    Seriously, just go ahead and do it. I get that you're probably just trying to fill time on the episode, but it's not that big a deal. Shave it, and if you don't like it, it's back in a few months.

    I'm surprised you guys didn't know about this. Trek has had this for months; it's pretty hot shit. The only downside is that that it almost doubles the cost of a bike (I'd rather save the $500 and carry an extra chain and tube of grease in my panniers), and the fact that all your gearing has to ride inside the hub. Plus, nothing like occasionally getting all greasy.

    That image makes me not want to.

    It's also not actually your head, so you won't look quite like that.

    Try this one instead. I took it just now in the mirror, so it's more up to date. Also, you can kinda mostly see the outline of my head.

    Why is it that almost every time I see you or a picture of you, you're wearing that shirt? I've only ever seen you or a picture of you like six times in my life, and at least 4 of those are of you in that shirt.

    I started listening to this episode, thinking to myself, "wow, strange deja vu." Then I remember I was watching part of the Ustream.

    Instead of a full shave, try a buzz cut. It will reduce the pale scalp issue and also works well with the halfway to balding hair.

    What is with the mp3 info? I downloaded this episode directly and it's name is "ØA", artist and album are unknown, and the player says it's two hours long.

    edit: This was supposed to be a clip of the south park montage song but I just discovered it is blocked worldwide due to copyright bullshit.
    Edit2: Here is the official link to the clip

    Buzzcut Scott is a scary, scary man.

    If he had a shave...

    Hey, just listening to the episode now. I have a bike with a seven speed in-hub gear. It's fucking awesome.

    I know, but he looks so Bad Ass! All he needs now is a pair of killer shades and he'll be beating the ladies away with a stick.

    The ironic part is that that's a lady's bald head.

    Update: I must admit, the bike is currently in the shop getting a new chain, because the old one stretched out and with no derailleur the lack of tension leads to the chain slipping off. Also, front suspension is a must. Listen to Rym about that, Scott, he's right and you won't regret it.

    On a related note: Adam and I now have bikes!! ^_^

    I gotta get two new inner tubes for my bike. I'm so smart I managed to rip the valve stem off of both pumping the thing up.

    I need a bike. What should I look for in a bike these days?

    The last good bike I owned was a Cannondale.

    What do you want to do with it?

    If you're going to shave your head, it may as well be for a good cause: St. Baldrick's

    I've got a friend that has raised about 1000$ doing this.
  • Luke BurrageLuke Burrage
    My bike was getting repaired, not just a new chain but something wrong with the front forks too. Turns out it's so broken it's not worth fixing, so I'm also in the market for a new bike. I know what I'm doing tomorrow... bike shopping!

    It has the word Saint in the name, but it doesn't seem to be religious. That's good. The only thing is that this seems to be one of the ones where you pester friends and family for donations. Not a fan of that.
  • GeoGeo
    St. Baldricks? Bah! Locks of Love is a much more rewarding and worthwhile charity to do that for. Pete, didn't you get rid of your ponytail for Locks of Love?

    10" minimum, not going to happen.

    Yup, that I did. Well, OK, I got rid of it because my hair was too thin to support a ponytail. It just so happened that it was long enough to donate to Locks of Love.
