How to Shave a Squid AKA LA MoFi Meetup Pix My head is cold.
  • Lose some hair, gain hella badassosity. I say: good trade!
  • Big, big thanks to DaShiv and Tony/rasparticle for their documentation of the evening's debauchery. Big throbbing bananas to mandyman as well, for so graciously hosting the event and cooking yummy risotto. I'd also like to give props to sexyrobot (for cooking some of the finest fish ever to grace my palate), squidranch (for showing up despite having a chaotic day), and space kitty (for being one of the raddest people ever). Good times. See you all in June!
  • Here's to ye, squid and your new power cut!
  • If I'd been there I would've advised squiddy against the headshave and probably would've ended up scalped myself... With an ex-marine father who became naturally bald by 35, I cherish every lock, strand and fuzzy part I have left; that's just me.
  • Space Kitty: Wow, just, wow. :)
  • Yo. Could someone tell Mr. S. Robot & Ms S. Kitty to stop looking dashing 'n' shit in meetup photos? Makes everybody else who's ever appeared in a meetup photo look bad. *horribly aware of what tonight's London MeFi meetup photos probably looked like...*
  • (seeth, SEETH!!!) I'm not so sure bananas shouldn't be outlawed at these meet-ups. They obviously have too much of an inhibiting affect on Monkey behavior. Sad to see Monkeys not having a good time. Wendell, I cherish all your fuzzy parts, too. Especially that one right there. >
  • Nice one! ps - am I the only one who think sexyrobot looks like a younger, sexier and more talented Sean Penn? (I rate SP highly BTW so that is intended as high praise).
  • Dude. They totally stole "hot buttered ass".
  • Ha! I see Space Kitty's perky pic has been viewed more than any other. S.K., you are such a cutie, and just so.......perky! Again, wonderful pictures! Really hope to someday make it to a CaliMofiMeetup. It's very cool to see friendships continuing to develope and grow. I can say the same about the LondonMofiMeeters, too. Your all fabulous!
  • I think what we're all commenting on is the tits, and there's nothing to be ashamed of there. They're pretty nice. I've got access to nicer ones but they are a respectable effort indeed.
  • That's a nice chair in the last picture.
  • Monkey meetups make me happy to be alive. And for posterity, please find the origins of hot buttered ass. (see 10:25 pm entry) jim_t & Kimberly - what would we do without you?
  • After several days of laying low and getting used to seeing myself in the mirror, I ventured out today to the gym and did several errands. It turns out that according to friends, I have "a nice shaped head" and I "look really cool but intimidating". I might keep this look for a while.
  • I had my head buzzed (but shaved like yours) during a Christmas party last year, after my fourth bourbon. Though I've let it grow a bit, I've kept the style ever since. If it looks good, the low maintenance gets you hooked.
  • Oops, not shaved like yours.
  • Squidranch I'm not sure you have much of a choice about keeping that look for a while. But it does look pretty good.
  • Squid: I've shaved my head for years and I love it. I keep it at less than 1/8 of an inch. Pluses: You save money on haircuts, never have to do anything with it when you get out of the shower, and girls love to run their hands over it. Minus: People ask you if you've been in Iraq lately. Although that is a plus for some people, I suppose.
  • I shaved my pubes. Who wants pictures?
  • Speaking on behalf of the extremely-short-hair club (welcome Squidranch! meetings are Thursdays at 7, bring some snacks and a bowling ball shammy), I find my stern squinty glowerings much augmented and fear-generating when pitched from under a shorn pate. Such bristly craniums seem to say: Look, I f**cked tougher guys than you when I was in prison, so go ahead and make wisecracks if you want, but every scenario as to how this ends finishes up with the sentence "... and then you cry like a brownie whose best Barbie just went into the dispos-all." Also: what Name That Itch said: women touch my head a lot more. Not sure what that's about, but hey, I don't look gift horses in the mouth, right? Thanks for the shoutie!
  • sexyrobot is indeed!
  • Quid, I'm trying to eat lunch here ...
  • Just imagine me flossing with with residue, K.
  • *hurp*
  • *still can't believe they shaved squid*
  • Oh, look, there's my lunch again.
  • You should put a leash on it or something.
  • heeeyy....just got back from the meetup...wher'd everybody go? (actually...i just got back from death valley...i went with da shiv from mefi...everyone should email him about becoming a monkey...he's much cooler than the average mefite and a brilliant photographer...well you saw the pix...) thanks for coming, squiddy! it wouldn't have been the same without you...of course, there probably would have been less hair in the food....
  • death valley is a highly underrated vacation spot, sexy. dangerously gorgeous.
  • DaShiv's Death Valley photos are here.
  • Way nice pics. And WHY were you dancing thru the flowers?
