I remember one time, i must have been about 11 or 12, I was hassling my mum while she was cooking the sunday roast....having just got back from 11 o clock mass....

"But Mum, Jesus had long hair...."

at which point she threw a tin of sardines and a loaf at me and said, "OK Smartarse....you do the bloody dinner....."

No answer to that one.....and I never saw my dad laugh as much in all his life....

:D :D :D

Its your hair!! I cut mine cause I'm lazy and its easier to manage, but I used to be a hippy in my youth!!! Like someone said," If long hairs so bad, then why does Jesus look like the Drummer from Foghat" :?:

1981, I had a haircut the week befor. just got married here.

There is a picture of me somewhere with short hair, I know Pet laughed her whatsit off when she sqaw it....

Trying my best not to find it.....

I didn't only have it cut short, I had it dyed....never, never, never again! it was for my step-daughter's wedding.....Marilyn insisted that for once, I was going to look smart....I felt like a total pillock.....

I hate short hair, shirts, trousers and shiny shoes....I guess at heart, I'm just a long-haired, t-shirt and jeans and trainers kind of guy....

Chris C - "you have a great face"....cut back on the XXXX, man.... yeah, great face for radio......LMAO.....my picture is next to "ugly" in the OED....

it's also used as the standard definition of "wtf IS THAT!!!!!"

:D :D :D

As Rahul suggested I ran you original picture through Photoshop, cut the hair and tinted the hair and beard and look what I came up with.

In all likelihood Jesus looked nothing like the IKEA Carpenter from Sweden, but that's neither here nor there.

I vote for having hair. I did once.

Funny -- I guess some of us just assume everyone knows this. Apparently it's not so popular in John's region of India.

Vic:

Typically, I don't give a rat's @ss on something such as this, but decided to consider it seriously. Long is okay for Freebird ( :wink: ), but you'd probably look better in the conventional sense of cool with longish on top and shorter back and sides. Question is: Do you want to go by the usual standards of beauty or blaze your own trail?

Be true to your self and all that stuff ... but if headed to the beach, shave back and belly.

Bart: What do we need church shoes for, Jesus wore sandals.
Homer: Well, maybe if he had better arch support they wouldn't have caught him.

And you look THRILLED about it.

Personally, Mr. Lewis, I've always been partial to long, silver hair! :wink: Tell Marilyn I think you ought to grow it!!!!!!! :D (I also like beards and moustaches as long as they are neatly trimmed and food doesn't live in there!)

I used to work in a bar for an Old German guy who grew a moustache and when his wife started to give hem heck about it he just cut off one side of his moustache and came in to work like that. When some one asked about it he said" Shirley didn't like it so I cut her half off" :lol: :lol:
