cannot say I've received a lot of abuse but the worst I've had is "Your ears look alot  bigger" from one guy.

I got called a Chia Pet recently...but in a good way. The comment came from a vendor at work who first met me when I had no hair. Not too long after meeting him, I fell off the wagon and started to let my hair grown back out. When I saw him most recently I had reshaved my head. He commented that he liked it better that way because that is how I looked when we were first introduced. He said, I looked like a Chia Pet when I started to let it grow back out and that I should keep it this way.
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

;D ;D ;D  Well, usually the customer is always right, but in this case--vendor rules.

It never looks right when you see somebody with hair after only having seen them bald.  I've been doing this long enough now that most of the people in my day-to-day life have never seen my hair and I think they'd probably laugh if I showed them my "hairy" photos.

I recently moved to Saudi Arabia, I'll be out here awhile.  I have to wear a suit in a place that reaches temperatures of 130 Fahrenheit in the summer.  I might need some fresh balls.

Honestly guys, I think being called names or being made fun of for trying to cover up the bald head (ie, rug, transplants) is MUCH worse :*))

Let's see-- I have been called Buzz Lightyear, the Mudville 9 (in reference to "KC") and Aquaman (in reference to my love of diving).  I have also been called Space Monkey; a reference from the Fight Club (and my darkest nickname).  I've even been called Malibu Ken.  My being sly has never really defined who I am but rather enhanced the image.  My roomate freshman year in college referred to me as "RJ" which stood for Rowing Jock because I would wake up at O Dark Thirty for Crew Practice.

Fortunately, I have never been called names since I went sly. Now that I have been sly for awhile, I don't think that it would bother me that much.
