Rumours of my upcoming career change...

Category

Bruce was kind enough to post about the rumour of my career change to become a Blueman.  My brother and I had our audition this weekend, just kidding, this is the actual story.  On wednesday my eldest niece turned 18 (yes it makes me feel old), on Saturday she had a fancy dress party (costume party is translation for Americans), I had told everyone except my brother and his wife that I could not make it.  So my brother and I started planning our costume.  We decided that we would go as Bluemen from the Blueman show (a great show that must be seen by the way).  I got us matching outfits, blue makeup, bald caps, matching shoes, the works.  Unfortunately my head is humongous and there was no way the bald cap would stay on my head.  So I took the decision that I would go whole hog and shave my head, I figured I haven't been bald before and something should grow back before Lotusphere.

So here you go, the video of my brother shaving my head, and photos of the results...

Shame on you for frightening little children. Hmmm...I do think this could be your style at LS09 ...just use Yellow instead of blue.

And remember: bald is sexy. Just ask any bald man, and we'll agree.

Gravatar Image2 - you are DEDICATED ! - and I agree with @1 - you should make this your LS09 style ... shame I will miss it. This would be worth the price of admission !

Gravatar Image3 - Priceless!

Gravatar Image4 - Carl,

this is great !! The things we do for our families !! I'm just glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I watched the video because I would have spilled it all over myself.

cheers,

Neil

Gravatar Image5 - Carl,

As i mentioned it already on Bruce his blog. This would definetly attract all attention to you instead of Bob !!!! Emoticon

And yes Yellow would be cool !!

Gravatar Image6 - I'll do a deal with you, if you guys raise $3000 for charity I'll shave my head again and do Gurupalooza as a Blueman. Emoticon

Gravatar Image7 - Thats what I call commitment - but it's still mad! I always knew when I saw you tipping 2 cans of beer [wasn't me Emoticon] down that chug funnel into your brothers mouth at the party in Windsor, that one day his revenge would be so sweet - and there it is on video.

I hope it grows back!

Gravatar Image8 - Carl, you asked for it, now you have it.

If everyone gives to the great cause, we get to see Carl blue and happy.

So let's get to giving to the charity!

Gravatar Image9 - Haha, that is great

Gravatar Image10 - I might want to donate to have Carl NOT do it again .... he could incite a riot with that look!
Seriously - great fun, and congrats to the niece's 18th!

Gravatar Image11 - You are too much. I hope Bethany was surprised after all that. Are you thinking of keeping the look? Emoticon

Gravatar Image12 - No risk of me keeping it whatsoever.

Gravatar Image13 - that is really stupid on what you did to the pour baby

Gravatar Image14 - @13 Don't worry Justify, the "poor" baby was crying over something else, it just made for a great picture.

Gravatar Image15 - ha ha ha!!
