Sqrl is not afraid to be bald (had a shaved head at one time) or have bad hair (had a sponge head, two different mohawks one of which was over 18" long…it took forever to stand up, hair down to the middle of my ass, spraypainted hair to keep up the mohawk, dread locks, corn silk rows, hair that looked like a giant dandelion, hair style of all different lengths, hair shaved in almost every direction, etc.). I have done almost everything to my hair. +50 fashion points. +1,000,000 fashion points if by having bad hair it become trendy. Next poster must start a new thread and entitle, Play the New Game in MPSIMS. HUGS! Sqrl * * * [SqrlCub’s Arizona Adventure](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/005351.html) ---

I think we should climb the mountain… “Why?” you ask. Well, what else is there to do? Climb the mountain, 31 points. Stay on the beach and sharpen a stick at both ends: 1,666 points.
