Promise.. hand held high.. you will never ever wear the Trump style hair cut.. You will not pour a cup of oil on your head and slick back your hair aka 1940's Germany..

It just creeps me out no end..

Promise, swear,...

[lpbk2713]

1. You have my word.

Bizzarro.

[Peacetrain]

3. I cannnot stand to look at them on TV

and then I saw a picture of the youngest.. Baron.. and there he is.. looking every bit like his older brothers..

[lpbk2713]

5. When I see them I have to think of The Aviator.

The movie about Howard Hughes.


Hmmm. There might be some parallels with Trumpie there.

[Peacetrain]

7. Hughes was a few bricks short of a full load also

[MindPilot]

22. Yes, but unlike trump, Hughs was effin' brilliant. n/t

[safeinOhio]

2. I also promise to never

wear a stupid cap with a suit and tie on too.

[Peacetrain]

4. yes!!! that too..

[sarae]

30. I hate that stupid red ball cap.

[lpbk2713]

57. That always gets me.

It's like wearing argyle socks with sandals.

[3catwoman3]

72. Or ANY socks...

...with sandals!

[raven mad]

92. 3catwoman3, you voiced my exact thought........

And I live way up here where sandals are ok for maybe a month a year..............

[safeinOhio]

86. I'm very lucky to have

some gay friends that tell me when I really screw up with my wardrobe.

[FrodosPet]

102. I'm very lucky to have

a work-at-home job and an antagonism towards trending fashions.

If I scare or disgust people because of the way I dress or wear my hair, GOOD! It helps keep shallow people and wallet divers away.

[Gabi Hayes]

6. put down your drink; go here, click to four minutes in. haaaaaarghaaaa

[Peacetrain]

13. I will get to this later!!

Thanks

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. I take a brush with one swipe after bathing, and forget it

Everyone on my dad's side had a fool head of hair all thru life. Some, like me, are even fooler.

But I object to discussing his coiffure, when his policy positions are even uglier and even more artificial.

[Peacetrain]

11. Sometimes you have to have a little humor before you get back into the battle..

[ChairmanAgnostic]

14. Hey, femurs are bones too!

And so often ignored.

I guess a sense of femur just doesn't cut it.

[left-of-center2012]

9. Hair? What hair?

Hair today.
Gone tomorrow.

[Peacetrain]

20. True that!

[zipplewrath]

98. I've heard of this stuff

Have a vague recollection about it.

But like so many things, it's too far back to truly remember.

Now where are my glasses?????

[Gabi Hayes]

10. have you seen rock the kasbah, with bill murray?

lots of cat stevens songs, including, well, you know

it's a surprisingly good movie, with an inspiring message, believe it or not

and the person who sings the main song is just amazingly fantastic

I'll pay for it if you don't like it; screw the idiotic reviews...that was what kept me from watching it til now....it's....inspiring! and lots of laughs

I got it free at my library, like all the movies I watch

[petronius]

12. I don't believe I have ever taken a DU pledge before,

but I will gladly sign on to this one!

[Peacetrain]

16. ROFL!

Saw someone at the mall with that gosh awful do.. and I thought.. oh no oh no.. this is not going to become a fashion statement..

[Aristus]

15. I've been living up to that promise for over twenty years.

I started going bald at age 24, and I swore to myself early on that I would never wear a combover.

I'm bald on top, and keep the sides and back very short. It's a neat, clean, simple look. No frills, and no combed-over strands...

[Peacetrain]

18. Bald men who own it.. look really good..

Comb overs.. you just sit and stare at them waiting for the wind to lift the lid.. you can't help yourself!.

[Aristus]

21. I had a patient yesterday who wore a horrible combover.

It wasn't just ugly. I kept wondering to myself while looking at it how much work must have to go into it everyday. It looked like one needed a degree in engineering and a good relationship with the wind-gods to keep it in place.

[Peacetrain]

23. ROFL!!

[ToxMarz]

55. Maybe it's good for elderly people

Keeps their mind sharp to ward off Alzheimers.

[Gabi Hayes]

24. chicks dig me:

http://images.guff.com/gallery/image/combover-6

[MindPilot]

25. In Japan, I'm told, the combover style is called...

barcode.

[eleny]

17. thanks for bringing up the slick back style

those two have been giving me the creeps with that "look".

[Peacetrain]

19. I know.. it makes me a little ill..

I was just telling someone else.. was at the mall and saw a guy go by with that slicked back mess.. and thought.. oh no.. not a fashion statement...

[eleny]

33. oh, no!

seeing it in person is almost worse.

that pic of the two of them in profile posted around here yesterday gave me the shoulder chills.

[Iggo]

26. I'll never color my hair. I'll never wear a toupee. I'll never do a comb-over.

In fact, if I do go bald on top, I'm shaving the whole damn thing.

I promise.

[Peacetrain]

29. Most excellent!!

[Warren DeMontague]

27. that's a "style"?

Doesn't a style require more than one person to do it?

[Peacetrain]

34. Now there is a question??

Can you imagine between the oil on the boys and the hairspray on the Donald.. it has to require some EPA restrictions.. has to be detrimental to the environment!!

[Warren DeMontague]

36. It's like he's wearing an exploded ferret on his head.

[klook]

84. The look universally favored by shitgibbons (n/t)

[raven mad]

94. OMG! Did everyone here on DU

print that out and post it on time clocks and in grocery stores everywhere? (LOL!, blush.........) But exploded ferret rocks the boat!

[eleny]

37. see pics of his two sons

gack

[Warren DeMontague]

38. oh yeah, d-bag and toothy von fuckface, I know.

[Gabi Hayes]

39. uday and qusay?

one of them has his eyes on the mayoralty of NYC

[Peacetrain]

42. NOOOOOOOOOO!

Make it go away.. rofl

[Gabi Hayes]

48. the guy on the left was on tv the other day....looked very hung over:

moist, pink, beady eyes, flushed face.....very unhealthy looking

I want to see MORE MORE MORE of this guy

almost as repugnant as his sperm donor

and the short one is even worse, with a perpetual sneer plastering his visage

[eleny]

62. We run screaming

[Buns_of_Fire]

45. I get more of a "Beavis and Butthead" vibe from them. nt

[Moostache]

47. Those two assclowns are not competent enough to be as evil as Uday and Qusay...

I'm thinking more on the level of these characters:

[img][/img]

[Gabi Hayes]

49. heh....those two at least have the advantage of being funny

U and Q are genuine murderers

you know what I'm talking about, yes?

[Moostache]

64. Yeah...the real ones (U/Q) were horrifying examples of human beings.

The Trump boys strike me as being far more likely to be the sort of bungling idiots that can't get out of their own way. The Hussein kids were anything by funny by comparison for sure.

[63splitwindow]

51. ...

[Hekate]

67. There ya go. Arrogant, with dead eyes.

[Homer Wells]

66. Just a bit like

DRACO MALFOY!!!!

[smirkymonkey]

71. Nooooo! For god's sake. No!

It's terrifying!

[spanone]

104. stupid and stupider

[MindPilot]

28. Never...never in a thousand years will I do either.

My mother used to slather the grease on my head, and I was a greasy kid to begin with. She had no concept of "a little dab".

[Iggo]

32. Dippity-Do for me.

Boy, was I slick.

[Peacetrain]

40. Thank you!!

Never understood the greased hair thing myself!!!

[kestrel91316]

31. Yeah. Between Benedict Donald's grotesque rabid marmot, and his sons'

pomaded SS do's, I am ready to hurl

[Peacetrain]

35. Ah Yep!!

[sarae]

41. Speaking of outdated hairstyles

have you ever noticed that Hannity looks like he stepped out of a 1930's Sears catalog?

?itok=r_LsQJ3d

Sears, 1930's:

[Gabi Hayes]

50. more like he crawled out of the 3 week-overflowed catch basin of a lollapalooza

portapotty

[sarae]

59. that, too...

[klook]

85. Somebody give that man a beaver skin coat and a ukulele

[Efilroft Sul]

87. Dear God, Ted Cruz plays the ukelele. n/t

[Moostache]

43. Sorry. Can't do it. Can't cede the only hair style I have left to the Yam!!!

My male pattern balding is acutely centered in the crown of my skull and spreading to the front, where the widow's peak is giving way to a massively thinned front. It will eventually end up in a completely average bald look - given the rate of receding I estimate another 2-3 years top. I'm more George Carlin circa 1990 than anything....although the ponytail doesn't work with my wiry hair...starts to look more Samoan or Afro style when too long, it's not good!

[img][/img]

RIP George...I know that you would be gob-smacked by this election like everyone else, but I wish you were here to give us the pleasure of your take!

[retrowire]

44. i promise

Trump has killed that hairstyle as much as Hitler killed that mustache.

Forever inappropriate.

[angrychair]

46. Never

Ever. Never.

[grubbs]

52. No worries

I started shaving mine or burring it at 1/8 inch when I got receding hairline with a seriously thin spot on the crown of my dome.

[MrScorpio]

53. That's not very likely with me

It's not like I have that kind of hair in the first place.

[Iggo]

73. Ha!

[turbinetree]

54. You have my word

with my hand over my heart.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

56. I don't have enough hair anymore

... to do it if I tried.

I might wear a Trump wig at Halloween to look extra-scary!

[MicaelS]

58. I got a burr haircut for the summer.

So much cooler.

[Saviolo]

60. Pretty unlikely here!

I'm almost 40 and heading rapidly towards a Bernie haircut, really.

[KMOD]

61. pinupboy3niner rocks it!!!

[img][/img]

[Act_of_Reparation]

63. Fear not

I haven't enough hair to do anything with.

[Hekate]

65. The Trump Boys are creepy as hell. The arrogance and entitlement just ooze out of their pores...

[Soxfan58]

68. Sure

Im bald

[kairos12]

69. No way-my hair went the way of Bryl Cream.

[Cryptoad]

70. No Hair oil for me,,,

I prefer Possum Fat and a wee bit of Green Lizard!

[Gabi Hayes]

74. this?

[Gabi Hayes]

75. dynamic duo?

[Liberal_in_LA]

89. This

[Glamrock]

76. I'm toying with trying it

See, I've never been able to grow facial hair. Always wanted badass sideburns and a fu manchu(Snort if you must but, we all has dreams baby!) No such luck. If I don't shave I look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. So I'm hitting mid forties and like, where is all this hair coming from? It never used to be there before . So. I'm thinking if I quit trimming my nose and ears....you see where I'm going with this, yeah?

But on top of my head? Never!

Trying to age gracefully,
Glamrock

[alfredo]

77. It's easy, so easy I don't have to swear.

Excuse me while I shine my pate.

[Yallow]

78. I'm Bald

No problem here.

[bigwillq]

79. I promise. I keep my hair in a buzz cut.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

80. ...

[marble falls]

81. I may wear a hat but I will not knit a combover into a wig. I promise.

[Buzz cook]

82. Buzz cut for me.

Once I turned 50 I cut off the hair and haven't looked back.

[Feeling the Bern]

83. Considering I shave my head bald every two days and have for 15 years, I doubt I will.

[AlbertCat]

88. you will never ever wear the Trump style hair cut

BTW.... OK, only if you never wear one of those Dr Evil jackets made out of carpet padding....with fringe!

[Hugin]

90. Ha! No worries here, PT.

I've got you covered. When I speak of my "hair", its in the singular.

[Odin2005]

91. It looks like an elaborate comb-over.

You think with his money he could afford some hair plugs...

[raven mad]

93. Had to bookmark this one -

for the only male in the household (it's this female and all girl cats) wouldn't dream of it (and he's gorgeous).

[Nevernose]

95. No way. His hair is FANTASTIC.

It's truly a work of art. It's the only redeeming timing about him, and a testament to the work of his hairstylist.

Everything about it speaks of sculpture: the color, the shape, the flow, the function in addition to form. Even better, to paraphrase HP Lovecraft, it bends space and time in ways that the mind can only understand conceptually, logically, but not in actuality. Non-Euclidean geometry.

Maybe Trump is just the yuppie, Republican Andy Warhol, and this is all the greatest piece f performance art ever conducted.

[Warpy]

96. ....or any combover, plugs or no plugs

Guys, bald looks just fine, well unless you have the untidy beard & ponytail combo that makes it look like the hair slid off the top of your head to the back of your neck and your chin. Wear that male pattern baldness proudly as evidence you don't need to take testosterone pills, you've got enough to evict the hair off the top of your head. Shave the rest and it looks like you planned it that way.

Above all, don't get a rug the color your hair used to be with the curls you wished you had, it always looks like there's an Airedale pelt on your head.

We'd much rather see you just as you are.

(for those missing the humor gene, this is 100% tongue in cheek)

[Peacetrain]

97. I have had so much fun reading all the replies.. just could not keep up with them

[ProfessorGAC]

99. I Make No Promises About The Slicked Back Hair

As one of sicilian descent, the image of Michael Corleone at his house in Tahoe is one i still find interesting.

Now, the haircut itself, you have no worries about my hair looking like that.

[baldguy]

100. No danger here.

[anoNY42]

101. "You will not pour a cup of oil on your head and slick back your hair"

But then how would we go to the Halloween party as greasers?

[Adrahil]

103. Well, for a costume, I might....

But for reals? I promise.
