look when you do get there. You might look like this:

Certainly not dignified.

elSicomoro · 03-17-2003, 09:15 PM

I may be getting old...but I'm not as old as you.

(Aw schnap!)

This photo shows my hair about as close to possible to its current length (1996):

Oh, and then there's the drivers license pic (2001):

and dude ... if you dye the head, you gotta dye the chin too ...

elSicomoro · 04-05-2003, 08:13 PM

Man, I completely forgot about this...

I did wind up dyeing my hair 2 weeks ago. The color chosen was cinnaberry (more berry than cinna)...a reddish-brown color. When I'm in the light, it gives off a cool glow.

It's starting to fade already though...it was only a level 2 colorant, which generally lasts through 24 shampoos. I'm probably going to dye it again, after I get it trimmed up.

At the moment, I'm trying to grow my hair out. It's probably at its longest point since I was 14 months old. The goal is to grow the top long, while keeping the sides and the back short. My bangs currently go halfway down my nose. I think I'll make an appointment next week to get the sides and back cut and the top thinned out (I have incredibly thick hair...it's the native american in me).
