New York Times Discovers That Men Trim Their Eyebrows

Posted: 10 Mar 2011 11:48 AM PST

Holy friggin’ stop the presses.
Old guys pay to get their eyebrows trimmed.

I’ve never been in the New York Times newsroom, but I can tell you without equivocation, there used to be ton of old white men there. Maybe they all have been laid off.

The old white men that are left may not trim their eyebrows with the feeling that it gives them some gravtitas.

But for the rest of us, who are married to women point out our lack of grooming

  • “did you shave today?”
  • “when are you getting your hair cut?”
  • “when’s the last time you trimmed your toenails?”

know that at some point, trimming the hair from above one’s eyes and in one’s nose and in one’s ears, is part of the routine.

ANDREW ADAM NEWMAN, (I love that NYTimes.com puts the writer bylines in ALL CAPS. They may do the same thing in the print edition, dunno) needs his guybrows trimmed.

Obviously ANDREW ADAM NEWMAN knows about hair. Looks like he shaves his head or at least has a tight buzz cut. No doubt he is losing his hair… which leads to this:

"I wish the hair on my head would grow as fast as my eyebrows," said Mr. Sultana, 62, a real estate developer who lives in Forest Hills, Queens, and Panama. "I have very bushy eyebrows, and I can look like Groucho Marx."

No wait, that’s not it… it’s this:

Five years ago, Mr. Sultana made his first appointment with Ramy Gafni, an eyebrow stylist, …and who charges $75 for a service he calls "eyebrow sculpting."

Jesus with Frog Flippers! Seventy-five dollars. That should include a wash, set, and blow-job.

 

 

Set Your Clocks Ahead Tomorrow Afternoon

Curmudgeon has a helluva idea… set clocks ahead Friday afternoon for Daylight Saving Time.

I’ll overlook his misplaced “s” ( the extra s at the end of saving) I like his idea soooooooo much. It’s almost as good as my 28 hour days for the weekends.

There are advantages to daylight savings time, but we lose an hour of our precious weekends each time we make the switch.

The problem has an easy solution: Instead of taking one hour from our sleep on Saturday night, why not take an hour from Friday afternoon instead?

Go home an hour early tomorrow. Set your clocks ahead then.

3:58… 3:59… 5:00…. Happy Hour!

Spread the word, mmmmkay? If we can’t have DST all year ’round because of loutish farmers and loudmouth lughead Moms, let’s have this little bit of compromise.

G’head. Take off an hour early tomorrow afternoon. I’ll write you a Daylight Saving Time note if you need it.
