649.0. "Rogaine, available in April over the counter...." by SALEM::WINANS () Tue Feb 13 1996 23:16

    Will you run out to the nearest drug store to pick it up now that it 
    for sale over the counter at $30.00 for a month's supply??? Or are 
    you happy being just bald-headed???
    
    Anyone have any experience with the stuff good or bad????

649.1Don't we have a "bald" topic?MOLAR::DELBALSOI (spade) my (dogface)Tue Feb 13 1996 23:2610

Not likely. Even if they gave it away.

> Or are you happy being just bald-headed???

I've been trying to think of a reason why I, or anyone, should even care
about such an insignificant aspect of one's nature.

Maybe if someone was going bald in a really amusing manner (stripes, perhaps?)
it could be interesting.

649.3MOLAR::DELBALSOI (spade) my (dogface)Tue Feb 13 1996 23:553
Stripes? Sounds like a winner. Don't kids pay big bucks to get the barber
to do those these days? (or is that a fad that's passed?)

649.4GIDDAY::BURTDPD (tm)Wed Feb 14 1996 00:1913
Hmmm...
Maybe seasonal baldness could become popular.

A shamrock for St. Patrick's day
A heart for Feb 14.
An atomised atoll for Bastille day

This could be fun!  :^)

The barber would probably need an itty bitty razor and extremely steady hands.

    my dad (who's hair is thin) used to say that grass doesn't grow on a
    busy street.
    
    i reminded him that it doesn't grow through cement either. :-)

	I have a friend who had a bald spot on the back of his head. Before he
got married he said he earned that spot. It was a sign of him being under the
sheets! :-)

    yes, I know that I'm a little wacky, but when reading the title of
    this topic, I think of our April Barber, and the thought troubles me.
