h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The eyebrow suggestion is revolting.

No, it's not important. I'm just pointing out the interesting side-effects of the web.

I'm far from bald, actually, or even going bald. I may predate calendars, but I still have my hair. Haven't tried dying it yet, though.

Oh cheap shot - it's not my fault a. I am going prematurely grey b. I am super vain.

I quite liked the eyebrow thing - could be an interesting development of facial hair fashions?

The eyebrow thing? Fashionable? Eee-GAD! I would hope not! Blah! Oh, it makes me just shudder. Ick.

Ah, but when they are all the rage and you are combing your eyebrow up to meet your full and luxurious fringe I shall remind you of these words - and then who'd be laughing?

Everyone would be laughing. At me.

Cripes, I'd look like a freak! This day will never come and if I'm wrong I'll eat my own eyebrow.

Well, another attractive image there, Mr. Redford

That was a figment of mine own speech, whereas you're talking about some horrific fashion revolution.

I think the facial hair revolution (or revulsion) will not be for a while though - these facial stick-in-the-muds who don't see excessive eyebrow growth as attractive You never can tell though - I mean sideburns! handle-bar moustaches! big fuzzy beards! goatees! - you can't say that facial hair fashions have always been attractive and sensible

Can you imagine a combination of handle-bar moustache and eyebrow/fringe?

I am reviled.

So you have 'attractive' facial hair already - or did you not mean to use 'reviled'?

Have you tried waxing?

In an ironic twist to this conversation, the only facial hair I keep around is my eyebrows.

No, I meant to use 'reviled'. It was the thought of 'handle-bar eyebrows' that did it.

Then I don't think you meant to use 'reviled' - revolted perhaps, but reviled? it doesn't seem to make any sense.... (sorry)
