A Hair-Raising Day
For some reason, there've been several follicular jokes today:
*Pat Sajak took off his toupée. (I've been watching this utterly pointless show lately when there isn't anything interesting to watch in just the half hour between CA$H CAB and JEOPARDY! At least last week they had a free contest. It wasn't for anything I wanted, but it was free anyway.)
*Alex Trebek grew his mustache back (black this time) between episode tapings in one day, then shaved it during a CM break.
*Aussie geeks have long hair, but no beards. I'd've cast the darker-haired guy as Qui-Gon because the colors match better that way, and his five-o'-clock shadow is more prominent because of the contrast. (I have that problem as well. Geeks are too lazy to shave daily.) Apparently, they also have tiny dinosaurs on the dinner table in Ms. Skywalker's house. (Apparently Mos Espa slaves are allowed to own a lot of property.)
Nothing from Ms. Hayashiya this year or last year. I only remember her here because of the bomb she dropped in '06. From what I hear, she's doing just fine with Ms. Makise (although she doesn't talk about their relationship, so we just have mōsō).
