Covid - The Light-hearted Thread

[RichTheRoadie]

I want a haircut.

I was trying to grow my beard into something longer and more hipster (purposely a few years late, given that I'm not actually cool). I couldn't face it anymore and had to trim it right back yesterday.

You’d be in luck in Australia. For some reason I have not been able to fathom, haircuts are deemed an essential service here.

One of ScoMo's advisors must be too vain to bear going a week without a trim or something - I can't even fathom how else that even came to light as being viable.

Shaun Micallef thinks Michaelia Cash might be the answer. Given a lot of the male polititians have no hair or nearly no hair, I think he may be on to something. She may also be the reason the half hour restriction was lifted. Mind you she could just get a new hairdo 3D printed...

If you don't know her...michaelia cash hair - Google Search

...and her voice makes her hair seam subtle.

So I was bored and fired up Gimp to do a 5 minutes hack job with that already overused meme :

My wife would tell you that if you think women spend a lot of money and time on their hair, you've never met a male CEO of a major corporation. Or a male member of Congress. The more fastidious the hair, the deeper (and darker) the insecurities.

A friend who worked in politics used to take great pleasure addressing perfectly coiffed male members of Congress with "Could I have a small word with you?" and watching them twitch at the word "small". Trent Lott for one.

I posted the question in one of these threads if people were going to grow out there hair or buzzcut it. I think all the guys that grow it out will have mullets in October for their Tiger King costumes.

I actually have a mohawk haircut since last sunday. Made for some funny check-in rounds in the videocalls these last 2 days.

For you parents teaching kids at home, may I recommend the "True Facts" series for biology.



Most of them are a tad more informative.

Todd,
Thanks for making me laugh out loud. Not many chances to do that lately.

My wife spotted this near our house, someone wanting to say thank you to our National Health Service. My wife and I are both NHS workers and find it very humbling that we are getting such widespread appreciation.
