Ladies Love Cool Lex Luthor

[jawakiller]

Directed straight out at Mislabeled. The best way to negate the "oh look, gay" is to stop going to GSA meetings. On the campus I'm at, we have a local group and the first thing most people (myself included) think is "oh, they all gay." Why? Because most people don't give two shits in regards to gay rights so when you show you care... Well people might think you have ulterior motives. Hence the problem. And being sensitive is not helping.

Of course, it doesn't help that Berea's gay population is through the roof. Actually, disregard everything I just said. It probably won't apply to you.

Heh, that Lex Luthor advice is almost aimed towards me. My father is almost bald - think Homer Simpson, but without the lame combover and short hair on the back. What is sad is that no matter how I eat or wash my hair, I keep losing hair. I was planning on just shaving it bald when I hit the balding age, which was about 20-25 for my dad.

...Mainly because Vin Diesel looks damn awesome. And I'm growing a beard to make up for lack of hair.

Heh. Did anyone else notice that sayin FAQ out loud sounds like 'Fuck You'? (or feck you, or fake you, or it does not matter)

No because it's either "eff-ay-cue" if you say the letters, or "fack" if you pronounce it as a word.

You really have to work it to make it sound like "fuck you"...

Right. Was a bit racist there. That's how I'd say it if I were Hungarian (which I am) and used the english pronounciation of Q while saying it. Which I did. My bad.

I think most of the languages that derive from old Slavic languages read FAQ as "fuck you". I do, for instance, because it rolls off the tongue easier.

You do know hungarian is not a Slavic language right?

Dear Young Lex Luthor,

A bald head is simply a solar panel for a sex machine.

Sincerely,
Slightly older Lex Luthor

Actually, it has roots in it. Hungarian broke off at the very start. All Eastern European languages share the same roots, until some point.

Bald is beautiful, high school sucks, and the grass is always greener.

All true. I've read this exact advice before elsewhere, I still find this article pretty entertaining.

I thought that the only language that even resembles Hungarian is Finnish, and that it shares little with the languages of the surrounding countries?

Though I suppose that it has to share something with the surrounding countries.

Also, I thought that the Hungarians weren't Slavs either, though Hungary borders some Slavic nations.

I ask because I'm ethnically Hungarian and that's just what I've always been told about it.

Or, to appeal to you Geek interests, Tywin Lannister (Because screw the TV show, he's bald as far as I care).

He's not bald in the books, is he?
I always pictured him as having the blonde hair of the rest of the lannisters.

I can kinda relate to Mr. Mislabeled, in the fact that I actively refused to be 'part of the group' for most of grade school and all of high school & college. Actually it wasn't entirely by choice. I tried making friends with the fellow geeks in high school, but for some reason I was always just left behind and regarded as an outsider. I had one, maybe two people I could regard as actual friends in high school, a girl and her boyfriend. That pretty much fell apart when one day for some reason, the boyfriend lashed out at me and almost fought me because he thought I was trying to steal his girlfriend. The rest of the geek group i thought I had befriended pretty much shunned me when I publicly went to the dean because I was being bullied and none of the teachers or TA's gave a shit. Needless to say the rest of the girls in school totally ignored me and wanted nothing to do with me, but I honestly didn't give a shit.

Actually, this has nothing to do with being mislabeled. I just refused to be labeled, so I never fit in in high school. College (well, culinary school actually) was totally different in that no one cared about groups. I was accepted because we were pretty much all either delinquents or social misfits. Still didn't get any interest from the opposite gender. Still don't. Still don't really give a shit.

To me, if being different means being feared and avoided, so be it.

He started going bald, so he shaved his entire head, because 'Tywin Lannister does not take half measures'.
He does have some wicked sidewhiskers, though. So technically you're right, I suppose.

That was an interesting read for a bald person such as myself. I went bald at 16 and have worn a bandanna to cover it up at school/college. I'm now 19 and after much medical treatment, my hair is growing back, though the process is slow and patchy and I'm wondering whether to just once again, shave my head and go bandanna-less for the first time in public.
