Bowlheads group

[Jim Garber]

I am not srue why we need this, since we seem to have it here anyway, but for kicks, I set up the social group Bowlheads Unanimous (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/group.php?groupid=30) and invited everyone I could think of. if I left you out please do not be insulted.

Do I have to get a new haircut to join?

[journeybear]

Well, if you want to be a real bowlhead, you do! :)

Just wondering about your avatar, Jim. I notice that is the same Spock-like grip Jethro Burns is using in the picture of him that also includes a couple of Café members at theJethro Burns workshop 1983 thread (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50409) - coincidence or design? Was that typical thing for him to do? I've never seen this anywhere else ... :confused:

BTW, thanks for the invite, but since I no longer have a bowlback, I politely decline your kind offer. :)

[Plamen Ivanov]

I'm not sure why we need this either, but i'm in. And i already have the appropriate haircut! :)

[billkilpatrick]

i'm in ... affinity between the top of my head and a lustrously smooo-oooth bowlback is, frankly, undeniable.

apropos ... frivolous, i know but i've been looking for a bowlback lapel pin for some time - haven't seen one i like. if any of you bowl bro's come across one, please let me know.

I'm in, although I'm not sure I make the ~folicular~ cut (thanks to my dad's genes, who, at age 80, sports a full, white mane that many 40-yr-olds would find hard to sustain). But, as regards what's INSIDE my head, OK... "guilty as charged". ;)

Cheers,

Victor

I asked to join. I'm not sure the rest of you want to be in a group that would have me... or something like that.

you quote h.l. menken in your signature ... you've just made a reference to groucho marx ... all good stuff - plus you'll raise the level of hirsuteness (still green?) all around.

[vkioulaphides]

Oh, Bill, you bring back such memories! The last time I recall hearing/reading the attribute of hirsuteness was the 70s...

Let us not, however, rush to direct our creative tech folks to invent that ever-so-useful, Hirsute Emoticon :)) but henceforth rest satisfied in our mutual understanding that the Bowlhead honorific is metaphorical.

So, Jim... what might be, as it were, the "Mission Statement" of this social network/group?

Victor, cradle-Bowlhead

[billkilpatrick]

membership has had an immediate and positive effect on me ... i've just dredged my bowlback out of the closet!

... sounds good!

[Fliss]

Thanks for the invitation, I'm in, even though I no longer possess the qualification to be an official member of the Loyal Order of the Bowl, I still think fondly of my former bowlbacks :)
