I have the best of both worlds.

I have a gigantic forehead. Kind of like an empty canvas for painting a mural depicting the history of the world with extra space for footnotes, signatures and a frame. This hasn't been a question of receding hair line, as the darned thing has always been large. Nasa has been talking about sending equipment up there to map it and use sounding devices to see if there's anything inside, but I think their money is better spent searching for intelligent life somewhere else.

I also have the long, graying locks thing, or at least a really neat comb-over from my back hair. I do use garden tools and a few bungees to keep it from getting too outa hand.

I would love to buy one, but I'd only pay $25,000 if it made you able to play like Eddie, and it included a date with his ex!

How much would we go for 80's hair?
I'm just happy to be here.

A real A C Cobra from the 60's can go for 1/4 to a 1/2 a million, a kit car Cobra is 25 to 50K, same thing with one of these replica guitars. Why worry about how much something costs that you can't afford...This may be why you have no hair...I don't know cause I still have my hair at almost 60 yrs. old...

I'm not a worrier, Dale.

BTW, my hair loss is not normal male pattern baldness, but instead a fairly rare dermatological condition called "alopecia totalis". You may want to look it up.

It happened to me at age 35, over a period of less than a week.

There is no cure.

Dunno, I don't like my 60's AC, never did, that soft aluminum skin that was so easily dented is a pain, it only came in blue with the white striping so it shows dirty easily, and so it just sits in the garage year after year, only being cranked up monthly for about ten to fifteen minutes to keep the piston rings healthy....

I might trade it for the right Rick.... Image

Paul, at least you'll never turn grey.

And there are other solutions...

Other than the beard, it looks a lot like me back in the early 70s! Har!

How about Whirled Peas? {:^) They may happen sooner. Many, many bad guys out there that like to fight!
