My old
pal Mike
Miller Blazers Jersey , Steve, called today, sounding all down in the
dumps. "My hair's falling out," Steve said sadly. "So I called my doctor to see
if he could give me something to keep it in." "What did he recommend?" I asked.
To which Steve replied, "He said to just use a box." Poor Steve, like so many
other follicly-challenged men his age, he sees the final parting of his hair as
a sign that his life is all but over. "It's all downhill from here, man," Steve
moaned. "You know how it works. First, you lose your hair, then your teeth, then
your bladder control! I might as well go out right now and buy a box of Depends
because I'll need them by the weekend!" "Come
on Gerald
Henderson Blazers Jersey , Steve," I said. "You're being ridiculous."
(Mental note: Next time Steve comes to the house, keep him off the new couch.)
When Steve and I were younger, hair was the least of our worries. We came of age
in the late '70's, a time when men were men and women were scarce and hair was
something we all had plenty of. This was an era influenced by Keith Partridge
and Tony Orlando and Grand Funk Railroad and The Bee Gees, who, between them,
laid claim to approximately 17% of the world's known hair. Steve and I shared
3%, and the remaining 80% was doled out to everybody else, with most of it going
to the inhabitants of the isle of Samoa. While Steve's coiffure was inspired by
the "Elvis Live From Hawaii" poster he had hanging in his room, I sported the
official do of the day. My hair was parted perfectly down the middle with
microscopic precision, layered back in
wings Ed Davis

hair was a highly technical operation, requiring a steady hand, a keen eye, a
stout comb (I used one of those big honkers with a clenched fist on the handle),
and sixteen cans of hairspray. I averaged burning up one hair dryer every six
days and used so much hairspray that the ozone layer still sends me hate mail.
But boy, did I look cool, or at least I thought so at the time. I look back at
my 1978 graduation picture now and wonder, "What the hell was I thinking?" I
looked like Marlo Thomas after a bad peroxide rinse. I still have a full head of
hair, but I wear it short these days so I don't have to do much to it. Low
maintenance hair, my wife calls it. It's not that I've grown lazy. It's that,
once the affects of all that hairspray finally wore off, I realized that I only
have so much time on earth and spending 14 of it with a blow dryer in one hand
and a roll brush in the other seemed like an awful waste. But even though I'm
not losing my
hair Clyde
Drexler Blazers Jersey , I feel for Steve and other men who are. After
all, they are my brothers and I feel their pain. Actually, I'm sitting here with
my thumbs in my ears, wiggling my fingers, sticking out my tongue and singing,
"Na-a- na- na- na!" I'm sympathetic to your plight, my bald brothers, but in a
"better you than me" kind of way. Sorry. I did my best to make Steve feel better
(I felt bad after calling him, "Curly.") I explained that his hair abandoning
his head was nothing personal. That's just the way hair works. A man's hair is
like a Michigan retiree. It spends forty years working for you atop your head,
then, when it's old and tired, it pulls up stakes and heads
south Chris
Kaman Blazers Jersey , setting up little hair retirement communities all
along the way. They sprout up in a man's ears, in his nose, in his eyebrows, all
over his back. And I don't even want to talk about those hairy, little buggers
that settle in what would be considered the biological equivalent of Miami
Beach. There are just some things best left undescribed. My conversation with
Steve did make me wonder how I'll react when my hair finally decides to go. I
contacted my friend and well-known haircare expert, Dr. Beechwood A. Jing,
Professor Emiritis of the South Hampton Institute of Technology's Hammond-Eggar
Anthropological Department, to ask why men are so attached to their hair,
especially after it's no longer attached to them. "Hair to a man is like tail
feathers to a peacock," Dr. Jing wisely explained. "A man's hair helps define
him as an individual and plays a tremendous part in establishing his sexual
identity. Therefore, in a man's eyes, when his hair
goes Brandon
Roy Blazers Jersey , so goes his manhood. Like a plucked peacock, he may
experience a dramatic loss of self-worth and self-confidence, especially where
the opposite sex is concerned. Such feelings of inadequacy can lead to deep
depression, bouts of paranoia, periods of anti-social behavior, a lifetime
membership in the Hair Club For Men - all sorts of horrible things!" "Dr. Jing,
what can a man do to work through these feelings of inadequacy?" I asked. "They
should seek out a licensed psychotherapist to help guide them through recovery,"
Dr. Jing concluded. "Or they could just take all their money and buy themselves
a new Porsche. Nothing diverts attention from a cue ball head like an expensive,
German sports car." Great advice, Doc. I can't wait to tell Curly -- I mean,
