Hi Sean,
In answer to your question in your first post here, below, here is my reply:
I drink like a fish, do drugs like a chemist, but am "strait" as a hardcore machismo womanizer just released from solitary confinement (LOL, and if you believe any of what I just said, then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you, called "The Golden Gate!")
All kidding aside, the exact reverse of my above wacky statement about myself is the real truth:
1) although occasionally I've has a small glass of wine (usually a half-glass or less), I've never been drunk in my entire life
2) other than prescription drugs, the only "recreational drug" I've ever tried was one puff from one joint during my brother's 50th birthday party -- that was my gift to him, since he was going through a nostalgic stage over his drug-using college days... I am so annoyingly drug-free, in fact, that I hadn't ever even taken so much as an asprin until my mid-30s (because I was raised a Christian Scientist)!
3) I am NOT a womanizer (an understatement!), although I've been known to make some women swoon over my dancing abilities, especially as a Salsa or Swing partner; but I stay clothed & vertical there (LOL).... But, "strait" I am not -- as boy George once said, "I'm as queer as a cucumber!" (Although, thank goodness, I'm not as flamboyant as one - LOL.)
In a nut-shell: Long hair has nothing to do with drinking, drug use, or one's sexuality (most gay men are extremely short-haired, for example -- and I aught to know, as I live in the gayest city in the USA - lol!)... So, just be YOURSELF, grow your hair to whatever length you'd like, and then just sit back and have a good laugh every time some idiot tries to stereotype you -- it's all part of the fun of becoming a longhair!

Cucumbers are good.
Flamboyant is good.
But *flamboyant cucumbers*?!?! That is where I draw the line!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OMGosh, Ken and Mark and I ought to have our own show on the Comedy Channel! You guys crack me up. :)
Hi Laura,
No worries about flamboyant cucumbers, as I've learned the perfect solution to keep them in line and behaving themselves more appropriately. All I have to do is to threaten to turn them into Gazpacho, and trust me, they shut up and "straiten" out almost immediately afterwards!

I on the other hand did lots of drinking in college, usually
151 rum and coke. And i also ran alot of the beer bashes at
college.
I on the other hand only used marijuana a few times in the 70s
but never anything harder.
I've also been happily married to my wife for 24 years now.
No kids, but we have two cats.
Yep, that's the interesting thing about us longhairs -- we're all different on the inside, while yet also having the courage to grow our hair out and be obviously "different" from society's norm on the outside!
