Yep his name is Jesse James, no joke. His first and middle name anyway.
He is my niece's husband, also a friend of mine. He decided to grow his hair out, partly my influence.
He's said he's too 'computer lazy' to post so I asked him if he'd mind. My niece is obviously a longhair male fan, she is very happy about this.
He's also one of my medieval fight club buddies.
I've influenced several others, directly or indirectly, to grow out their hair. I guess I just a positive role model... what can I say?
Paul
Hi Paul,
Thanks for sharing that with us and glad your impsiring other people like Jesse. Tell him so far he's coming along great and of course to keep it growing.
Cheers,
John.B
Yeah man, you certainly are a good role model. He looks good with the long hair.
Take care,
Chris
Cool to see new longhairs among us especially to replace the ones who have fallen to the shears.You like to see our numbers go up but sometimes it seems we are running in neutral.Anyway great work Paul on recruiting more longhairs.The more the merrier:)
Mark
Picturing longhaired men in gambesons, jerkins, surcoats, chainmail, vambraces, etc, etc, etc. The pics Paul hasn't posted... ☺
Lol, hey Carol.
The SCA dresses in all that and I may join soon. JSFrodo's can tell you about it. It's so cool.
Mine is just oak swords and helmets in the backyard beating the crap out of each other. We do pull out punches but there has been a couple of concussions. No hospital visits yet.
I once split another friend's ear. It's ok though, he's blooded my forehead twice and sent me to work limping once, woohoo! Nate's quick as lighting and you really have to be on your toes. As of yet he has not grown his hair although he made one attempt and failed.
I only had one friend with longhair in our little group. Haven't seen him in about 3 or 4 years.
I tell anyone who shows an interest not to come if they can't take it without getting mad. I've been doing this for 23 years and if they start swinging wild, they're going down.
And yes, I am more than willing to spar with girls and they have hit me.
Thanks for you interest in this Carol!

And to think my brother and I used to chunk rocks at each other after he wiped my but with wrestling. Dad would get upset with us abusing his crop (rocks) like that.
Daniel
Yep, hard heads ain't good for rocks are they? lol
Dude, we have to go out drinking sometime!
Paul
I've seen many of rocks break over my brothers head. LOL
I may take you up on that offer. I'll let you know if I head your direction sometime (which is extremely rarely but one never knows) I generally run (drive my truck) between Missouri and the northeast.

Hi Paul, we have this here in Berkeley. The combatants use padded weapons so injuries are minimized. They even have archers. The arrows have a baseball sized soft pad on the tip. The people in this club have all of the fun with a lot less pain. There may be a similar club in your area. Look into it, a concussion can cause permanent brain damage.
Scott
Thanks Scott, we used to use padded weapons but the guys that were coming down at that time were pretty hard core about "feeling the pain".
I love the pic and am checking out the web site.
Paul
We even named a city (small town really) after him.
But on topic it's great that your rubbing off on your kin and friends. Unfortunately, I can't say the same. (well, I might be with my 13yo son at the displeasure of his mother to which I say "hell yeah")
Daniel
I always liked Jesse James myself, only robbing Yankees and all. lol. My friend though is a Yankee, New York State.
I'm assuming your talking about your ex? Ain't nothing like messing with the ex's is there?
Paul
Yeah, she's an ex. I mess with her every chance I get. lol
Daniel
Hey Paul,
Tell your niece's husband that being "computer lazy" is more of a good thing than bad, --- that means he's too busy living real life, I'd say!
The first 50 years of my life I didn't own a computer, nor knew one iota of how to even opperate one. I also went through a period of my life during my mid - late 30s when I decided not to even own a TV set.... Those were literally the happiest years of my life, --- because I was in fantastic physical shape, went out dancing and/or taking classes every night, and to this day met most of my closest friends during that era.
Now I have not only a large TV; but, also Cable, Tivo, DVDs, VCRs, this computer that I'm typing from, a cell phone that I have a love/hate relationship with (ESPECIALLY the "hate" part)... and all the high $$$ bills that go along with it!
AND.... I keep getting fatter and physically lazier with every passing year!
Tell him that computers, as fun as they can be sometimes, can also become like a disease or addiction that needs a new 12-step program "intervention" of some kind (LOL)....
LOL, I love it, --- just keep on being that positive role model, then!
- Ken in SF
My sentiments exactly. Although MLHH is a great board and I've made many connections worldwide via many sites that I wouldn't have otherwise. I curse the day I bought my first computer and every one since. Lucky for me I guess is that I still can't stand the sight of a blasted TV. LOL
