When I was bald last summer from chemo I actually stopped wearing earrings because with the bandanna it was just too piratey for me. I wanted to lurch when I walked and squint a lot. And the only bird I had was a wimpy peach-faced lovebird. 😛 ---

Whatever floats your boat. It’s your body. Sounds like she fantasizes about a rebel without a cause. If you think you’ll worsen your looks then you’ll have to weigh that against gettin some. ---

Yeah, do it. Maybe add a few good quality temporary tatoos as well. ---

Dude, I’ve shaved my head and had my ears pierced and there was nothing else in the bargan besides low grooming times and shiney baubles in my ears. So why not get laid for somethings lots of the rest of us have done anyway? That’s like getting something for nothing! ---

Before you go for the shave-and-pierce, put a dab of Mr. Clean behind each ear. She’ll let you know if she’s hot for a slick pate and earring, or just for Mr. Clean. 😛 ---

Another vote for “Do it!” My dad had his ear pierced at the age of 60 (he’s now 73) and I thought that was one of the coolest things ever. I’ll really be looking forward to your pictures after the deed is done. Good luck!! ---

[QUOTE=LouisB] You know, I told her I wanted an eye patch and a parrot; I even suggested a hook to replace my right hand and a peg leg. [/QUOTE] Make sure it is a NUMBER TEN DORRANCE STEEL HOOK! Regards, Shodan ---

If you really want to impress her wear the hook in your ear. ---
