HI... new to the forum...
« on: May 25, 2007, 10:00:05 PM »
I have been a serial lurker for a few weeks, and decided to finally sign up on the forum.

I started going bald in college, did the combover thing back in the 80's, kept a short buzz for about the last ten years, and took the plunge about a year ago.

I guess the buzzcut softened the shock, because going "sly" wasn't really that big a change.  I got very few reactions when I did it.

The one big change I have noticed is that the "bald jokes" (really put-downs and snide comments, if you ask me...) have almost completely stopped.

This place looks like it could be fun...

Zzaapp, lurk no more, my friend.  This place can be fun, with a lot of good people... just be warned, it can become as much of a habit as shaving your head.  Welcome, and contribute often!

Welcome Zzaapp, forget lurking and jump right in. Sorry you had to put up with "bald jokes". Have been lucky so far and not been subjected to them.

Welcome, Glad you're here and joined all of the rest of us SBG's.

The jokes have stopped because of the confidence your Slyness shows to everyone.  The bad combovers probably deserved some jokes.

I'm looking forward to hearing more from you. WELCOME!!!

Hi Zzaapp....you finally found your way home! Welcome to being Sly. Funny...my Dad ditched his combover too with a buzzcut and the jokes stopped for him too. Combovers just make you a target.

Keep it sly.
