I spilt open my right eyebrow in a sports related rage one time, and I had no idea that it happened. It didn't hurt at all, and (after I woke up) I was really confused when my teammates told me that there was no way in hell that I could continue the game and that I had to go get stitches. If it hadn't been for all the blood, I wouldn't have believed them. The stitches didn't hurt either. The GP that stitched me up really should rethink his calling and go into plastic surgery. You can't see the two inch scar unless you're really looking. And it's not because of any surrounding wrinkles.

I split open my eyebrow in a drunken stupor one time. It didn't hurt either (not sure if it would have hurt had I been sober, but I think not). But it did freak out those around me that I was dancing around with blood dripping down my face.

Carry on.

In a fight in high school, I had my head rammed into a closed car door. Put a huge dent in it. I felt nothing.

(I'm sure SD will say you have to die of something, and, while true, shouldn't it be something more preventable than skin cancer?)

And, more important, less painful ways to die. Melanoma that spreads, as my acquaintance who's likely to die from it in the next month or two, spreads to just about every part of your body. You're lucky if it hits the brain first so you die quickly, instead of every other organ, which causes your body to decay slowly.

Not sure that's true. There are (perversely) no nerve endings inside your brain, or very few of them, for pain experience. I don't think the head itself is particularly sensitive --- I've occasionally had tell someone they were bleeding from the head.

I clunked my head on some hard ground on Saturday, and it still smarts (and I was wearing a helmet). Believe it or not, I didn't do the head clunking part just for fun. It wasn't, so that wouldn't have been a good choice of activity had that been my motive.

You still have to wear a helmet when you go outside? That must have sucked when you were a kid.

Ohhh-kkkayyyy. I think it's time to go out and have a few drinks and hot sex with a young stud.

... most men won't start seeing the effects of sun damage and smoking on their skin until their mid or late 30's.

SD is at least that old. And his liver is doing time with mine over at an assisted living facility.

Yes, but remember most people here are not blessed with the natural beauty that is you. Take Thurgreed, please.

Speaking of looks, I just got some email fashion thing from the NY Times where it asked what's the minimum number of products on your face you'll leave the house wearing. Apparently no-one except one guy can be seen in public without at least $50 bucks worth of mascara bronzer eyeshadow and hair shine on 'em.

I sometimes apply an unscented aftershave gel. Does that count?

I use a moisturizer, foundation, finishing powder, concealer, blush, eyeliner, mascara, lipliner, lipstick, eyebrow color, and 2 or 3 hair styling aides daily (not necessarily in that order). In the summer (while not at work), I use a bronzer sometimes and some shimmer powder on my shoulders and decolletage.

Not again.

No more yanky my wanky.

Coltrane need food.

And the living will envy the dead. Nice. I'm off to microwave my head right now, because these freckles on my shoulders just - don't - look - right . Or perhaps the ciggies will get me first. Something to look forward to.

I know that this post will likely bring down the wrath of the FB gods upon me, but I just had to point out that you just admitted to wearing glitter.

Bring on the pm's...

I forgot I also use perfume, but not necessarily daily.
