No. I don't get it at all. You could buy a lot of bike parts with all the money you could throw down that hole.

If we already shave our legs, why would we want to put hair back on?

Every time I see a bad comb over or a hairpiece that looks like a roadkill, I think to myself, a shiny top don't look that bad.
Just remember. They don't put marble tops on cheap furniture.

I have no need for hair restorer- and I don't think a syrup would work for me.



Syrup----Cockney rhyming slang for syrup of figs----Wig.

Luckly I don't need to worry about it, and I wouldn't if I did.

To prevent funny helmet vent tan lines!


Can't find the photo of Levi Leipheimer's tan lines.

My courtroom security camera is behind and above me. I look like I'm wearing a yarmulke. If I weren't so totally secure in my loveliness, I might be worried about it.

I have better things to do with my protein than grow hair! What I save on shampoo and conditioner I spend on tires and tubes.

Nope, haven't bothered. I'm the bald guy with a ponytail, have been for years, and will be for many more.

As a practical matter, all they do is move around what you've already got, and I'm not willing to thin out what's left.

Now if they could take the transplants from my ears and nostrils...
