Lush, Thick, Dark, Wavy

[CraftyGuy]

Nope. I want the pill that'll make me sly without shaving.

Amen to that, bro!

(though, I'd miss the daily ritual too much however .... very relaxing)

[lifeinthesouth]

I am done with hair. It is way over rated, but I am in on the pill to make it slick for ever. Hair loss takes way to much time. I'd rather have gotten over with 10 yrs ago as to dragging it out as long as it has.

Besides, with the topic "Lush, Thick, Dark, Wavy" I thought you was talking about a new candy bar. 

[Layokk]

I would slay mountains for such a pill.  I'm wondering if the older sly guys are more likely to just keep it the sly look?

[Gambrinus]

and what would you consider old? 

[buddha]

If I still had a natural head of lush, thick, straight, light brown hair it would be halfway down my back and tied in either a ponytail or a braid with a little Hammer of Thor tied in there somewhere toward the front.
That being said, since I don't happen to possess said head of hair, and since the attempt to cultivate a ponytail would end up in my case looking STOOPID, I shall remain sly.
No rugs, no plugs, no drugs. Call me Mr. Natural.

You can keep the pill, knowing that my bad scalp condition would return if I stopped shaving. Besides, I look to damn good sly.

But what if it was a magic pill that would cure your scalp condition and would cause your condition to return if you tried to shave while on the pill?


I wouldn't take the pill, mainly because I shave my head and still have a full head of hair anyway.  But even if the pill could give me what I'd consider the ultimate head of hair (I have a couple of annoying cowlicks) I still wouldn't bother.  Now, if it grew hair on my face it would be a different story!

[schro]

I now prefer sly.

What was that saying in the 60s? Don't trust anyone over 30?  Hah, if that's the case then I would be old too. 

While I think 30s, 40s and 50s are a grey area, it's pretty clear that someone in their 20s is "young" and someone in their 60s is "older."  I would be willing to bet money to dollars that a 22 year old guy would kill for such a pill.  A 61 year old who has been shaving for 15 years probably wouldn't care about "looking older."

Oh I dunno.....there are some "older" guys out there who are pretty vain about their hair. An old friend of mine started using that spray on hair crap to cover a bald spot and he's only 4 years younger than I am.

And while we're at it let's call it like we see it. 60s IS OLD, in fact you're probably thinking more about the angel of death than about the model in the angel costume on the cover of the latest Victoria's Secret catalog. In fact the latter half of the 50s is a time of great despair. Either that or magnificent denial.

I hope that's not true.  While I wouldn't take a pill to grow my hair back, I would take a pill that would stop me from aging (while still allowing me to live, of course.      )  That being said, I don't feel my age now and I hope that continues to be the case for a very long time.  I don't expect to feel like a 20-year-old when I'm 60, but hopefully I won't feel like a 60-year-old either.

[HoodooMan]

buddha, is the late 50's *really* a time of great dispair? why, might i ask? my father is in his late 50's and that makes me sad to think that-  that is the general thoughts of people in that age range.

Unless as a matter of family history, and hence genetics, you don't have many relations 70 and above, yes, for you, it's indeed old.  On the other hand, if most of your family history on both sides tends to the 80's even 90's, 60--considering the availability of reasonable medical care--can be about the middle of your most productive years.  Consider Churchill and others who's best work was in your "Angel of Death" description.  Now a pill to stop aging?  The Picture of Dorian Gray would not even let me consider that.  Now, who was that Mel Brooks character??  That's more my style.  But maybe my attitude is exactly guided by that because my family history is such that most all live into their 90's.  There was even one great aunt who went to 104, and was rather able right up to the end.   
There are people who act old prematurely, those who look old prematurely--mainly, IMO, bc of poor health habits, i.e.smoking.  I'm not ready to act my age  , and I try to care for myself so that I don't look any more decrepit than I must, hence I'm a SBG.

I had the lush, thick, dark, wavy hair when I first sheared it all off.  I guess I was the opposite, I wanted to bald long before I made it a reality back in '97, now I love being bald and don't want the hair.

[MikeInPdx]

I would take it.....just to try out some more daring styles that I never could pull off after the age of 22.....by the time I learned the names for recon mohawk, horseshoe flat and the like, they weren't options....not enough left on top. 

However, since that magic doesn't exist, I'm happy with who I am.
