Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
I have some clippers that I got for beard trimming that I'm going to take to my hair this weekend. It's something I figured I was a couple more years of thinning away from anyway, might as well start now.

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
Going to have to cut the front of my sons hair. It's covering his eyes and he is getting annoyed flipping his hair. I've been telling him to wait for my wife, because I know I'll butcher it, but she is only home on the weekends, and constantly getting calls or emergency assignments, and hasn't been able to squeeze in a haircut.Johnny Carwash wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 12:59 pm So has anyone taken the plunge yet and tried cutting their own hair (besides those who already shave/buzz it regularly)? Considering it, but not sure how it would turn out.

AS the former owner of this haircut, I'll just ride the wave for as long as it goes.

Yesterday would have been my haircut day (every 5 weeks as well). So now it's the unknown.

I will probably just shave my head before too long using my small clippers.

I'm about two weeks from looking like these guys - which one depends on whether it's windy.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
I'm another one who got his hair cut right before lockdown, and she cut it shorter than usual so I'm in good shape on the hair. But, I decided to let my beard grow 2 1/2 weeks ago, and now it is at that stage where it is itchy as hell, so I have to decide whether to power through it or just shave it off.

Grind it out. I'm up to about four weeks now and it gets better. I'm making sure to trim the longer hairs that hang over my lips though as those are the most annoying. If you can, get some beard oil also.sancarlos wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 2:24 pm I'm another one who got his hair cut right before lockdown, and she cut it shorter than usual so I'm in good shape on the hair.

A person that works for me does a variation, where even when she's agreeing with your statement, she says "no no no."degenerasian wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 12:58 pm "Yeah, no" is another one.
Why do some people start every sentence with "yeah, no" ?
I told her not to Triple No me in a meeting and it busted the room up. I don't think anyone's every pointed it out to her before.
That's why I'm here, folks.

We took the kids out for soft serve ice cream today. It was my idea and I think we all needed it, especially the kids to get out of the house for something other than a walk or hike.
They have cones set up outside to mark where you are supposed to wait to maintain adequate space and a sign explaining them, which is a bonus.

I trust you went for "most embarrassing" because it wasn't quite racist enough for that top spot.

It was more a comment about not knowing what Chicken Tikka Masala is. Dude lives in Washington DC! He's probably got 10 Indian restaurants within 5 blocks of him.

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
On my commute there was a frigging wild turkey in a residential neighborhood. It looked very confused, but not nearly as surprised as the person who is going to wake up to a wild turkey in their backyard.

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
I saw a video of like 12 to 15 deer roaming through a fairly urban Grand Rapids (MI) neighborhood yesterday. The animals are starting to venture into places they normally would avoid with more human activity.

In one of our numerous threads on here, there were big ass mountain lions in the streets of Boulder.
And that was easily 2 weeks ago.
I've definitely noticed that squirrels are getting a lot more used to humans in my hood.

I cut my own hair for the first time in my life last week. I bought some $40 clippers at the grocery store (I had researched them on Amazon first), and they actually worked pretty well. I made a mess of the bathroom, but actually did a decent job with the cut.

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
Did you just clip everything the same length, or longer on top and then blend together? The blending thing is what I'm worried I'll fuck up and make it look terrible, which is the main thing holding me back so far.

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
I did use a longer cut on top than the sides. Hard to say if I successfully blended - I had little idea what I was doing - but it seemed to work.Johnny Carwash wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 5:36 pm Did you just clip everything the same length, or longer on top and then blend together?

So what's the likelihood of this actually happening after we talk about it, on a scale of "the next Swampcast" to "brian's movie night"?
