Iā€™ve got one of those ā€œtrailsā€. One of my old girlfriends used to call it ā€œthe ropeā€. ---

Is no one going to mention the Butthole Surfers song ā€œHairway to Stevenā€? (Say it out loud; itā€™s a spoonerism.) I have a wicked hairway to Steven (with a different name for Steven, _ahem_), but no chest hair at all. Well, about once a year Iā€™ll get a chest hair, but after a few weeks I pull it out. Last year I got one and I left it totally alone, thinking maybe Iā€™d become like a Yeti if I left it, but after a couple weeks I guess it fell out on its own. Some of us are just born for SPF 2000 I guess. Oddly, I have a patch of dark, curly hair (i.e., body hair) on the back of my right hip, but thatā€™s another story. ---

So I suppose a treasure trial that starts below the neck and spreads down to the toes is right out? Sigh. At least there are people in Brisbane that appreciate a body like mineā€¦ ---

> [@](#): > > Does anyone out there like hairy, pale, skinny geeks? **raises hands** Yes, I do like me some treasure trails. Iā€™ve got one. Iā€™ve got a - well, not a gut, but a bulge, sort of, which sort of removes the sexiness benefit. Also, being Scottish, itā€™s very diffuse and covers basically everything below the navel. Oh well. ---

My man has a furry belly, and likes having it stroked. The nice thing with hair is that you can stroke it so lightly that you donā€™t actually touch the skin. He also has the deepest belly button Iā€™ve ever seen. Itā€™s almost an inch deep. If I stick my thumb in it, he goes all zonked out. Itā€™s somewhat like the reset button on a computer. I wasnā€™t much into hair before this man. I like the look of it now. Hairy arms on a lady are rather attractive, too, in my opinion. ---

Oh yeah- **thinkā€™s** a serious babe. My SO doesnā€™t have a six-pack, heā€™s got a bit of a belly, but I love that little happy trail- Aw hell- I love everything between his skull and toes. ---

Hey- thinksnow buddyā€¦ You sport a serious resemblence to that WTC tourist guy. šŸ˜‰ Oh yeah, Iā€™ve got a treasure trail, too. But its a little more like a 8 lane freeway as opposed to trail. [sub]well, at least I donā€™t have a hairy backā€¦[/sub] ---

Mrs. RickJay refers to it as the ā€œHappy Trail.ā€ So we seem to have some disagreement as to the appropriate nomenclature. ---
