There is going to be a time in your life where you really don't care about the hair on your back. Given the inevitablity of it, why not stop caring now?

I'm just afraid that those patches are the opening vanguard for an all-out assault, bent on turning me into my father, a man so hairy that I was convinced, as a child, that he was actually a werewolf. As that annoying guy on that show I hated as a kid would say, we've got to NIP IT in the BUD!

Digression: when I was a small child, I always thought this expression was actually "nip it in the butt." It took me until an embarrassing incident in fifth grade to learn otherwise.

Wow, this is brilliant advice about such a large number of things.  But probably impossible to execute.

That back hair seems like no big deal to me also.  Why make a big production now because it might be different later?  By the time you turn into your werewolf-father maybe they'll have invented less primitive ways to remove it.

Fifth grade?  That's nothing!  You can't even really call that embarrassing anymore.

There was a show on This American Life with a segment (the first one) about this phenomenon.  These people didn't find out until well into their adulthood.

This has happened to me many times.  The best stories have to do with Fugazi lyrics.

cultivate the back hair,
for sooner than you'd wish
it can be used as farmland
for transplantations elsewhere.


so,
um,
how much for an hectare?

Dude. Seriously, dude.

I had to strain to find your back hair 'problem'.

That little wispy shit? Get real. I got hairs growing from my ears lusher than that. I have to trim nose hairs that I could STAB you with.

Keep that hair there - it will eventually work really well on your scalp when you get to that point in your life. Or you could donate it to Ark since he seems to want it.

remember when you joked that AW's haircut made him look like a hippy compared to mine?

i don't cut my hair short because i like it,
i just learned to live with reality.

if little dude don't want his back hair,
i will gratefully allow it to be transplanted onto my head.

there, i've said it, and _i_ _feel_ _better_.

I do remember that!

But I was really referring to your question about the cost of a hectare.

I'll be fashioning my trimmed nosehairs into olive spears if anyone wants a unique accesory for their holiday Hors d'oeuvres.

My dad used to use this arguement against doing all sorts of things - why bother cleaning up, it'll just end up messy again?  Why mow the grass when it's just going to keep growing?  Etc.   In the end I got him.  He had one of his "why bother, it's just going to go back to the way it was" arguments and I countered with "why bother eating, you're just going to get hungry again, right?"  You can't just give up - fighting the inevitable decay and devolution of our bodies into hairy fleshy piles is only natural.  I am pro brushing your teeth, shampooing your hair, and all other grooming.  

Bozack - should you remove your back hair?  I still say yes.  If anything else it gives you license to push your SO to maintain arm and leg shavedness.  It's a delicate balance.

I don't know about that, but you might be able to glue them to perpendicular surface in a parallel fashion and make the world's most disgusting comb.

If you PM me your mailing address, and I actually do go get it waxed, I will obtain the strips and mail them to you.

Quite different. He's not going to have a time when he looks back and chuckles that he liked to eat and brush his teeth (not both at once). Odds are that he will look back and chuckle that he wanted to wax his back. Old people, in my experience, are generally well groomed. Grooming is not a habit someone loses with age, typically. Certain types of grooming (waxing, etc.) eventually lose their appeal because they really are pretty silly and don't stand up to the pain in the ass/benefit ratio especially when the benefits decrease with age.

Man, I am all for fighting entropy, but hair growing on the back is not a symptom of the universe falling apart. It's a symptom of being a primate. Such is life.

I mean, if it gets to werewolf level, sure, take whatever actions you deem necessary. But that is not werewolfery.
