I will show you terror in a handful of hair. I don’t think **Johnny** misspelled “ming”. I’m assuming he really does mean [minge](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=minge)face. ---

Without any more to go on I’d think he was just trying to have some trivial office discussion. Was there evidence not presented that he is unhappy with his balding, is growing facial hair to compensate, etc. ---

> [@Ambivalid](#): > > Secure enough? Please. I think some men just don’t like the look of a balding head. I shave my fully-growing hair now because I like it, so I’m fairly certain I’d continue to do so if I ever started to lose any of it. This. Going bald and doing a comb over are nowhere near the same thing. By that logic, choosing to wear stylish clothing over a burlap sack would also be a form of “insecurity”. ---

Mingey was Oprah’s vagina, Gary was her anus. They seemed to be sentient beings, with Mingey even holding a gun at the end of “A Million Little Fibers”.” :eek: I would google a picture of Mingey but I’m at work. This is very, very strange. ---
