“Lady, could you move your head a bit, I can’t see out the back…Lower…Lower” “I’m a walking candy apple!” I love this Seinfeld ep and bring it up whenever my friend makes fun of my big head. We measured and his head is actually 1/8 inch bigger; it’s just that I have short thick hair. But my head is in proportion to my XXXL body. 😉 ---

All of you should consider yourself lucky. Even the XXXL sizes do not fit my noggin here. I have only had luck once in finding a hat (a great grey fedora) that fits, and that was 20 years ago. My search will go on… 🙂 ---

I knew a little girl that bought everyone in our family presents from a school sale, where little kids can by cheep. It was sweet that she got the presents, but I received a knit hat. The think wouldn’t have fit anybody past second grade. I’m just glad she didn’t ask why I didn’t wear it. ---

Wow, only on the Dope would you find a Giant Noggin Support Group. Must be all these oversized brains… 😃 ---

> [@Cluricaun](#): > > Wow, only on the Dope would you find a Giant Noggin Support Group. Must be all these oversized brains… 😃 Slight hijack, but people look at me oddly when I say I have never had a headache in my life (other than that incident with a sno-cone in my youth). It is true - never had a headache, not even had a hangover, though lordknows I have deserved quite a few. Wondered if there is a correlation between us large cranium folk and (lack of) headaches… ---

> [@NurseCarmen](#): > > Sorry about the assumption I made earlier, I thought you knew that it was okay to list this type of thing, so I thought it odd that you left it out. I won’t make the same mistake again. It’s cool, I can see why it would be odd. I’m just a careful forum user. I follow the “ask permission not forgiveness” rule and so that tends to keep me well within the rules. We’re cool dude 🙂 No hard feelings. ---

I try to hold off on painkiller until it’s necessary and I usually succeed, so most of them are fairly mild. ---

> [@ronincyberpunk](#): > > I get headaches, not frequently but they do happen. I try to hold off on painkiller until it’s necessary and I usually succeed, so most of them are fairly mild. I get bad muscle tension headaches from time to time, especially when work gets really stressful. ---

Wondered if there is a correlation between us large cranium folk and (lack of) headaches… Yay, I get to be a counter-example! Head? Huge. Headaches? Practically constant, since I was around 10. ---

Oy headaches. Yes I get them too. Bigtime. Especially now around the allergy season. I feel like I have a bad hangover all of the time… ---
