superhero-stylin'

in order to continue with today's edition of butlerman comics, we have to drop a hint on his alter ego. -whispers-he plays rugby-whispers-

its in such adverse weather conditions playing an exhausting game that you realise that you've gone half addled through countless batterings and notice the strangest things. in one of today's moments of attaining a higher conscience (and nearly dying along the way) that i realise - people have the strangest of haircuts.

though i barely even completed half-a-half as the coach pulled me out due to an ongoing injury problem and wanted to give me a run-out (flex flex, so professional!), i noticed from the game before and the current one that rugby players, or singaporeans as a whole, have strange hairstyles.

while i sport a seemingly-innocent spike with natural hair coloring intact, i cannot vouch the same for some i encountered. one of them, a chinese mix (i can't tell with what, but he wasn't pure chinese) had a wild long hairdo that puts p.o.d.'s lead singer Sonny, or for that matter, shaggy from scooby doo to shame.

another, a tall indian, an ex-acsi player, had a respectable short crew cut with a less respectable ancient-chinese-pugilist-like 'tail' of hair hanging from the middle of his head. but to their credit, both had similarly exotic attitudes to match their hairstyles and were reasonably comical figures.

others had a variety of orange locks flowing to shoulder length that wouldn't look out of place in a drag queen fashion show, and an arsenal of coloured spikes waxed (and probably sharpened at knifepoint) to the point you could skewer someone on it.

butlerman understands a lil vanity here and there goes a long way in both mating and man-to-man challenges. even the Celts waxed their hair in order to look threatening (not to confuse with Celtic football-crazed supporters, who are bald, otherwise bodily-hairy threatening drunks). batman might not have the best of hairdo's (esp. in clooney's case) but at least he had a nice pair of horns on his mask to make up, and robin had an average crew cut, but nobody cares about him anyway. superman had his well-laquered armani style with that lil curl at the forehead to symbolise his superiority. thankfully women don't have as bad a problem as guys do (so i think - well its either short or long, both can look good), or i'll be here all day.

until next time - adios
