Skinny Puppy Sues US Over Use of Their Music at Gitmo

[Gusington]

^It really does...my Grandfather died with a mop full of gray hair. I started losing mine before I was of legal drinking age :/

Maternal or paternal grandfather? I'd heard that guys get their maternal grandfathers hair. Mine had a full patch and so do I. One of his brothers wasn't so lucky.

There are only three possible outcomes to any thread.

1. Bewbs
2. Puns
3. Gus' s height.

That does seem to be the case these days.  ::) 

I'd heard that guys get their maternal grandfathers hair.

I wish, but not in my case.  In general, my family -- on both sides -- are an indication of just how much of a crapshoot male hair is. 


On my mom's side of the family, my grandfather had a pretty full head of hair up until his death at 89, as do 2 of my 3 uncles.  On the other hand, 2 of his 3 brothers (my great-uncles) began balding in their 30's, as did my other uncle.  My grandmother's brothers all began balding sooner or later, but most of *their* sons (my mom's cousins) still have a decent amount of hair. 

In contrast, my paternal grandfather was balding at least in his 40's (if not sooner), while my father (who's 65) continues to have hair whose thickness & body -- despite being mostly white now -- far exceeds my own these days.  :-[  Go figure.

My grandfather started losing his hair early, but he was military all his life and pretty much didn't care, so he kept it buzz-cut short all his life, even up to his death in 1992.

I, on the other hand, continue to sprout hair from my head like a hippy - it grows like mad and I have to get a haircut about once every five weeks, otherwise it becomes a thick mess. I tried to grow it out to see how long I could get it before it annoyed me, and it ended up annoying my wife more first, so guess who won that little sideshow?  ::)

My hair also started going gray when I was 20. I colored it off and on but after countless arguments from my wife, she finally convinced me to stop doing that because apparently gray hais is "distinguished" on men.

I say screw that, because I may be 44 but I still act and feel like a 20-year-old sometimes. But again, guess who won...

I have it narrowed down to Steelie or Windy.

whos the tallest?

Why, do you think it skips a generation like baldness (which would narrow things down a bit)?

i figured the shortest would be Gus' pa

there is always the alternative - if one really is Gus' dad, which one slept with a dwarf - one of them has to fess up

That's apparently a bucket list item for some. Very feasible it could have been one in a pre-Gusington family member.

The more I read of Gus, the more I wonder if Tucker Max is in his gene pool.

Nigeria please...they both slept with dwarfs and probably far more exotic fare.

It was my maternal Gramps who died with a full head of hair. On my Dad's (whoever he is) they had full heads of hair and were tall. My actual Dad is 6 feet amd his brother 6 4!

That sounds familiar. My mother is 5'4", my father 5'6", my grandparents both not taller than 5'7", and me, I'm 6'4". My grandfather on my dad's side was apparently a giant of a man, almost seven feet tall, so that's probably where it comes from. That or a mutant dwarf bite at some point in my childhood.

So they planted your feet in fertilizer when you were 8 months old.  Big deal.  That's still legal in 11-12 states or so.

[BanzaiCat]

LOL...memories of my childhood are sketchy. It was Northern Virginia until 5th grade...you never know.

[Gusington]

I know exactly who did this...my maternal great grandfather. He was about 5 feet tall...shorter than his wife, who he is posing in a picture with, sitting down. The majority of my male relatives were over 6 feet. That one tiny bastard ruined everything.

I can't belittle you for having a little person in the woodpile. Shortly, someone will come along and offer a hug, which is no small thing. Just don't get short with them over it. Just remember to ignore the yellow brick road or chocolate river if one happens to cross your path.
