I liked it so much I read it a second time. Most books I like don't get a second reading. You sir, shall be right up there with Tolkien as far as the re-reading part goes.

And is that Sickley's hair or has he grown a ZZ Top beard. In the one photos, it seems to be right down the center of his chest but you can't see his head.  :D

Surely that is the progress of young Sicklee's famous 'bum fuss'?

He wants me to say it's his beard but I will not lie for him. It is his fairy tale princess hair, which it seems nothing can stop. By contrast his pathetic chin and lip hair seems like the girly, weedy arms of a T-Rex when compared with its jaws.

He aspires to a manly beard, but won't listen to me when I say the quickest way to get one is to start shaving. He is still clinging tenaciously to the hope that one of these mornings when he wakes up his teenage bumfluff will have magically transformed into the beard of an Old Testament patriarch.

Poor Sickly.

The boy has my sympathy. At 33 I still can't grow a beard, unless I opt for the now infamous and universally ridiculed "gangsta goatee", and even that is wispy and frankly not worth the effort.

I'm thinking of getting mutton-grafts when I'm older.  :mrgreen:

That's the word I was looking for.

If his long and elven hair is that way naturally, he's doomed in the beard department. Maybe if he lets it go he could look like a low-budget Chinese sage, but there's no way his genes will let him pull off the beard. And if you can't get the beard to work, you may as well get the hair to go, or people will think his name is short for Regina.

Quote from: "Vanvlak"

Oh, and I DID listen to the music in its entirety too.


I read this and thought "What music?"

Then I remembered I had muted my laptop's sound, because of my webmail's irritating habit of telling me I have e-mail every 5 minutes.  :oops: I'll have to read the report again, now :lol:

Absolutely splendid! For some reason I've never visited your blog before, but it's now safely bookmarked  8)

There's no music on the report. That reference is to one of the travelogues (the Loire Valley one). And it doesn't play automatically (I really hate websites that do that to you), you have to click on it.


Edit: Hammers, I prefer 'Bum fuss.' I am going to use that phrase from now on.

That was a fun read!  I look forward to checking out the rest of your site.

(edit)

...and I did.  Fantastic reports!  Good thing I had already finished up my project at work because I would have had a hard time explaining to my boss why I didn't make the deadline because I was reading about the Wittelsbach Swimming club.
