    Balding angry hobbit here.


    My maternal grandfather was a cue-ball by 35 and my mother's brother suffered the same fate. So male pattern baldness is in my genes.


    I use Rogaine foam and Propecia and I still have a full head of hair with only a teeny bit of thinning at the crown.


    There is no problem that can't be solved through the judicious use of drugs.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Something funny that I have noticed. It seems men that bald faster have an easier time growing facial hair than men that keep the hair on their head longer.

    @Seika: Won't work for Ballmer. His head is high polished turd and turtled wax to the point that its as slick and hard as a marble. You can crack a bowling ball if you drop it on his head.

    I didn't try pills. I didn't try topical treatments. I just shaved the fucker off and now I'm perfectly fine without having any hair. I don't need this stupid shower cap. *sniff*

    Please clarify which body part you are referring to as "the fucker".


    No, maybe I don't want to know. Nor do I want to see any photos of it without hair.

    @El Blanco: Many more Japanese women lose their hair as they get older than Western women. I can't say why this is so, but I've lived in Tokyo for 20 years, and I've seen it much more than back home in the U.S. It may relate to diet, or genetics, but there are more products for women to deal with thinning hair advertised here than a Western person might expect.

    Sadly, I take showers so hot that you can see where the water flows over by the redness of my skin. If that hasn't opened these pores, this won't stop me from looking like Nick Cage soon.

    So, this is just an inverted rice cooker? Can't I just use the one I already have?

    @bosskev: Hobomodo:


    1) After your dog's biting risk period had ended, take his/her sugery head cone,

    2) cut off a 12-inch section from an old leather belt and

    3) fasten the ends to the narrow end of the cone.

    4) Wear like a sailor.


    Ta-daaaa! 7+ litres, guaranteed!
