My last post seem to have confused the hell out of just about everyone, so that's one more thing I can cross off my list.
I won't bother to explain the Battlestar Galactica parts; suffice it to say that it's a show you should be catching up on with Netflix. And if you don't have Netflix, well, may God have mercy on your soul.
Many of you somehow failed to realize that one of the pics in the side-by-side comparison was a rather handsome actor and the other was me. This leads me to believe that either I'm a lot better with Paint Shop Pro that I thought, or you people really aren't paying attention.
So let me step through this with you:
This guy is an actor named James Callis, in a promotional photo for Battlestar Galactica:
This is me, doing my darndest to look as handsome and furrowed as James Callis:
This is the same pic, with the color sucked out and a cool sci-fi background added, for easier comparison to the James Callis promo shot:
Are you with me so far? Good.
Now here is what I would look like if I really did have James Callis' hair:
I know, not pretty, huh? This confirms my suspicion that my attempt to look like James Callis by growing my hair out was misguided.
What's even worse is that it's unlikely my hair would look that good. For one thing, it doesn't seem to be creeping forward on my scalp as I had hoped. But let's say I get implants to bring my hairline back to 1993 levels. I'm afraid that even if I gave my hair another 6 months, I would probably end up looking like this:
Yeah, Billy Ray Cyrus called and he wants his hair back. And while we're at it, 1998 called and it wants this joke back.
And finally, for Candace and Ann, the Jean-Luc Picard look:
I can put the bridge of the Enterprise in the background if you think that will help.
One time they shaved humor-blogs.com and all that was left was a pair of sneakers.

OOOOH! *claps h ands* Please put in the bridge of the Enterprise in for our perverse entertainment.
Bald....NO
Long hair....NO
Your hair looks great exactly the way it is!!!
I really would like to see you on the bridge but you have to do the uniform as well, you know, for the full effect.
As for the previous post, well...
1.) I don't watch Battlestar Galactica, I did; however,make an obscure Lord of the Rings reference in my comment on the last post, didja catch that? I figured if I couldn't go sci/fi with you I'd at least go with a fantasy reference. Do I get partial credit?
2.) That guy does not appear to be THAT handsome although he certainly is furrowed.
3.)Keep using your wife's fru-fru conditioner, it's way better than the alcohol/salt blend, AND you don't have to take the hit for being the kind of guy who buys himself conditioner.
When you creep the hairline forwards like that, you actually are, I fear, returning to the DANCES WITH WOLVES look. Don't do that.
Kicking Bird--out.
(btw, the Blockbuster Total Access DVD-in-the-mail program is damn good, as one gets a free movie when returning an in-the-mail movie to the store. We pay $18/month but have been watching 22 movies/month).
Kicking Bird--really out this time.
If you're going to go with the Piccard look, you'll need much more futuristic glasses. Maybe some with lasers.
Definitely different glasses. For all the looks. Try to go with glasses like the guy from BG.
Your hair is fine as it is, although I, too, would enjoy seeing the bald you in the uniform on the Enterprise bridge.
As for BG, I don't have that channel.
Hi there! I found my way here from CSL's blog (playing a little leap-frog tonight).
I agree with Arlene that your hair looks fine as is.
However, I agree with Robin that the hot little rectangular glasses James Callis is wearing may work well for you ;)
Instead of just showing pictures, can you give step by step instructions so I can learn something?
keep your hair at 'normal guy length.'
and i have a confession to make
my name is lime and i don't have netflix. for crying out loud i only just got cable tv in december! (i've had cable for the computer for 3 yrs though, lol priotrities...)
Wow...now I wish Gaius Baltar had his own blog. Then again, now that he's a space-Marxist, I imagine it would mostly be rantings about the emerging aristocracy and how much he dislikes Laura Roslin.
Tanya - Ok, ok! I'll post a pic of me as Picard on Friday.
Arlene - Gonna shave it off tomorrow. I'll be back to looking like I do in my profile pic (at the upper right of my blog).
Logo - I actually thought it was a Monty Python reference. And the matter of the hair has been settled. My son and I are both going with the crewcut for Spring.
Jocelyn - We have the cheapest Netflix plan, which give us 1 movie at a time. That's usually plenty.
Anita - I wear these glasses to keep my laser eyes from destroying everything in sight.
Robin - What's wrong with my glasses? They're only a year old, and they're supposedly quite fashionable. It even says "Giorgio Armani" on them. That's good, right?
Tammi Jean - Sigh. I don't think I'm going to replace the glasses any time soon. Thanks for stopping by though! :)
Goldennib - Hair care instructions?
Lime - Ah, so people will think I'm normal! Very clever.
Jess - Shhh! I'm only on season 2.
When in doubt, a mullet is tried and true.
I can't even remember what the heck I was going to say in this comment because my brain is now fully focused on the fact that Jocelyn watches 22 movies a month. My word.
Oh, I guess I was one of the confused ones. I think you should go with the bald look. I vote bald.
The Billy Ray Cyrus-inspired photo made me clap my hands over my eyes. Dear lord, please don't ever do that again! I agree with everyone, your hair looks fine the way it is.
Wow! That's some pretty cool Photo Shop work you've done there! LOL! That Jean-Luc Picard one was classic. I wasn't expecting that one. At least you didn't say it was your Britney Spears look.
I'm feeling a bit like Edith Bunker now..."Ohhh Arch, I get it!"
TFG - Too late, the hair is gone.
Dorky Dad - That is kind of insane, isn't it? Anyway, I'm now 1/2" from being bald.
Lizza - Don't worry.
Chrissy - That actually occurred to me, but I think we can agree that Picard looks better bald than Britney.
FuriousBall - I knew you'd get there.
I worked on my Picard/Enterprise pic last night for a while and it's shaping up nicely. I'll post it on Friday.
Good God! Now you just might be in my dreams tonight ... my nightmares that is! As Charlton Heston would say "Damn you to Hell!"
Seriously, some awesome Photoshop skills my friend.
I think you look better than that actor... but only with your regular hair, none of that crazy stuff. Lol.
