…. I have not had a haircut in almost two months and I am slowly being driven insane by the incessant ear-tickling that my silvering sideburns have been performing on the starboard side of my noggin…. fortunately, though, the sideburns on the left side of my big, round head are growing out at a perfectly perpendicular angle, creating a sort of hairy-shield mesh in front of my ear-hole….
… indeed, on breezy days, the whistling of the wind as it passes the hirsute barrier is quite melodic and musical…. I mean, sure, it isn’t exactly up to wind chime quality, but it is a tolerable tune…
.. the lack of being sheared for the past weeks is also allowing me a glimpse into the varying shades that my mangy pelt has been morphing into as I age…. reds, coppers, silvers, and whites all melding together to create a vaguely blondish hue… were I a horse, I suspect that auctioneers would bill me as a ‘strawberry roan’…
… anyway, I am in dire need of a haircut…. this stuff is getting out of hand….
… the good news, though, is that I have been asked to man the grill tonight and sear two fresh beef filets into submission…. and nothing few things make me happier than grilling steaks…
… and as a bonus, it is quite windy today….. so if I turn my head at the right angle while I’m grilling, I should be able to be entertained by a nice, soft whistling sound which will accompany the sizzling of the steaks….
And if you lean just right, you can singe that long hair off, thus eliminating the need for a hair cut.
Hippy.
I was going to say the same thing that T1G said but he beat me to it. Hey, it's a thought, right? A free haircut and stay nice and toasty at the same time. What more could you ask for?

You sound like a mighty pretty pony - all you need are bows in your hair and some glitter.
;-)
My girls would certainly volunteer to help you out with the makeover if you decide to skip the haircut!

Bullshitted by Eric on December 27, 2006 08:31 PMAre you sure it's the lack of shearing that is giving you the musical tresses? I hear that as men get older they start to grow some pretty dense/long ear hair (ducks and runs for cover!)
Are you growing your hair out to match that picture of you when you were a wee lad (I think you had a toy gun in your hand or some cowboy motif going on)...now THAT was some cute hair!

Bullshitted by Mark on December 28, 2006 04:07 AMI believe they call those "hairy-shield mesh" bits "mudflaps."
Bullshitted by Ken on December 28, 2006 08:19 AMThe post was your usual, but the comments left me in stiches. You have friends who care! lol
Bullshitted by Fiona on December 28, 2006 08:59 AMYou want some sizzle to accompany the sound of them steaks on the grill?
Nemmine that hair.
Just fill up each of your ear-canals with a shot of good ol' 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. After a minute or so, you will hear a nice sizzly popping sound that seemingly emanates from your very Frontal Lobes. And best of all, it blows the accumulated Sweet-Potatoes clean out...
OK, so now you're not so hungry for that steak...
