Fear not, Babs, most likely I'll be growing it back eventually... probably when I move back to the mountains. Which will happen as soon as I can abscond with Goldberry and move back up there. So it may take a while.Thanks for the info on the headblade. I'm taking R2 up on his offer.

Dig the sig, Sir Bom.I also dig longhaired male types. And shave-headed male types. But I more often end up with longhiared male types. See my photo album. *Shuts up* ------------------

Alas, R2, I had not the leisure to post at will...and yet, as I read the posts, it seemeth that 'twas but two hours that passed betwixt thy post and mine!  And Third -- thou speakest right well for one who is out of practice. ------------------

Fair Lady Bolingbroke, and good sir Third from Left--if, indeed, sir thou art, for I fear me I canst not see thee as well as mayhap a poor simple knight as my self may hope; I have decided of late that the air doth carry a haze it did not in my younger days.Thou both speakest the fairest of tongues most well, I think me, yet the silence as silence of stones issues forth from the lady Fnordia, whose scant admission of familiarity with that creature called a "Ren Festie" did bring us all to this intersection of most welcome brotherhood, as it were. I think me, blessing the mark, that she were mayhap intimidated by such luminaries as our robust and esteemed company. I do hope that she will, or will not, as she may, reveal what skill in the Queen's tongue (GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!) she doth possess. ------------------

Mayhap she is in sooth made shy by thy silver tongues (as in very sooth am I), for thou'rt exceeding facile with thy words and thy mastery of the Queen's tongue is a wonder to behold. I salute thee, Sir Walter (or Sir RedTwo, an't please thee, for I would fain call thee by thy preferred title) and Lady Bolingbroke, and Sir Third (or Master, an thou attain to goals more scholarly yet no less noble than those of knights), and pray that the lady Wondrous Ia may perchance reveal her skill with this fair tongue.And I would be remiss in my duties and heavy of heart were I to write a missive of such length and yet not address the subject discussed by my noble companions, so I shall close with the humble offering of mine own opinion: that long hair is wonderfully pleasing on men, excepting only that which reaches but to the chin; yet shorter hair may be equally attractive. Still, I must in honesty say that I do not like bald heads half so well. Trying to get in practice... much better at it in type than speech, though.------------------

Forsooth, some men there be who look passing well with shaven poll, though they be few and far between -- marry, I doubt not that it liketh Sir Bombadil well enough -- and others to whom long hair is most flattering. I care not, so long as he keepeth it well and hath a merry heart.It pleases me well to see that the Lady Genarti hath such a way with words, and join with ye all in wishing to speak with the Lady Wondrous Fnordia.

And yet again do I return me unto this wondrous abode, to inform one and all that the intriguing device of which was spoken even now wings it's way, via this good nation's care under the auspices of care-laden postal masters, to the home of our embaldened Sir Bombadil. Enclosed also are a small selection of pictorial representations of this mine home area, as well as a fine box of locally prepared yumminess. Share them well, good Sir Bom, for I hear me that such delicacies as "Aplets and Cotlets" are scarce in such climes as thine.Ahem. Nifty-lookin' little razor thingie, tho. I didn't get extra blades 'cause I don't know what you prefer. But it's on it's way! ------------------

I cannot but chide myself for so long a silence among such fair-spoken folk. My friends, I confess it surpriseth me but little to hear the old melody of language here; sweet it is to the ear, even as the music of fountain and brook to one who has wandered long in dry desert lands.As to the meat of our discourse here: indeed I would fain see thee bareheaded, Sir Bombadil, for it seemeth me that thou wouldst appear all the more noble -- dare I say, majestic? And further, that thou bearest now a closer resemblance to that role thou didst once play beside me, I have within me a great desire to behold. Thy portrait, Sir Bombadil, I entreat thee! Lady Genarti, I am covered with confusion to disagree with so valiant a lady, but I must say that many a man and many a fair youth have I seen, whose hair reached but to his chin, and whose appearance was all the more pleasing withal. Indeed, one such is a near friend of mine, and long have I held in my heart an anger at his mother and father, who have forbidden him to wear it much longer than the fur of a tabby cat. Fie for shame! ------------------

I have returned to this, the most self-serving of discourse, to make report on the benefit of that most wondrous device, the Headblade™ which has been so graciously procured by our Lord CrimsonDeux (many thanks to him and God save the Queen) and delivered forthwith to my estate.As per my usual wont, I began the process while adorned in the raimant of my day of birth and bedewed by a luxurient stream of hot water. Gently I applied a lather of aloe enriched cream of shaving to mine pate and readied the Headblade™ on the center finger of my right hand. Tentatively, I reached my hand, so adorned in the shining steel of a blade honed to a sharpness of which only Excaliber itself is the like in make. Were King Arthur so deft a wielder of that most sacred of blades as I am of this wondrous piece of work, the Headblade™, then I would wager that during his reign in Camelot he must have lost his nose and several of his fingers with the possibility that even a limb of his own body may have been removed by the prowess of his own hand. Yay, verily, even now I am bedecked with a cotton pad held firmly in place by a strip of steadfast adhesive that giveth me the air of such noble personages as Lester Nessman, formerly of the estate of WKRP in the principality of Cincinnati. Yet I say unto you that even as a sacrifice of mine own lifesblood was poured forth I ventured to continue and complete the depilation of my noddle. And when at last an end came and all was rinsed away the smoothness of my pate was like unto marble alone. A smoothness which I, myself, was troubled to cease from exploring. Yay, verily if you wish to sever a head from a neck , the sword of Arthur is thy greatest tool, but if the depilation of thy noddle is thy goal then, I warrant, only the Headblade™ would suffice to make the complexion of thy scalp an equal to the enmarbled gods of Ancient Rome. And as for portraiture of my visage, verily ye shall be satisfied on the day that such portraits have been delivered into my hands, that I may, then, deliver them unto you. IP: Logged |

I'll take that to mean you cut yourself, put a bandaid on it, then finished shaving your head, and it's now all smooth. Yes?
