I'm sitting at the hotel bar, enjoying a pint or two and watching baseball highlights. I'm soon joined by a 50 or so year old lawyer from L.A. We begin talking about why we're in town at this hotel and all, and soon enough, Sportscenter shows the Red Sox young 23 year old pitcher in a post game interview. Now I had just come back from a ball game myself, so I had my baseball cap on. Anyway, this young pitcher who was being interviewed was completely sly. The lawyer immediately goes on a rant about how horrible he looks and how ridiculous it is that he is 23 years old and balding. The first thing I said was, "Well he might have a full head of hair, its impossible to tell on tv since he shaves his head completely clean". He responds with, "No way man, he's obviously balding badly, why else would he do it? As a 23 year old, he looks horrendous!" At that point, I wanted to just knock the guy out for criticizing someone's choice of hairstyle, as well as for making fun of someone with possibly less hair. But I refrained from smacking the guy and simply removed my cap and watched as the man turn red. He immediately tried to change the subject. I just thought it was funny. Hopefully he learned a lesson...
Personally I kind of took of offense, being a 24 year old with a shaved head, partly due to the fact that I'm losing my hair, and partly due to the fact that it better suits my extremely active lifestyle.

A man can be educated, but that doesn't mean he's not ignorant.

My response after he turned beet red would be "YOU, dear sir......Are a douche bag."
-
very mature way to handle it. the look on his face must have been priceless.
-
Funny how some people react to a shaved head...
some REALLY hate it...George Carlin is one that comes to mind..
go figure!
-
Would loved to have been there to see the look on his face. Perhaps he learned a valuable lesson and will be less judgemental in the future.
-
I would like to have been there just to bust his ignorant balls.

Don't listen to TomGallagher. It's best that you showed some restraint and maintained your cool. You never mentioned the condition of the 50 + old lawyer's hair. Was his hair all that great? Man, I would have liked to seen his face when you removed your hat. Totally cool story.
Rodger, Over and Out! O0

Ah yes. Well, the lawyer did have a full head of hair. It must just contribute to his arrogance, though

what an ass.

Howdy BlackJames,
Seems the Bo Sox headshaving contingency is growing.
Soon they'll outnumber the Chi Sox headshavers.
Just how many headshavers are there in BeanTown?
Who's the 23 year old bald pitcher?
I know their first basemen is a headshaver....Kevin Youkilis.

Sending congrats out to you conerning some Bo Sox milestones
last week.
Jon Lester became the 18th pitcher in Red Sox history -- and just the fifth left-hander to pitch a no hitter.

Manny Ramirez joined the 500-home run club in style, becoming the 24th member of the elite fraternity by belting a majestic solo shot deep to right-center field in Camden Yards last week.

Who's the 23 year old bald pitcher?
Justin Masterson...he's a new pitcher we've called up to deal with recent injuries. He looks like he could be something special.
I will say that Dustin Pedroia is on his way to going Sly...he should definitely consider it.

Dudes... he's a lawyer... enough said. ;)

The dude looks like a baby. He needs some facial scruff to make him more
intimidating.
I'm not talking something as extreme as Johnny Damon!

The Bo Sox were the hairiest team in the majors!
BTW, Mrs. Johnny Damon is hot! :@`

I've been told I resemble the Red Sox headshaver, first baseman Kevin Youkilis. I don't see it, but that's what most people tell me. Could be the shaved head thing. You know most people think that all headshavers look alike. I was thinking maybe it's time to rid myself of my Mr Clean Face once and for all and attempt a Youkilis goat.

So what do you think. Should I give it a try?
Hello to BlackJamesRackham. If it wasn't for this thread I'd never thought of joining this forum. But I see he needs back-up here. Another Red Sox fan to lend him support. I hope that bar where he met that fool lawyer wasn't in Alston, Ma.
Cheers, Boston John

Welcome dude.
-
Welcome John.
I'm always the first to say go with the "Mr. Clean" bald look...but man if you can grow a perfect huge goat like Youkillis I say go for it...
that thing is most excellent with his shaved head...doesn't even look the same without it!
From your avatar, you fit the Mr Clean though, so either way would work for ya bro! O0
-
I'd say you put him in his place very nicely. Well done. O0

My response after he turned beet red would be "YOU, dear sir......Are a douche bag."
Son, that is exactly the right word for him. If he was younger he'd probably be seen on http://hotchickswithdouchebags.com/
Notice how you don't see many, if any Sly guys on this site?
-
i notice some of you guys don't like lawyers. while this one inpaticular was a schmuck, not all of them are. we have a few guys here that are lawyers that are great guys. please don't get caught up in generalizations. that is one thing that makes this site stand apart from others. our welcoming atmosphere and acceptance of everyone. just don't want to offend anyone here. thanks guys.

Dudes... he's a lawyer... enough said. ;)

Careful, I'm sure when you come to me or one of my LAW BUDDIES, you never ask for justice, you just want off. The fact that I'm sly, doesn't mean that I can let that kind of slur on the profession go unchallenged. Any one, lawyer or layman, can be shy about sly. But now I, as lawyer, have a question, Why were you drinking w/ a 50 year old balding man?
SAINTC-
I said this tongue in cheek..... thus the smiley. Didn't mean to offend. Everyone knows that there are a ton of jokes about lawyers and that's all this was... a little fun.
And for the record..... I've never been in trouble with the law so I won't be coming to you or one of your law buddies. And I was not the one drinking with a 50 year old man..... look back to the original poster to get an answer for that one.

RIF (Reading is fundamental), my friend. I said I was at a hotel bar, where all sorts of random people are free to join you for a drink. Second, the man was not balding, I never said that. So before we get all defensive, let's read the entire thread...

Hi, what is wrong with drink with a 50 year old man. I am nearly 60 and he or anyone else would have a good laugh drinking with me. Just because we are a bit old dosent mean we are lepers, u know the saying u do not stop playing when you are old, u get old by not playing.

You dont often hear both..
"I'm sitting at the hotel bar, enjoying a pint or two and watching baseball highlights"
and
"my extremely active lifestyle"
In the same post..
