TYY

[yuiyoshida]

8. Yay!

[yuiyoshida]

5. I sinned. I rec'ed my own poll... GONNA

[Marr]

7. lol, faux pas. /nt

[yuiyoshida]

10. like

Fox Paws?

[Marr]

14. Yeah-- but French.

[yuiyoshida]

15. ROFLAMO!!!

[Scootaloo]

26. At least it's not Norwegian

Yeah, I'll bet you thought you'd escaped that one, huh?

[yuiyoshida]

29. That was awesome

and silly at the same time.

[ronnie624]

36. Lol.

[hootinholler]

68. ROFLMAO!

[Marr]

9. Yes-- his hair is unruly.

Needs to be addressed before the primary season really gets under way. Fortunately, I think this challenge is surmountable, with a $10 bottle of that paste stuff from a hairstylist.

[yuiyoshida]

11. What about

[TeeYiYi]

12. He could try...

...a little Ronco remedy.



TYY

[ronnie624]

37. He needs to just buzz it off to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

It's quick, simple and maintenance-free. I learned long ago, that a bald head looks best, when there's no pretense at having hair.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. I think his campaign slogan should be

"Great Scott!"

[yuiyoshida]

16. rOFLMAO!!

[TeeYiYi]

18. !...

... You kinda' nailed it!

TYY

[Skittles]

17. he has an Einstein thing going

yes INDEED

[yuiyoshida]

19. Yup!

[hifiguy]

78. You beat me to it.

It worked fine for Albert!

[yuiyoshida]

81. And Howard Stern!

[RKP5637]

56. Yep! n/t

[AsahinaKimi]

20. I like it...

[HereSince1628]

21. consider the people in Nepal, consider Bernie's hair...

Now, where is Bernies fly-away comb-over in the scheme of what's important?

[yuiyoshida]

23. you know that is close to a very

Zen kind of question! Like: What is the sound of one hair flapping?

[Autumn]

99. What a fun thread

Thank you

[yuiyoshida]

101. Thanks, though

I have to be careful in the future, as I got alerted on for this posting, someone though of it as horrible.. all I can say is, DU sometimes is badly in need of humor.

[daleanime]

112. It's when times are bad....

that we need our sense of humor the most.



Which is another way of saying-well done.

[yuiyoshida]

114. domo arigatou gozaimasu

thank you very much!

[pnwmom]

22. Hey, he's got hair. Any hair at his age is an accomplishment. And he doesn't dye it.

Good for him.

[yuiyoshida]

24. This is true!

And impressive around the world, I am sure!

[yuiyoshida]

25. Come on you guys!!!

vote! vote! vote! this is fun... (I think so)

[guillaumeb]

27. would you rather have the original bad hair candidate?

Like Donald Trump?

At least Bernie Sanders has a functioning brain under his hair.

As to the poll, I voted.

[yuiyoshida]

28. join me!!

[yuiyoshida]

31. awww thank you..

[Quackers]

32. YW

I'm 32, married with two daughters and a son on the way. I know cute. Lol

[yuiyoshida]

34. Sugoii!

Wonderful!

[hootinholler]

38. No WAY!!!

Yui is beautiful on the outside and Drop Dead Gorgeous on the inside!

What's this cute stuff, that's for kittehs!



Ok, maybe cute is barely good enough

[Quackers]

41. My world is filled with toddlers and babies.

Cute is what I know.

[hootinholler]

42. Been there, done that

Enjoy!

[yuiyoshida]

49. wow...

[hootinholler]

61. If you ever get to DC

I'd love to share some beverages

[yuiyoshida]

62. Best be Sake!

or plum wine cooler!

[hootinholler]

71. Sake takes me back to Yokusuka as a young sailor

I remember most of that night

[yuiyoshida]

73. The milky kind of Sake is best...

the unfiltered. Its so yummy, compared to the harshness of filtered Sake. Both will put you on the floor...and so will a Plume wine cooler. I have seen those sold in cans, like as it it was a sprite..or 7-up, but of course, not for kids!

[hootinholler]

74. I'll have to see if I can find some

Then you can try The MacClellan

[yuiyoshida]

76. looks great but..have you ever had a dram?

drambuie that is...


When I visited Scotland a few years back, I got to try one..." would you care for a wee dram?" omg.. the taste..its nice.. and yeah, too many of those, and you are on the floor.

[rhett o rick]

75. You were alerted on for being sexist. Jury didn't agree 0 - 7. I hope the

alerter gets the message.

[hootinholler]

80. OMG Really?

I guess for some one cannot give a compliment without it being sexist.

[rhett o rick]

92. If someone has the jury results, please post. Thanks. nm

[Sunlei]

33. I wish Sen. Sanders and all men with hair like him, went for the 'Captain Picard' look

and I want Sen. Sanders to sing this sexy baldness song, change to sexy badass song

[yuiyoshida]

35. bravo!

[Warren DeMontague]

39. See.... and I think he should grow it out MORE- like Jerry Garcia's.

That's politics. Can't please everyone.

[yuiyoshida]

50. A beard would make Bernie look

Like Old St. Nick, but in a fun way!

[madokie]

40. I like him just the way he is

bad hair or warts or whatever and all. Matters not to me what he looks like on the outside what matters to me is what he looks like coming from the heart. I truly like the man and will grow to love him as I have the President today.

[CTyankee]

44. It is what it is. I don't really care...

I call it "old hair" because that is what I have. My gray hair is unruly, altho kinda nice around my face, plus saving me the fortune I used to spend on coloring it "to look younger" during my working days.

Now that I am old, I think gray hair looks distinguished...

[madokie]

45. I like my gray hair just fine

so far no bald spots although some places are getting mighty thin. Like you said it is what it is and if someones hair is a deciding factor then that makes me one Shallow person. I chose to not be that kind of person.
27th anniversary of my 39th btw

[freshwest]

47. +1 'My gray hair is unruly.' And I've gotten better things to do than to color it.

I've always been fond of 'reach for the sky' hair.

[yuiyoshida]

48. His is kind of white...

Like Old St. Nick, I like it!

[tularetom]

52. I just got my summer 'do, now my wife thinks I look like Mike Ermantrout

But my granddaughters no longer think I look like a gray haired old fart (at least thats what they say to my face).

[dembotoz]

43. same problem I have. hair always looks like shit

Any wind...forget it

[Agschmid]

46. You survived 2-5.

Apparently the alerter didn't notice your Bernie sig line.

[yuiyoshida]

51. People are so alert happy these days

I mean, this was a kind of fun thing based off another DUer's post about "bad hair", it was asking people really is it so bad, and...Can WE have a little fun with it. My second favorite would be about him dying his hair in psychedelic colors.. it might look awesome.. but we don't wish to treat him as a clown, and his hair is lovely.. I can't believe one person thought he looked worse than Donald Trump, because clearly his hair doesn't.

This is all in fun, but I guess someone's fun, is another person's insult.. Its why the world is like it is today, the sense of humor is always DARK... and people like cynical jokes.. while others obviously get insulted by them.

DU gets so damn serious sometimes.. people need a break, too..to lighten up and have a little fun. Politicians are not GODS... but some treat them as such, I would imagine most of them at one time or another, make fun of themselves.. just to drop it down a notch.

[Agschmid]

54. This...

[daredtowork]

65. The two hides are thing that makes me go "hmm..." nt

[yuiyoshida]

83. Do you have the alert you can post?

I wouldn't mind seeing the comments.

[Agschmid]

87. Here.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is inappropriate. If someone started a thread like this on Hillary, DU would explode. Let's stick to policies folks.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Explanation: IMHO, this doesn't fit GD but not hide worthy.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree with the alert.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[yuiyoshida]

88. Thank you...

OMG! What if DU exploded!! we would all have to runaway! Humor is becoming difficult on DU, so many get offended.. The whole idea was to satirize this supermarket tabloid concern about his hair, and most of us love it! Others think its too unruly, while most are smart enough to know, it really does not matter, its his policies, that are important. We all really need to lighten up on DU, as its become way too, too serious of late!

[daredtowork]

91. No, I was wondering about them. nt

[yuiyoshida]

86. Agschmid can you post

The Jury results, would love to see the comments.

[MADem]

53. He should get a better cut that won't "fly away" and comb it before public appearances.

His hair will become a distraction otherwise.

Media will focus on it, and not his message. The latest pictures of his "crazy hair" will take center stage.

I assume he's hired handlers, he needs to listen to them when they suggest these things.

[yuiyoshida]

59. I'm not so sure it couldn't end up as

like a trade mark for him. Look at Enstein! The guy had crazy hair and went before forums of people and spoke brilliantly about Science...and yeah, people probably said, "That dude has crazy hair but he makes sense!!!" "The guy is a genius, and yet... can't find a comb?"

Wasn't Benjamin Franklin one of those crazy types, and people knew he was, but on the other hand, created the Postal Service as well as other kinds of important things for this country.

People Idolize Pop and Rock stars and no one complains about the fact they are not wearing a suit or their hair is not in place. HOWARD STERN, IS another example of crazy hair ...



And yet, he is famous, does a talk show, and has a huge following. Does anyone say, "Howard, you are in public now, cut your damn hair!!"

I think Bernie could more than likely get away with his hair, without having to take a trip to supercuts. The guy looks natural, as he should... Mr. Natural in fact!

[MADem]

69. I don't think it's a good trademark in a candidate for the job he seeks.

Einstein was the "absent minded scientist-genius." He wore socks with sandals, too.

We don't want the guy with his finger on the button to give off the impression that he's too "off in the clouds" that he doesn't have the presence of mind to comb his own hair.

It's just not a good look.

Howard Stern is never going to be President. He has a radio show where he makes fun of naked women. I don't think he'd get many votes, even if he went to supercuts and got a crew cut.

[yuiyoshida]

72. I seriously can't imagine

Last edited Sun May 3, 2015, 06:28 PM - Edit history (1)

Bernie with a John F. Kennedy like Buzz cut... I just can't!

[daredtowork]

55. IMHO when you have a striking "weakness" you should make it a "thing"

Bernie's hair should be the new hip. It should be the REASON to vote for him for President. It should be the sign he is not the slick sociopath that somehow always manages to become a CEO. He is not that popular football player that bullies everybody in school.

I thought the same thing about Mark Dalton - "Eeyore for President!" would make a great slogan! I would vote for that! What have I ever gotten out of the slick Reagans and Bushes and Romneys of the world? What does helmet hair get me? A lying liar for President who is likely to try to distract everyone with "welfare queens" to wiggle out of responsibility for problems.

You know what? The guy who doesn't care about his looks actually cares about other people. And the time he spends not schmoozing is spent studying how to solve problems.

So Bernie should keep his distinctive wild hair and make it his TRADEMARK! Make it his BRAND! Make it the WAY OF THE SOCIAL-LEANING DEMOCRAT! His hair shows he gives zero fraks about what the fashion police of Rodeo Drive think, and he's ready to start practicing some serious legislative-fu.

[yuiyoshida]

60. Daredtowork

You read my mind, look at the post above you!!

[daredtowork]

63. LOL

Someone alerted you? Don't we have better things to do.

There was some sturm and drang about Bernie's hair on NPR this morning. I've been thinking of posting a Bernie Hair Manifesto myself.

[yuiyoshida]

67. You know its silly to get mad over such a thing...

If you love Bernie, you love his hair... and you know, people will poke fun at his hair, and that's fine, but really, read though this thread, there are no haters here...(yet) and we're all having fun with it, despite the fact one person, was insulted enough to want to push the Alert button! I would love to see that jury decision.. but it probably won't be posted here. I am sure the jurors comments are worth a read, and many of them "got it" what this is all about.

[BlueJazz]

57. Bernie speaks to me.

[cascadiance]

58. He should say "Unlike other candidates you don't have to wait for me to be 'ready' to talk to you!"

And then we can note other bad hair moments for other candidates that like to be "ready" before they talk in public, when maybe they weren't so "ready"...

[daredtowork]

66. Didn't Bill Clinton famously stop traffic on a bridge to get his hair cut? nt

[daredtowork]

70. My memory is not wrong: there was a Clinton Hairgate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_haircut_controversy

[bigwillq]

64. I don't care at all about his hair, or Hillary's.

Sadly, some do.

Such a shame.

[yuiyoshida]

79. Which is why the poll...

I started this poll because of a posting mentioning Bernie's so called Bad hair. We tend to be so damn serious here at DU, that sometimes, its just time to lighten up. You are right, his hair and her hair really doesn't amount to anything really important.. and yet, with people focused on it like some kind of Supermarket tabloid attention, thought it might be fun to poke fun at all of that.

I mean seriously, I can visualize Bernie dying his hair in tie-dyed colors, and being really hip, and it wouldn't matter. As mentioned earlier, there have been important people with crazy hair.. Enstein comes to mind, and Howard Stern (though he is not super important, he has a huge fan base in this country, and people probably would rather listen to him, than say a Rush Limbaugh (and look at his conservative hair!) All of this is meant in fun, and in no way reflects any kind of seriousness, but yet some people in this country are trying to make it some kind of issue. Its clearly not.. but no one can say, you can't have fun with it..,. go with the flow, right?

[rhett o rick]

77. I had to pass as my selection wasn't there. Sen Sander's hair reflects his nature. Free and

independent.

[yuiyoshida]

84. That is a good one...

but hey, you don't think he looks like a teddy bear? Polar bear maybe.. this was supposed to just be a fun poll, poking fun at those complaining about his bad hair.

[CrispyQ]

82. I say, "Own it Bernie!"

[yuiyoshida]

85. That looks great..

especially with the guy, with the tats... says it all, doesn't it? Like that thanks!!

[cascadiance]

89. Though hopefully someone isn't suggesting that Bernie get tats...

Reflects a different priorities of time, and feeling the need to have to "appear" differently to attract a younger crowd, when like everyone said, he should just be himself and focus on the nation's priorities the way he's always done so.

That being said, I hope a lot of kids with tats are up there cheering en masse for him too! Shouldn't feel bad about them being different either.

[yuiyoshida]

90. Right on and I agree...

I thought about getting tats once, but found out if I ever visited Japan, I would not be welcome to an Onsesn, or Rotenburo... (Japanse bathhouses) and I really want to go and soak in a hot tub for hours!

Btw can you read the small print on that shirt? I wondered what it said.

[Art_from_Ark]

96. In Japan, tattoos are associated with criminal gangs

Thus, Japanese spas (onsen) will often have notices saying that people with tattoos will be asked to leave.

[yuiyoshida]

97. so True!! !

Art San!!! Ogenki desuka? Ohisashiburi!

[Art_from_Ark]

100. We're in the middle of Golden Week in Japan right now,

the period of multiple holidays in late April and early May when lots of people go to onsen and other tourist areas. I don't have any plans to go anywhere so I'm getting a little lethargic sitting around the house. I might go to a higaeri-onsen (day spa) if I get really bored, though.

[yuiyoshida]

103. oooooooooh!

that would be great...i would love to go to a higaeri-onsen. Its too bad California is in such bad shape with water.. JAPAN seems to have an abundance of fresh water, much of its stored underground.

[Art_from_Ark]

104. Water is one resource that Japan has ample supplies of

In fact, it's supposed to rain tomorrow (par for the course, as it always rains at least one day during Golden Week).
The rice farmers are now busy flooding their fields and getting ready to plant nae (rice seedlings). And the flooded rice fields bring out the frogs, who happily croak the night away.

[cascadiance]

106. One always needs to be careful about adopting cultural icons that aren't really yours...

... if you don't have any solid reasons of your own for having them tied to you somehow. I think especially if you want to be a political leader like Bernie is now.

A demonstration of this is when the recent Doctor Who was wearing a Turkish fez to "be cool".

A further note on this is that in Turkey many cultural icons such as fezes and head scarves that people associated with Turks and muslim culture were banned in many parts of the country as a part of leader Ataturk's efforts to westernize the country after it was the Ottoman Empire, and to help keep religious divisions of different religious sects there from being the source of violence, etc. Much like many schools in some cities ban "colors" being worn that might provoke gang violence.

[hootinholler]

93. WANT!

Where? Where are they?

[CrispyQ]

94. I love it.

98. Next: White fleece strands tied to car antenna?

[yuiyoshida]

108. do you remember those

little Styrofoam heads of Jack, (JACK IN THE BOX) That went on you car Antenna?


I even had these.

[L0oniX]

109. LOL yep.

[olddots]

105. he looks just like me

So I can be his stand in if he has a good hair day

[randome]

107. How about "Yuiyoshida's obsession with hair borders on the pathological." ?

Just kidding!

(Just kidding about the 'just kidding').

((Just kidding about that, too.))
