How big a bald patch are we talking here? A small hamlet?

It was about the size of a thumb. Right on the downside of my chin. So it was clearly visible, when I didn't shave for about a week.

Man, that's why nice guys always finish last, man!

I never really got into Theme Park. But I know that it's a good idea to add the maximum amount of salt to your fries, so you can charge the maximum for the drinks!

Yep, plus fill the drinks with Ice, so that you spend less to make them and sell them for more :P

Oh, I didn't know that. Now, where do I get Theme Park? It's time to rip off some customers...

I want to butt in this,

Feel free to

I've been buying the series up until now, I'm wondering to just stop now because it is already going downhill from series 11. So I'm just wondering, when did it get to the point when you had to stop watching the new episodes of the Simpsons? I haven't seen a new episode since around the 350 episode.

I kind of grew bored with it, when I completed my Futurama collection (their first hiatus). I have the first seven seasons and I never seem to be able to sit down and watch the lot back to back.

Are we talking on the neck (i.e. below the jawline), or actually on the curve of your jawbone? If it's the former, I'd suggest that you just shave your neck, leaving a decent beard behind...

I'd say season 11 was the beginning of the end. While seasons 9 and 10 had some bad episodes, season 11 was where it got really bad from a certain point. I'd say you shouldn't get further DVDs beyond season 11 and even then you are really pushing it.

There was a time when I was really into Futurama, like watching all the series every year, but it has been a long time since I have watched them back to back. Until like the Simpsons, I will be watching them back to back from series 2 to series 10 sometime soon. I don't know what is it, but for me The Simpsons just doesn't age (old series anyway).

You shouldn't overplay anything so give the Futurama DVDs a rest. I may end up watching through them all again once the second half of season 6 is finally released over here. It was meant to be in September but some fucker delayed it to March. Whoever did that needs their eye sockets torn out. As for The Simpsons, you are right that the older episodes never age. You can watch them even now and they'll probably be funnier than when you watched it a few years back.

I don't have any bald spot anymore. It was when I was younger. I don't know when it disappeared, but I know for sure that I still had it, when I was 23.

Also, if you look at this picture, then it was located a bit above the point, where the "anterior belly of digastricus" is pointed out.

Hopefully the last Saves milestone before I reach 30k Blams

230 more blams? Even in this age that sounds like a lot.

So, is that not being released on CD, so it deserved a special mention?

Uhh what? I'm getting Rush's new album on CD. Strong exceptions of non-CD would be download exclusive or there's an album that's definitely worth having on vinyl.

The CD itself is out next week so no more magazine exclusive bullshit for it. Although, I could have asked for some Flotsam and Jetsam as well.

I find that when birthdays and Xmas come around, there is always plenty that you want.

Christmas seems to be where I'm more inspired to find new artists than ever. It always happen in November and I never go and attempt to get them beforehand. At least no-one can ever say I have too little ideas for Christmas presents.

It's been this quiet for a few months now. It shouldn't be like this but what can we do?

1/4 of a million medal points and today is my 12 year anniversary on Newgrounds! =)

Might make a newspost about it later, but life is so busy right now..

I passed 62,000 Saves somewhere overnight.

Sweet.

57,000 B/P!

Only 3000 more to 60k. The way the portal is right now, I guess 2500 of those points are going to be saves. :/

Coop gets far too wrapped up in the Dresden Files, but is still able to congratulate:
LegolaSS: 19,000 B/P
Nijsse: 250,000 Medal Points; 12th NG Berfday
Auz: 62,000 Saves
Haggard: 57,000 B/P
Britain: 236 years since we pulled out of America :P

Thank you to:
Odyssic

The worst thing is that I have 6 blams in the last 3 days - 2 of those 3 days, I actually registered zero blams.

Well, I've got a new Kiss Album to buy now, plus Rush and there are bound to be a few more lurking around there.

Level 45. :D

It is, a stupid magazine exclusive. That ends next week thankfully so that's just in time for my birthday. Anyway, birthday present ideas have been asked by the family so apart from the shelves, I'll go ahead with the list.

Eh, can't say I ever cared too much about Kiss. I understand their iconic status in rock n' roll but they were never my thing apart from a song or two.

Level 44!

Tweet!

Earned my 7,000th medal.

Level 56

Level 49!

Coop enjoys a spot of breakfast, while congratulating:

Well, as much as that may be the case now (I doubt it actually), we decided not to fight the colony and let America run itself.

Good. I noticed yesterday that Geddy Lee is choosing the Tracks of his years on Radio 2 this week, about 11.40 on Ken Bruce, if you're interested.

Yeah, beards tend to be the last thing that develops fully. When my father grew his first beard, the hairs had a different colour in some spots.

If it's any consolation, when I have a crew cut, the hairs on the back of my head do go all mottled, having more than three individual colours and plenty of shades mixed in there.

My hair starts to become gray already. :(

Also, if you look at this picture, then it was located a bit above the point, where the "anterior belly of digastricus" is pointed out.

Shaving the neck would have worked well - those beards make people look slightly thinner, as well, if that helps...

Oh, so you think I'm looking fat?! :'(

I never said that, I've never seen you before. I was merely suggesting a benefit of it. I'm thin, yet I would always shave my neck, in the event of growing a beard.

It was just me trying to act like a girl... you know the situations, where you can never say the right thing? "Honey, do you think I can wear this skirt or does it make me look fat?" - "You can wear it, it doesn't make you look fat." - "OH, so you think I'm FAT?!! *tears*"

Luckily, my wife isn't anything like that. :3

No, there are much better places for it, but there are also worse places.

I'm trying to think of the worst place, but I can't think of anything I would consider "the worst". Apart from obvious places like in a septic tank or something like that.

Well, I was thinking the back seat of a car, when a police officer taps on the window and says "Sir, is this your car?" :P

So, what if you answer: "No, and I don't know whose car this is."

I was thinking more along the lines of Beverly Hills Cop - "This is not my bedroom!"

Oh, it's too long ago since I watched that movie.

Wow, childhood flashback. I had to chant that during a production of the Flood, when I was in the school choir :P Yes, I was an angel, once.

LOL! Good thing I never went to church, nor was I ever a "member" of this "club".

I can't help my parents, nor their way of bringing me up. I wouldn't change it, as it's opened my eyes and I've made my own mind up.

And I have to thank my parents for never having me baptized. I think you actually have to pay to get out of church... but on the other hand, you can save some money, because you don't have to pay church taxes anymore.

I think it was a good excuse for a family piss up, with my lot.

Yeah, makes you wonder what's this "freedom of religion" thing is all about.

The commented on Wendy O. Williams and The Plasmatics - The Damned. They liked the video, because... well, it features a nearly naked chick and lots of explosions.

I could only have a glance at it (without sound), but it indeed looks really bad.
Most bad videos come from Hair Metal bands, though. Lots of (half naked) chicks and lots of (half naked) boys that dress like chicks (and I'm not even talking about Twisted Sister here). Not something you would instantly connect with the word "metal".

When was the last time I tuned in to the radio? Oh right, during the last two months of Bruce Dickinson's Friday radio show two years back.

Twisted Sister are actually really good. It's just a shame they have an association with hair metal just like how W.A.S.P have horribly been mislabelled as that many times.

39,000 Saves!

Wow, no achievements to report for quite some time and now they all come at once.

15000 EXP!

Well, some people I know started going grey at 17-18, which is really weird. Plus one of the guys I went to school with was completely bald by the time he was 20. You've got it easy.

I think I'd fit if I found a grey hair.

I watched it the other night. We've finished Cop 2, so now onto Wonderworld and Cop 3, which is the most bizarre of the lot.

It's bollocks, basically. I made my own mind up and to be fair, my mum has stood by me and allowed me to make my own decisions, for the most part. Saying I wished to abstain from RE lessons at school didn't go down well, neither did me getting caught reading during them, nor skipping the lessons, to finish my A-Level Physics coursework.
