I'm shaving off all my hair. Yes, ALL OF IT! And raising money for charity.

My sister and I are raising money for the Leukemia Foundation (an Australian organisation) by taking part in the World's Greatest Shave. The Leukemia Foundation helps fund research into treatments and cures for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders, they also provide support and services to Australian cancer patients and their families during diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.

On Marth 12 we will be shaving off all the hair on our heads, my beard included, and I'd like to ask members of the Head-Fi community to sponsor us or donate some money to a good cause.
You can sponsor us online by going to our team page at http://my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/teambaldeagles. If you'd like to make a donation but don't have a CC for that site, shoot me a PM and I can give you my PayPal details.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully you're all feeling a little generous smily_headphones1.gif

Here's a picture of what we currently look like (I don't normally look quite that crazy...):

All the money raised goes to a great charity.
And wouldn't you donate a bit just to see pictures of a weird looking guy with no hair?

I think the sight of a bald elliot42 may just be more assaulting to the senses than the hirsute one......

 

Shall we take the chance that both eyes have the same maniacal expression...?

 

Will all the dogs bay in mournful somnolent tones as they are assaulted by that vociferous visage....?

 

Will the sight scare the poor little kiddies in the street and cause them to drop their beloved ice-creams into the ground?

 

Will clouds hide the sun as elliot42 walks the streets in an endeavour to hide the sight from one and all....?

 

Will nubile wenches scream in terror and take vows of eternal chastity and become mysogynistic as they view that unsalacious sight.

 

Will the newscasts report the sighting of a hairless yowie roaming the suburban streets and warn concerned citizens to stay indoors...?

 

Will Greenpeace declare elliot42 an endangered species and plead for the gun lobby to stand down....?

 

Stay tuned for the next thrilling action-packed episode in this classic saga that will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with such tales as:-

 

1. The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.

2. Call Of The Wild.

3. The Phantom Of The Opera.

4. It Came from Outer Space.

5. Alien

6. The Picture Of Dorian Grey.

7. Bambi.

8. Godzilla.

9 King Kong.

10. The Teddy Bears' Picnic.

11. Neighbours.

12. So You Think You Can Dance.

13. The 6 O'clock News.

14. The Iron Chef.

Thanks for the comical bump, wink.

Everyone, I'm still looking for donations; we've raised a bit so far but can do better. It's worth just a small donation to see pics of me with no hair, right?

It is my melancholy duty to inform the headfi community that in spite of my recent missive to the contrary, that upon careful and considered consideration of Owen's determination as well as my financial situation plus the outstanding cause this drive supports as well as the fact that the Leukemia Foundation is so strapped for cash in it's ongoing pursuit of caring for those unfortunate persons that find need for their services that they even allowed Owen to take part in this fiscally funded foible, I could not (the stigma of a bald Owen to the contrary) hold off from taking part in this glorious endeavour as I figured that the temporary pseudo-allopeciated Owen would desecrate our sensitive society whether I supported him or not.

I therefore used this follically challenging occasion to do my bit for society in general and the leukemia sufferers in particular.

If Owen can be so generous as to deny his head with it's keratin covering with winter approaching, it encumbered, nay, behoved me to show just a fraction of the generosity that Owen has shown in his partaking of this fund-raising endeavour.

 

When it's all said and done, lets face it - Owen, whether luxuriously hirsute or with a naked noggin is still an affront to society at hand and civilisation at large.

 

I therefore wish to donate a Darth Vader face mask for Owen to wear, as I feel this would be less of a visual challenge to the sensitive children in our great city than the optically challenging alternative.

 

Some kiddies even like Darth Vader.
