So would everyone in that case...?

Not everyone. Some are born infertile, some have no sex drive, others choose to become "neutered" (eunuchs)

I had some sort of "hole" in my beard; a small part, where just no hairs would grow (Quite common with younger people. At least some of my friends had it as well), no matter how often I would shave. :P

Yes, but the close proximity of other hairs and their relative density can help to cover such impurities.

It didn't, it just looked silly.

How big a bald patch are we talking here? A small hamlet?

Man, that's why nice guys always finish last, man!

Seriously? The time it took, I could have gone downstairs, cooked a meal, had a cup of tea, washed up and headed back up for round two and I'd have still have lapped the girl :P

That's the price you have to pay for being a Gentleman.

Me being a gentleman would indicate that I was sharing the shower with a lady. I can assure you that on the times that I have shared a shower with a female, she was no lady.

A gentleman is a gentleman no matter who he is with.

Sometimes, Gentlemen have to finish first. Trust me, there is no other alternative.

I used to try the Godzilla scenario, or rebuilding New York after some disaster.

I think I never managed to beat any other scenario. I tried one where your power plants are about to blow up, so you have to replace them as soon as possible. But it somehow was no fun at all.

That's one of the reasons that I preferred Theme Park and Theme Hospital - they seemed somewhat easier to ease yourself into.

I never really got into Theme Park. But I know that it's a good idea to add the maximum amount of salt to your fries, so you can charge the maximum for the drinks!

Yep, plus fill the drinks with Ice, so that you spend less to make them and sell them for more :P

Holy hell, the rain is coming down that heavily, I can't see to the other bank of the river from my office window. That's perhaps 500 yards away...

It was raining like that about 2 hours ago here as well. Oh my god.

I want to butt in this,

Feel free to

I've been buying the series up until now, I'm wondering to just stop now because it is already going downhill from series 11. So I'm just wondering, when did it get to the point when you had to stop watching the new episodes of the Simpsons? I haven't seen a new episode since around the 350 episode.

I kind of grew bored with it, when I completed my Futurama collection (their first hiatus). I have the first seven seasons and I never seem to be able to sit down and watch the lot back to back.

It was about the size of a thumb. Right on the downside of my chin. So it was clearly visible, when I didn't shave for about a week.

Are we talking on the neck (i.e. below the jawline), or actually on the curve of your jawbone? If it's the former, I'd suggest that you just shave your neck, leaving a decent beard behind...

That's lame. I used to watch them all the time on MTV. Back in the days, when MTV still was cool.

I keep meaning to watch the show but I never get myself to watch them. Surely there's a DVD boxset out there for Beavis and Butthead.

He should be set for life anyway but that's not to say I won't be getting those DVDs at all. Maybe in a couple of years I'll go ahead and buy them all. That should keep the episodes fresh.

I'd say season 11 was the beginning of the end. While seasons 9 and 10 had some bad episodes, season 11 was where it got really bad from a certain point. I'd say you shouldn't get further DVDs beyond season 11 and even then you are really pushing it.

There was a time when I was really into Futurama, like watching all the series every year, but it has been a long time since I have watched them back to back. Until like the Simpsons, I will be watching them back to back from series 2 to series 10 sometime soon. I don't know what is it, but for me The Simpsons just doesn't age (old series anyway).

You shouldn't overplay anything so give the Futurama DVDs a rest. I may end up watching through them all again once the second half of season 6 is finally released over here. It was meant to be in September but some fucker delayed it to March. Whoever did that needs their eye sockets torn out. As for The Simpsons, you are right that the older episodes never age. You can watch them even now and they'll probably be funnier than when you watched it a few years back.

I can see what you mean, but perhaps I've just not had the right amount of time for it. Perhaps I need to sit down and watch them with someone.

I don't have any bald spot anymore. It was when I was younger. I don't know when it disappeared, but I know for sure that I still had it, when I was 23.

Must be a spot that developed later than the rest...

Also, if you look at this picture, then it was located a bit above the point, where the "anterior belly of digastricus" is pointed out.

Shaving the neck would have worked well - those beards make people look slightly thinner, as well, if that helps...

I'm trying to think of the worst place, but I can't think of anything I would consider "the worst". Apart from obvious places like in a septic tank or something like that.

I can't help my parents, nor their way of bringing me up. I wouldn't change it, as it's opened my eyes and I've made my own mind up.

I only have to think about a certain song: Subway to Sally - Der Sturm. They sing about "4 horsemen" and a "storm" that is coming. They finish each refrain with a "Kyrie eleison".

Oh yeah, and don't pay attention to the video. :P

It sounds like Riders in the Sky... a little. I think the Blues Brothers did the best job of that song, to be honest.

To be honest, I mostly watched them because of the music videos they commented on. It's a shame that you can rarely find this part of the show anywhere.

They should look at some of the wackiest metal music videos. They'll be appreciating the drugs even more. :P

If I see Amazon selling them for £10 per boxset, then sure! My birthday is just around the corner and I've said I wouldn't mind Amazon vouchers. All I've really asked for is new shelves to be fitted in my sister's room so we can store all those CDs there and Rush's new album.

I don't really "watch" them half the time, I can just put it on and do other stuff, I can hear what is going on and I still get a laugh out of it. As odd as that sounds, its true.

Yeah, beards tend to be the last thing that develops fully. When my father grew his first beard, the hairs had a different colour in some spots.

If it's any consolation, when I have a crew cut, the hairs on the back of my head do go all mottled, having more than three individual colours and plenty of shades mixed in there.

Also, if you look at this picture, then it was located a bit above the point, where the "anterior belly of digastricus" is pointed out.

Oh, so you think I'm looking fat?! :'(

I never said that, I've never seen you before. I was merely suggesting a benefit of it. I'm thin, yet I would always shave my neck, in the event of growing a beard.

No, there are much better places for it, but there are also worse places.
