With family and friends like this, I am gonna be pretty thick skinned real soon. Did the deed 3 days ago; so far I have earned Old King Cole, Humpty Dumpty, Lex Luther, and my personal fav ... the walking pen_s!
People generally don't like change that they are not in control of, so I'm not overly surprised; more amused. If others are getting a similar reaction, just know it is because they liked you the way you were and aren't yet used to the new improved you. Courage little ones.
Anyone else collecting new titles?
Best,
Chuck

Welcome mate,
Sorry to hear people are having a dig!
My family gave me a fair bit at first, but of they didn't I would be more concerned TBH.
Chin up!
-
Welcome Chuck!
I get Kojak from time to time but it's typically in jest.
-
Welcome, Chuck! Don't let the haters deter you from what you want.

G'Day Chuck mate O0
Welcome to Sly Bald Guys. Water off a ducks back Chuck, they soon get use to the new you.
I really didn't have any problems with all the funny names, you know them all, Chrome Dome, Nude Nut, Kojak etc etc lol since I am 6'-3" and back then was close to 290lbs and mainly muscle (where has that gone now lol) they wouldn't say anything.
-
G'day Chuck, Welcome to the family, feel free to throw up an introduction so we can get to meet the real you, sounds like you'll fit in nicely around here O0
Yep, I copped them all in the beginning too! I still get the occasional one now, but I've always taken it in my stride, and tend to give as good as I get, and congratulate people on the new and unusual remarks.
-
I almost feel a bit disappointed that no one cared enough to give me an alternate moniker.
Regardless, don't pay them any mind. Sly is an extraordinary way of living which they clearly cannot fathom.
-
I am always amused when I hear the comment "walking pen_s" . Take it as a compliment. :)
-
I've gotten Lex Luther, Walter White and Dr Evil. >:D And since the back of my head looks like a brain, a girl at work keeps singing the themesong to Pinky and the Brain every time she walks past my desk. :P

They are awesome!
There are worst names to be called lol
-
I get the names as well. Most of them are pretty unimpressive and unoriginal. For my part, I usually jump in and toss out a few at myself, that are actually funny. Most people won't bother to try to insult the guy who doesn't really care, and can hit himself with better stuff than they can. O:O
-
I don't know about the "Walking Penis" but they sure are being dicks!
Good for you, ignore 'em!
-
I never got any of that when I first shaved.
Maybe I scared them all off......
-
I've been called Dr. Evil and Uncle Fester.
-
Most of my friends are bald , so I never got any of that stuff - - -I just get my head rubbed by many people - - -It is lucky when two bald guys rub each others head (our state troopers came up with this years ago) - - - - - -and when the ladies rub they think it brings luck also.
-
how about "rain guage haircut" ? My friends always say in summer "let us know when it starts to sprinkle since you have the rain gauge haircut". Well ... I've never been wrong with the rain forecast ... LOL ;)
-
I never got called any names. One guy I know thought maybe I had cancer which I didn't have then or now. He just could not understand why I shaved my dome. I like it this way and that is what counts.

Probably not quite the response you were after, but your penis comment made me think about a well known comedien over here Dara O Brien. He hosts a show on the BBC called Mock the Week and the panels of comics repeatedly likened him to the link below - they referred to as penis sausage. All in jest though as I suspect is most of your comments:

No problem. I send them to the pits where they're doused in vinegar and rolled in cayenne. Never a peep after that.

Cool Avitar Ming !
Back to the subject , I think I got some comments when I first started shaving my head but it has been so long ago I don't anymore. If by chance there were any I would ignore them !
-
Well said guys!!!

Thanks, guys. You are a lot of fun. Sadly, the name calling has slowed down a bit - I think they are getting used to the idea. I have managed to add "penis with ears" to my collection, but that is about it.
So you get to know me a bit:
I am supposed to be retired from the investment IT world, but I need to do more than play all the time. I volunteer in a hospital, I am in a Physical Therapist Assistant degree program (yeah, me and the kids in school), and for fun I like to play tennis and do metal work (welding, cutting, etc.).
It is my opinion that I need to do something totally new to me at least once a year. Kinda like reinventing myself. This forces me to be a humble, rank, newby quite often. I have every reason to be humble, but this serves as a good reminder for me and I get to do lots of new, interesting things. Being a sly, looks like a keeper to me. I'll get you a picture nextime I see some daylight.
Best,
Chuck

Welcome Chuck.
Great thing is that Sly is compatible with every interest / hobby you listed. It's definitely a keeper.

Sounds like a great idea to me. As FG said, Sly fits well with all that!

Joe, you look good bald. Even better when the guy next to you is also bald, lol.
Thanks for the photo op.
