I love you and all of your ear hair(s).

Walmart Model is my new band name.

Put me on the list for your first vinyl run and/or sign me up to audition for your song lyricist. I'm all in.

I bet your photo did wonders for Walmart's ear products.

They wouldn't share the financials with me, but you're probably right.

This was such fun. I thought I was the vain one! Amazing how we think everyone is looking at us and summing us up, isn't it? This is why I must go to the pub at least once a week and have two drinks to take me out of my "I" zone.

Vanity is a double-edged sword for me. On one hand, it reduces me to shallow thoughts and thin feelings; on the other, it keeps me from, ya know, heart disease, Et al.

Another gem. I especially like "married to a bucket of smashed crabs."

I call 'em like I see 'em.

First of all, I think you’re definitely model material - Costco or even Target level model material.

Second, my husband (who I shall not publicly name) has me regularly pluck his ear hairs. I agree with Other Norm that the ear hairs only multiply with age. But in contrast to your Intrusive Thoughts, I find tweezing his ear hairs to be meditatively calming, highly satisfying, and found a personal sense of pride in that it is my job (and honor) to keep his ears freshly plucked and presentable.

So don’t go all Van Gogh and cut off your ear to spite your hair - you’d ruin that perfect Target model symmetry!

1. I think my wife agrees with your comment about meditative calm and ear hair tweezing.

2. Women are weird.

3. But I love them, particularly you and my wife. Though differently.

4. This list is getting away from me...

Weird is one of the best things to be. <3 Thanks for the compliment. xxx

You might have the ear hair, but guys have better eyelashes and their eyebrows don't disappear (maybe they get a bit bushy)

Fair points.

You have me laughing again. Very good and Norm you have always been a handsome guy. Best regards Minerva

Well, Norm, I can tell you from personal experience, the ear hair thing will only continue to get worse as you get older. If I do not do regular ear maintenance, I look like I have a set of furry earbuds in my ears.

I'm trying to imagine the evolutionary reason for such a debacle. All I can come up with is that we must get fed up with hearing bullshit so our ears are trying to help out by muffling the noise.

Could be. We’ll know for sure, if MAGAs start looking like they’re wearing earmuffs.
