The Come-Over Lives On...

[AllardChardon]

Someone Tagged me a while back and I get an array of men wanting to get to know me better. This has been a huge source of entertainment and sheer laughter for me. Today's fare, a very bald older man with a really bad Come-Over. Really, this is 2009!

Johnny Carson did it well, and Gene Wilder, too. Let's not forget Bill Murray's Come-Over in "King Pin". But, I thought men these days knew better. I guess not.

Anyone want to share a favorite Come-Over story?

Do you mean comb-over...long strands of hair over a bald pate?

The best thing about them is when the wind blows.

 

[AllardChardon]

Yes, indeed I do mean that patch of hair combed over a man's bald head. I mean what is so bad about bald men, anyway. They usually have very hairy chests that more than make up for what is not on top. I think bald men are attractive.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

I've never used a comb-over. When my hair got to thin to bother combing, I just gave it a buzz cut. Oddly, that makes it look like I have more hair. Go figure.

"King Pin" is one of the best movies in the history of cinema. Woody Harrelson doing the old broad was priceless, especially when he had to go puke afterwards.

I'm surprised Donald Trump didn't make your list of bad comb-overs. Does he have any idea what an idiot he looks like? I guess when you surround yourself with yes-men you never know.

 

[AllardChardon]

Yes, Donald leads the pack on Bad Comb-Overs, but I thought everyone knew that already. I like the part in King Pin where Bill Murray's Comb-Over looks like its ready for takeoff. Priceless.

That alone is worth the price of a dvd rental. There aren't many actors who would have the guts to do a scene like that.

 

[AllardChardon]

And I bet even Donald Trump's Come-Over has gone a fluttering in the wind. Or maybe he glues his down.

True. Comb-overs look weird. I think so. But I'm also losing my hair and learning that the only alternative to comb-overs is shaving or a buzz cut. The hair simply wants to be combed-over. I suppose I could walk around with bed-hair.

Go with a Wahl, use number 2, 3 or 4 attachments. It'll set you free.

 

[AllardChardon]

Definitely hair clippers at home with attachments saves on professional hair cuts and looks great. I have been using one on my ex and my two sons who keep their hair short for years. Saves enough money to keep me in Guiness!

This is my problem. Maybe I could braid it.

 

[AllardChardon]

Or a long ponytail down your back could be cool.

I had that for a couple of years. It looked really dumb! Go for the buzz.

 

[AllardChardon]

Yes, few men can pull that one off gracefully.

But you look so harry in your picture. You hide your baldness well.

Why do you think I wear a hat? http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii177/1volupturary_manque/lol.gif

I guess I was too busy staring at your ummm big Nose to notice the hat. LMAO

Kingpin is one of the all-time guaran-damn-tied drolleries. Fargo and Dr. Strangelove (Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb) are the only others that can be placed in the same class. In Kingpin, Harrelson, Quaid, Murray, Angel, Fanaro, Nathan and the Farrelly brothers outdid themselves. Everytime I see it, I find myself saying, "This is more fun than..."

All three films are two hour tour de forces of sheer farcical genius.

ESPN Announcer: So Roy, where have you been for the last fifteen years?
Roy: Well, I uh, well, ya see, I uh... Drinking. Lot a drinking.
ESPN Announcer: I see. Well, are you still drinking?
Roy: No. I uh... I put... uh... Why, you buying?

---------------------------------------------------------------
Ishmael: You been drinking, Mr. Munson?
Roy: I don't puke when I drink. I puke when I don't.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Boorg: How many children do you have?
Roy: None that I know of. I mean, I'm unable to have children. Nasty cheese grating accident as a boy.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Roy: Hey, I hope you don't mind, I got up a little early, so I took the liberty of milking your cow for you. Yeah, it took a little while to get her warmed up, she sure is a stubborn one, whew.
[Takes a drink from the bucket]
Mr. Boorg: We don't have a cow. We have a bull.
Roy: I'm gonna brush my teeth.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Roy: Just because you're familiar with the missionary position doesn't make you a missionary.
Claudia: Look, Mr. Munster, you're not exactly the smartest guy I ever ran across.
Roy: Oh yeah? And who are you, Alfred Einstein?

---------------------------------------------------------------
[refering to Roy's hook for a hand]
Claudia: It must be hard to spank your monkey.
Ishmael: You have a monkey?

--------------------------------------------------------------
Roy: Thomas can raise a barn, but can he pick up a 7-10 split?
Ishmael: God blessed my brother to be a good carpenter. It's okay.
Roy: Yeah, well he blessed you, too, and I'll give you a hint what it is. It's round, has three holes, and you put your fingers into it.
Ishmael: You leave Rebecca out of this.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Ernie McCracken: It's a small world when you've got unbelievable tits Roy.

I think this is a great take on the comb-over:

Hamlet Cigars Advert

I have a bald patch. My cake-on-head is an effective bald-spot cover.

When not wearing the cake-on-head I just accept that I have a bald patch that most people can't see unless they are over six feet tall or I'm sitting and they are standing.

At my age, I don't care whether I have a bald patch or not.

[AllardChardon]

Oh Ogg, I laughed until I cried. I want to move to England for your wonderful sense of humor. Long live the British, my favortie comedians!

And I agree, Trysail, King Pin, Fargo and Dr. Strangelove are in my top ten favorites along with The Big Lebowski. DUDE!
