You didn't say "male", not initially.

And frankly, I don't think I'm especially typical of any career or group. Anywhere you classify me,
I'm pretty much bound to be an outlier. I like it that way. Rather than worrying about being a round
peg in a square hole, I do my best to avoid being pounded into any holes at all - prevents a lot of
broken hammers...

Nope, but I must have the "I'm a patsy, hit me up for a pass to go to the bathroom/nurses
office/back to the cafeteria - 40 times a day" type of look about me.

"ARGH!!!! All right, now we're all going to take a potty break together RIGHT NOW. DO NOT come up to
me and ask to go to the bathroom 5 minutes after we get back to class because you forgot to go while
we were all there. And the next one who tells me "it's a 'mergency", is going to get a note sent
home to your mother telling her you need to go to the doctor for a check up to find out why you have
to pee every ten minutes. Everybody got that? Are we all clear on this?"

Yes. Locally, I've heard that style of lip hair described as a "child molestor mustache". Like I
said, creepy. If I so much as saw you talking to young kids at a mall or a pool, I'd feel obliged to
give security a heads-up. Ditch the damned thing.

As for the hair, #4 buzz cut. Even a senile barber can't do much wrong with that. Except maybe
forgetting to put the guard on...

Well, no female teacher I've ever had has had a 'tache that prolific (couple of close calls, mind),
so I thought 'male' was a given.

Figured you weren't. But you see the stereotype I was aiming for? I don't know, maybe it was just me
who had teachers that looked like that (elbow patches, pens in the top pocket...)

my 1st grade teacher had this fig tree that just wouldn't grow.

If i recall me and 4 other kids may have had something to do with it.

the stache is gone, pending final shaving (when the bathroom is free). i must say, it does change
the look of my face. i think it has been, well, quite a few years since i have even seen my upper
lip. i keep getting these "ghost hairs" tickling my nose. must be like the feeling when a guy with
an amputated arm gets an itch on his hand.

Hmm, i seem to associate a buzz cut with teenagers (younger than 15), and so i don't think i would
like it. i'll have to check out a few styles to see what fits the person i want to be. perhaps just
a real short (longer than a buzz, shorter than a "regular") cut. something that needs no combing,
and thus strikes off in it's own direction, while looking good.

something a little like this... http://www.new-hair-styles.com/photos/mens/mlarge8.jpg

I assume after getting some of the roundness out of my face it would look a little like that guys
too. just add a bigger nose, ears, and a less pronounced cheek bone. but then, maybe i just have a
slightly round face.

learned something new today. shaving the upper lip is rather difficult. that and typing with one
hand while the other hold a piece of toilet paper to my upper lip to prevent the need for a blood
transfusion.

skin that has never had the blade of a razer touch it seems to be fairly prone to cuts.

Now, pending blood clotting, and a cleaning to remove dried blood, i'll see about an "after" pic to
go with the "before" pic previously posted.

A #4 buzz cut sounds about right - it's a fair bit longer than your standard buzz cut. Hair is
shaved according to numbers; #0 is 0mm, #1 is 3mm, #2 is 6mm, #3 is 9mm and a #4 is 12mm.

> something a little like this... http://www.new-hair-styles.com/photos/mens/mlarge8.jpg

Nice choice. Take the pic with you to the stylist and ask their opinion
- they'll help you to decide if it'll work for you.

wait till you go outside tomorrow orning, and can feel your breath on yout top lip, very freaky!

I tried keeping up with some guy that was about 27 years younger than me the other day. After about
an hour I realized I was almost 2 hours from home, so I cut it off. Didn't get home 'till about 8.

That kept my motor running until almost 1 in the morining.

Getting back on-thread, I'm pretty sure that one of the recognized effects of regular endurance
training is an increase in the body's ability to maintain it's current weight by burning off the
excess after an occasional pig-out. When I'm in what I think of as decent shape and occasionally
find myself sitting in front of the TV with a mostly-empty half-gallon of ice cream in my lap....
that night, I'll be really warm and my heart will be thumping away for several hours. My guess is
that it's dealing with the excess by somehow burning it off "riding stationary" so-to-speak.

Ha, breath nothing. my first sip of fizzy soda from a glass. a tingly sensation last known in
childhood and early teens.

Ask for a #2 or 3 on the sides and maybe a #4 or 5 on top. That'll give you enough length to where
it'll lay fairly flat if you want it to, but you'll still be able to spike it up if you feel like
messing with it. You need gel or mousse to get it to stand up like in the picture.

Yep, same here - if I eat a lot then get in bed, I nearly spontaneously combust. If I don't eat a
lot, I still generate one hell of a lot of heat. Suppose that's why I'm 6'1" and about 155-160 lb's.
