Sheldon's New "Aero" Look! Wow!

Not open for further replies.
Speaking as someone who strongly resists things that would shorten my heaD hair but in warm temperatures is otherwise clean shaven I think that when Sheldon says "In addition, I don't want to face next winter without some chin insulation!" He is on the right track. Once it starts cooling off I quit shaving. Spring it goes again.

The hair is another issue. I am always somewhat frightened & confused when I see this happen. What brings an obviously wise man to do this?:p

But in Ovid's Metamorphosis we read

Cheldonas' beard was the envy of all mortals, and not a few of the gods. "Not even Zeus",
said the people, "has whiskers as extensive and distinguished as the Cyclist." At length
Zeus' ire was aroused, and hurling lightning bolts, he singed off Cheldonas hair. This sight
so dismayed the other gods that they begged Zeus to leave at least the eyebrows.

Caffeine doesn't increase insulin in and of itself, but _if_ it did so, it would only hasten the
descent into ketosis by further depleting liver glycogen levels.

An excerpt from "The Monk's Tale" about Sheldon and Delilah from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales":

... This Sheldon never touched strong drink or wine. No razor ever touched his head, no shear, By
precept of the messenger divine, For all his strength was in his hair.

<snip>

Delilah was his lover whom he told That in his hair was where his strength all lay, And Sheldon to
his enemies she sold; While he was sleeping in her lap one day, She had his hair all clipped and
shorn away, And let his foes observe, come for their prize; For when they had him in this weakened
way, They bound him tightly, then put out his eyes.

Before his hair had thus been clipped away, Men simply had no bond, this man to bind; Now he's
imprisoned in a cave where they Have bound him to his iMac, there to grind...

The Atkins diet does have a dark side including gout for some. As far as coffee goes, hey, you'll
have to pry the mug from my cold, dead hands. This is the Northwest. We drink a lot of coffee. --

To me the biggest down side to the Atkins plan is odor. Those on the plan can have bad breath and
excessive body odor.

I doubt I'll ever completely give up coffee either; I've been drinking it hot, strong and black
since I was 12. It probably is a good idea for me to cut down though.

Wait until the summer comes (If it is still gone). Wait until you see how hot it is. How your face
gets wet without those hairs to draw the water away from the skin.

>Sheldon "Keeping The Shiny Side Up" Brown

How many people told you looked young? I cut off mine every 3-4 years, and keep it off for a
week or so.

Dog is a good meal! - Mel Gibson in The Patriot

I wonder if Sheldon is familiar withe George Carlins treatise on ³White Guys Who Shave Their
Heads²...?

On Sheldon it looks good. I hope he does¹nt get the old chrome dome sunburnrd though.

Ride Safe - HAND

PS; Sheldon¹s evil twin, Carapice C. Umber, has not yet shaved I believe.
