...well, not until tomorrow I suppose. Point is, I had the last of my exams yesterday, and I'm out and free. In honour of the hot weather, I have shaved my head partially bald, opened my windows, and had a beautiful bicycle excursion. Birds are singing, tourists are waddling about, etc. Ah, two beautiful months of digging holes and attacking the Erdos conjecture. And not talking to anyone I don't want to....maybe I'll even improve my chess game...

Oh...hadn't thought of that. I should explain. It was one o'clock in the morning, I was tackling a thorny lemma, with tea to replenish nature's flagging energies, when I came to the realization that the shaggy mane (which weighed more than I do), the beginnings of which can be seen in my profile, and which was the only redeeming feature of my appearance, was not entirely practical on the thermodynamic front. So I expended some serious effort with a scissors, a safety razor and a mirror, and chopped it down to size, followed by a removal of my (evolutionarily endowed) hair from my neck, forehead, and temporal regions. It is remarkable from a heat exchange standpoint, but when combined with my bony Teutonic face makes me look like a concentration camp inmate of alternative planetary origin.
And Mark, my shaggy mane also grew shampoo-resistant cash crops. I primarily cut it off to subvert the slave economy that was developing.

Originally posted by royalchickenThanks muchly. Sort of gives off a different sort of vibe than the squirrel pic that was there. Can't quite put my finger on it though...
TT-What year are you?
T1000-Brilliant avatar! When I was a little kid, I had this thing about tigers...I just thought they were fascinating and cool. I still have a photo of one on my wall.
And aye, I'm with you on the whole tiger thing - nevermind that little kid malarkey. There's a nice laminated poster of a tiger in my bathroom (not sure why it's there exactly...), a most excellent stuffed cuddly toy tiger named Albert that sits atop my armchair looking a trifle moody, and a large poster of an Andy Rouse photograph of two tigers swimming, with just their heads visible above the surface, on the wall dans ma cuisine.
Now it that sounds a little dodgoir it's nothing compared to the squirrel related items.... 😀

Most excellent. I never had much in the way of tiger merchandise, although I remember a few molded (not with green stuff growing on them, rather constructed with a mold. For animals with green fur, see Jay Peatea's thread in P&P) rubber ones. I'm quite a fan of Calvin and Hobbes though-
"Tigers are mean, tigers are fierce, tigers have teeth, and claws that pierce. Tigers are great, they can't be beat, if I were a tiger, that would be neat..."
