Home made hat? Home made hat!

One week left of Mustache March. I dyed my mustache today so that it would match the rest of my hair. It always grows in multi-colored (brown mixed with blond) for some reason.

I would follow that stern gaze into the depths of hell itself.
The moustache is also pretty awesome.

It took a while, but I finally grew a beard I can be proud of.

A friend got it for me.

I wore it during our Burning Wheel session last night, because we're all playing as dwarves.

Hey Hagrid. I saved Buckbeak when you were gone. I could have saved my parents but I still chose Buckbeak. For you.

Appearing like a specter out of the dark, and disappearing as he came.

by **Gordon** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 3:07 am UTC

Meh, I'm bored, I'll stick around for a while (at least until mid-night)

How's things Jacque.. when are you coming to visit me?

by **Giant Speck** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 2:40 am UTC

I'm on the right. That was about eight miles into the ride on Saturday. Oh, how happy I looked then.

Also, that poor sucker on the left convinced himself at the last minute to bump up from the 45 mile ride to the 65 mile ride and then did it on a mountain bike. He wasn't having an incredibly good time. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he started the ride an hour early (he accidentally started with the 100-mile riders at 0630 instead of with the 65-mile riders at 0730).

by **Garm** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:35 am UTC

Impressive that you went 80ish miles (since you got pulled off the course early, right?) on a commuter bike. I'd want all the tire skinnyness I could muster. And a comfy seat (or some sweet chamois).

by **Giant Speck** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:25 am UTC

Yeah, it's a Trek 7.2 FX. It's great for commuting and 40-50 mile weekend rides, but I discovered after 50 miles or so that I really wish I had a decent road bicycle instead. I guess I should start saving up for one.

Thought I should post.

Sadly I've had to shave because my school doesn't take kindly to facial hair.

by **SlyReaper** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 6:23 pm UTC

Why does your school think it's any of their business?

Is the headmaster jealous he can't grow as good a beard as that?

by **eSOANEM** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 10:06 pm UTC

I don't know. Whilst not quite a uniform, the sixth form still has a strict dress code and uniform ties so it's in keeping with that. Still, I care more about the fact that I just about get away with my hair (which you can't quite see in this photo); that takes a lot longer to grow back. :lol:

I've had the same problems with school before. It's none of their business in my opinion.

by **eSOANEM** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 4:47 pm UTC

Yeah, philosophically I can see that, but it's a vaguely self-consistent thing to do with "the school's image", I've got more important things to worry about and, most importantly, I've only got three more weeks before we break up for exams after which I very much doubt they'd bother asking me to shave/get my hair cut (perhaps I should post this in the awesome thread instead). :lol:

And here we see a LinuxPenguin hard at work.

I hate those sorts of things. My colleagues sometimes make jokes about my hair and tell me to get a hair cut, then my boss likes to remind them he looked like me when he was younger, but had to cut it when he started balding. And that they're just jealous of my beard

You've probably heard it before, but you look like Simon Pegg. And an hour and a half? Jeez, must be some problem...

I had the same thought about Simon Pegg.

I have. :p And it was. And the customer was a perpetual clicker, too.

You look like what Simon Pegg would look like if he had to deal with customers in tech support.

You are excused, you look great!

by **Giant Speck** » Wed May 09, 2012 7:46 am UTC

I wish I didn't look so weird in a hat. Also, I wish I had nicer clothes. I'm normally just a T-shirt and jeans kind of man.

by **DaBigCheez** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:55 pm UTC

So, I decided to take a haircut today. I offer the provided pictures to show why if everyone followed my haircut methodology, hairdressers would probably be out of a job.

Namely, I let it grow until it starts getting in my eyes and irritating me (takes about six months), then take my REVENGE and shave it all off, then repeat the cycle.

Spoiler:

by **sophyturtle** » Tue May 15, 2012 7:28 pm UTC

I have this idea too! Except the cutting of mine will wait until it is long enough to donate. And I was only going to cut it to 1 inch, but considering how fast it grows why not have a shaved head for a week?

by **Plasmic-Turtle** » Thu May 17, 2012 8:28 am UTC

DaBigCheez, this probably sounds slightly creepy, but

Spoiler:

Also, I fully wanna shave my head one day, but I'm not brave enough... I hate that awkward length when it's longer but still too short to tie back and I don't know what to do with it, and I have an irrational fear that it might grow back grey. Or a brownish colour that I don't like so much.

You look super-hot post-haircut
Not sure why exactly it seems so different, perhaps you have a very shapely head... or perhaps it's just the loss of the black hair-cutting cape?!

Perhaps it's because he looks old enough in the second picture that it's a lot less creepy to think that. No offense DaBigCheez but you look pretty young in the first picture.

I shaved my hair six months ago and regretted it so much. I hated having short hair and I'll be growing my hair for as long as possibly now, but I do quite enjoy what I've got at the moment:

Okay, so it's more than just a face, but here's about 30 pictures from my recent climbing trip:

My hair was getting far too long, and i was tired of tucking it behind my ears, so... Haircut!

This was last Christmas, but it's one of my favourite pictures of me. Sadly, I have no idea where the headband is now.
