"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

In any case, I find some balding men sexy, e.g., Chris Meloni.

Oooh yum! Plus Enrico Colantoni! Hmm. Their names rhyme, therefore, we should make up a song about sexy bald men.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think if you throw something big enough at a person, it will bounce nicely.

When's the last time you hurled a brick at someone? They tend to penetrate.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Is this code for something? Like fighting crime?

The red bird flies at midnight. The mouse sees its shadow in the moonlit field. Fnord.

That was quick. Well done, shrift!

I assume you're congratulating me on the cessation of the crippling pain. I think I should add that I still feel like toasted death, but now believe I won't yark in my lap on the way home, so progress has been made!

That aside, I'll bite. What do you mean, you're giving your computer a cocktail?

Actually, it is kind of like a drug cocktail. For my work Mac. It was, in professional jargon, 'acting squirrelly', so I gave my comp a Cocktail.

I'd heard that balding men have higher testosterone, on average. I may have heard this from the excellent testosterone episode of TAL.

The gene identified in the AJHG report is called the Androgen Receptor (AR1) gene, so testosterone will be involved somehow.

It is, IIRC, 1 inch over average.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hmmm. Z is tall (6'5"), not in any danger of balding, fair-ish, intelligent, and heavy-set. My father is wee, balding, dark, intelligent, and slim. However, going back through my data set, I split my time between tall and short men. The intelligence remains the overriding factor.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Is anyone's Tuesday not sucking royally?

No. Mine is being so effing Monday like, it defies description.

Yay for Kat and Lori and Robin having great trips and being back. Now that you are, you need to come visit me soon.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think if you throw something big enough at a person, it will bounce nicely. If the person is dumb enough, he might let you use a brick. Probably there is an upper limit to the "anything will bounce" rule, so don't try a wrecking ball, tempting as it might be.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I've heard that abundant testosterone causes both balding and a trend toward lots of body hair, and can definitely report seeing a correlation between those two factors.

I think smell can play a bigger role in selecting partners than we're consciously aware of. I know I've had a strong negative reaction to someone based on a personal scent that wasn't an indicator of bad hygeine. And thinking back, the ex was the most notably nice-smelling guy I can remember being around.
