Should I Grow My Hair And Complete My "Hippiness"?
have been thinking about it for a while now. i am a peace-loving-hippie at heart, Internet guru by day but have a job where i COULD grow my hair out.

i'm enjoying the moment.

so, whadda y'all think? is it time Matcom grew a ponytail?

*note: Matcom had '80's' hair when he was in high school (perm and all) - HEY! I was in a band ok?? NOT looking for 'exactly' the same :P

2. Are you lazy?
If so, having all that hair to deal with every day might get old after a while. That's the reason I shaved my goatee - I got tired of the maintenance.

Maintenance-free hair rules! :D

6. Well, matcom,
my husband is bald on top and has longer hair than me on the side-has this and a full beard, not cut since we were married 15 years ago.

34. my beard...
I actually grew my beard because I hated shaving the tip of my chin. Now, I just let it grow how it wants, except for my neck and cheeks. Shaving sucks!

7. No mullet.
When you get a mullet, you're automatically registered on FR.

Besides, you really want him to look like this guy?

36. No, ma'am, you are the one missing out.

You have already fallen down, into the whirling torrent of popular opinion, but you don't realize it, poor fool. ;-)

Actually, I have a nice new haircut... kind of a shaggy 'do with bangs...I like it a lot. B-)

the nailing of hotel room furniture to the ceiling, nailing the good looking groupies that would dress up as hotel maids, when GOPIsEvil's hair caught fire in a nasty candyapple incident

21. what about the time we raced Ferrari's down the ally covered in Jell-O??

39. dude, that wasn't no ally
that was a mountain of heroin!

Ahh, I remember those days, when we'd wake up getting liver transplants from Motorhead because they were the only healthy livers (compared to ours) available for private jets...

and don't forget the times when we'd show up at the clinic and demand the buy 4 get one 1 free treatments!

Don't do it. Michael Bolton has long hair. As does Kenny G. And Billy Ray Cyrus, Fabio...must I go on? :(

And say groovy a lot.

32. absolutely.

Had mine long for 22 years now, wouldn't have it any other way. Plus, it really annoys the wingnuts, which is a great side-bonus :evilgrin:

35. Absolutely!
I have real long hair, in a ponytail, and I find it a GREAT tactical advantage. People start out thinking you are one particular way, one type of person. Then, you open your mouth and get to watch the cognitive dissonance.

You cannot beat fun like that! ;-)
