In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
The Rules
Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
The thing about Swedish chicks is that they all know that everyone wants to bang a Swedish chick, and thus ups their own sense of self-worth accordingly.

"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink, because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.
Bitter, you're cute just as you are. But what will you do when those wiry grey hairs start sprouting from your eyebrows and ears, instead of your chin?
Honestly, I can't wait till I go completely grey. Yeah, I'm impatient. It's kinda, ok fine, get it over with already.
Grey ear hair will be a plus, they won't be as apparent!
Promise you'll do a photo essay of your ear and eyebrow hair growth? Like a pictoral Andy Rooney thing without the blah blah commentary?
My dad and gramps had more hair in their noses and ears than on their head. I used to chuckle and poke fun. Until the other day I got out the magnifying mirror and noticed a couple of wiry white hairs in my eyebrows. It only took a strong yank with my fingers to pluck them out. How long before I have no eyebrows or need to pencil them in? Dark chin and upper lip hair doesn't count, I've been plucking a few of those for years. It's like a deathbed request and my kids know it.
It seems easier to age for males. You can grow hair in places women can't. And what's up with the gut girth double standard?
No one else has noticed that as men age and lose their hair, they tend to gravitate toward younger women with big hairdos? Or the greyer men get, the blonder their women are? Or that as men get that belly beer gut, they want women with big boobs? At the very least they buy a fancy imported car with a convertible top and dual exhaust. vroom vroom.
Well, I've noticed it and it makes me sad. Where did all my progressive peers go? I mean the ones who don't want to keep reliving our high school or college years as if all of life is about looking good and being popular by fucking the prom queen or head cheer leader.
Where did everyone go?

It sounds like you're talking about equality and simply put there is no equality because the sexes are not equals, they are opposites.
I don't find getting older easy, it is just not something I see any point in fighting. The more I see of people that fight the aging process (cosmetic surgery etc) the more I accept the idea of getting, greyer, balder and wrinkled. If you fight the inevitable, you will inevitably lose the fight.
And where is your pic GGT? Have you posted one, I may have missed it in amongst all the minx pics.![]()
Such is Life...
I refuse to fight getting older! Getting older is gonna happen, whether we like it or not, so I might as well accept it. I have lived every day of this life, I have enjoyed the vast majority of living it, and I will continue to live it! Gray hair is just a small part of it. That doesn't mean I like getting older, it just means I accept it! Besides that, I love my life now!
On the other hand...wrinkles suck!![]()
I don't have a problem with authority....I just don't like being told what to do!Remember, the toes you step on today may be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow!RIP Fluffy! 01-07-09 I'm so sorry Fluffster! People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life! My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely!The nice part about living in a small town: When you don't know what you're doing, someone else always does!

I can't my facial hear only seem to grow at certain spots. But to make up for that I don't get bald and look 10 years younger than I am.
Have been into a lot of midlife-crisis guys lately? Well I don't seem to fall into that category you describe, I just sometimes just feel that I would like to go for what I have missed out during my teenage years.No one else has noticed that as men age and lose their hair, they tend to gravitate toward younger women with big hairdos? Or the greyer men get, the blonder their women are? Or that as men get that belly beer gut, they want women with big boobs?

Maybe those man you talk about also never had a prom queen or cheer leaders. Well we don't have that shit over here anyway.

I like how Termite's hair appears to be getting to tired to make the trip to the top of his head. As his hair volume up top decreases, the face beard thingy grows.
Yeah can't deny it.
I was living in the wild west at the time - Kalgoorlie - and was simply blending in.#2 Looks a bit like a younger Billy Connolly
Oh I don't spend anywhere near enough time grooming my beard for such a comparison, the shirt I bought while on holidays on the Gold Coast in Queensland.#3 Liking the beard from The Book of Bitter. Oh and the T-shirt.![]()
Yeah I blame gravity - all my hair has migrated south.
Such is Life...
Nice goatee Termite!
I hardly groom mine. I do have to blow dry it straight, but thats the extent of it.
I goin' for a full beard for winter. See how bushy it gets before Stephen complains about it.
