Come onnn. Is that a rug or what?

Everybody in my family thinks I’m crazy! I say that thing is phonier than a three-dollar bill. Weekend news-watching Dopers: what say you?  
I’m looking at it right now.

It’s watching me.

I’ve angered it.

I don’t think so. He has very curly hair. When he was a local anchor in Nashville, I remember his hair as a barely controlled mop. When he was on location in NO last week, he had a curly version of a crewcut. Maybe curly crewcuts don’t grow out so good.

A guy _that_ good-looking could be wearing a nauseated wombat on his head and still look hot.

Meh, I’m not convinced. All the symptoms are there. High hairline. Too-perfectly coiffed coiff. If it \*isn’t \* a piece? He oughta really mess that bitch up. 😛

My sister’s boyfriend has _really_ curly hair, and unless he keeps it less than half an inch long, it goes crazy. When it goes longer than that, it looks remarkably like Siegenthaler’s, down to the hairline and everything. He just uses some gel in it and it looks perfectly coiffed. His hair just kind of sits there on top of his head.
