I dreamed of BF last night. Someone started a thread called, "Show US Your Unibrows!" and lots of people had them, but had to show older photos of themselves since we were all much better groomed as 50+'ers.

Must have been because Ugly Betty was on last night?

A couple of comments from the peanut gallery...

People like America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) and Keith Moon technically aren't uni-brows, but they have that unibrow aura.

Keith Moon once said he wanted to be reincarnated as a girls' bicycle saddle...so there's your damn on-topic element!

Andy Etchebarren was my favorite legitimate unibrow as a kid, Ken Wahl as an adult...

I don't mind unibrows. I like* Ken Wahls' brow... Andy Etchebarren's is a little too neanderthal for some reason.

In fact, I generally like thick brows. They're refreshing and "normal" looking to me. I think they accentuate the eyes. Look at Brooke Shields and JFK, Jr.

But then, I like chest hair on men, too, so what do I know...

We don't have to be on-topic in here*, do we?

Andy Rooney doesn't have uni-brows but the ones he has drive me crazy. I can never remember what he says on 60 Minutes as I'm always concentrating on those d*mn eyebrows. If I ever met him they would need to restrain me as I would be tempted to trim them for him

LOL! He should* trim them, but I'm kinda glad he doesn't. He reminds me of an old leprechaun grandfather, expounding on topics at the dinner table inside a giant oak tree.

Hair and eyebrows: Me in my 20's. Hair is wilder than usual because it was braided, but it was pretty much like this, only curly and not frizzy... I like* my eyebrows.

So I had a dream last night... unfortunately I've forgotten most of it already, but one part I remember is that I was riding down a country road, and Jet Travis honked at me and waved. He was driving a blue car.

Hi Jet!

This is a bike thread, right??? Wonder how much drag that hair would cause? Judging from the picture, probably wouldn't fit under a helmet.

But then again, this is a 50+ forum, so the hair would probably fit now.

Just mown the lawn for the first time this year. Wish I hadn't bothered now.

Now got to service the mower but found a few lost bike bits from last Autumn.

OK, it's been pretty slow on the forum lately. We've been talking theremins, and auto crashes, and email and pretty much anything we can.

Here's a thread which has been going on for ages, and I'm amazed every time it resurfaces. It's a twilight zone thread, presented for your enjoyment:
