I look like a damn pirate.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I got a cut over my left eye today. I’m wearing an eyepatch to keep the cut off of the atmosphere.

I look like a friggin’ pirate.

Fer real! It’s black. And it wraps around my forehead. And I have hair down past my shoulders–and an unshaven stubble on my face.

I feel like I should be plundering or pillaging or something. Raiding villages and making off with the women. (Or the weaker, more feminine men they’ve been using as women.)

Has anyone else out there ever taken a good look in the mirror–and realized you looked like a pirate? Or some other negative dreg of society?

Arrrrr, me hearties!

I wore a patch briefly a few months ago when I was having eye problems. Quickly, I decided to simply close the affected eye instead.

makes your Hallowe’en costume much easire though…

Just buy yourself a Hathaway shirt and you’ll be mistaken for a hunky advertising icon, not a plunderer and pillager. Or are you too young to have any idea what the hell I’m talking about?

Hey, have you heard about the new pirate movie that’s coming out?

Have you considered a career in Soap Opera Acting?

That’s it, Lux. Walk the plank.

For awhile I wore a goatee (well, a VanDyke, for you anal-retentives) and had a shaved head. With fairly angular features and relatively piercing eyes, it made me look even more evil that I usually do. Then I went (still “clean”) with a moustache and a soul patch. Still looked evil.

Finally grew my hair out because I got tired of frightening people with my looks. I wanted to wait and do it with my personality.

I might be too young. :slight_smile: But more likely–it’s just because I don’t watch TV. I miss out on a lot of advertisements that way.

I have the patch off today! It’s a little sensitive to the elements, but I find it to be a pleasant exchange.

I stopped watching TV about 2 years ago and haven’t regretted it at all. I still play a lot of video games, though.

I’m thinking of keeping the eyepatch for Holloween. (Thanks fer the idea, Cmmdr. Fortune!)

Ash, not watching tv in the past 2 years has nothing to do with it.

In the 50’s (maybe even earlier – I’m not old enough to know myself) Hathaway Shirts’ version of the “Marlboro Man” in print ads was a studly guy wearing a crisp-pressed dress shirt – admittedly, not the most distinctive of garments. What set him, and Hathaway, apart from the crowd was the unforgettable black eye patch the guy wore. It became the brand’s signature icon.

So? My dad looks like a terrorist.

I was told I looked somewhat frightening in a sense - I have a trench coat type raincoat, and photosensitive glasses. If I went to a day wedding or the like, the glasses go dark, I’m wearing the coat, and I’m told all I need to look like the Secret Service agents is the earpiece…(among other things, they do security for the US president)
