The Search for Love in Manhattan

December 06, 2004

E.S. and I had the following conversation the other day after I came back from the gym.

E.S.: I like your hair like that.
Faustus (disgusted): You mean all gross and messed up and with no product in it because I realized after I got out of the shower that I'd forgotten to bring my gel with me?
E.S.: Yes. It's so much better like this than all fake and gooped up with stuff. In fact, I want you to throw all your hair product away. You look great natural, just like you are.
(Pause.)
Faustus: You're not gay. I've suspected it all along, but this confirms it.
E.S.: What about the fact that I have a hard-on for you right now?
Faustus: No, that's less important than caring about hair product. I'm reporting you to the High Council.

Priceless :)

That's so scary. He must be from Oregon. (Trust me, I know... there are plenty of those "nature/natural" folks here).

Hey, stop staring at me. I will continue to use my forming cream, thankyouverymuch.

Pistols and natural hair....

This blog is getting so Brokeback Mountain.

4) David said (on 12/ 7/04 at 09:41 AM):

Am I the only one who thinks your hair looks better with product? It's so thick, it needs to be tamed.

How sad that you have wound up with a closet heterosexual. Obviously, all that hot man/man action is simply overcompensating for his inner straight guy.

6) Brian said (on 12/ 7/04 at 03:43 PM):

The proper response would have been to burst into tears, shrieking, "What, I was ugly to you before?!!" Straight guys have no idea how to deal with that.

I think you should start experimenting with E.S. to see just how straight he really is.

High council? Man, we only have a board of directors.

8) Jeffrey said (on 12/ 7/04 at 04:11 PM):

Of course, you both did it right after that, I hope.

9) Faustus, M.D. said (on 12/ 7/04 at 07:06 PM):

Jess: Thank you.

Pony: No, it's worse--he's from Iowa. Maybe you could send him some of the forming cream and it would cure him.

i. bendito: I have not read (seen?) Brokeback Mountain, but I gather from your comment that perhaps it's better that way?

David: You are not the only one. I think so too.

Convivia: Either that, or his psychosexual development was interrupted when he was a child.

Brian: Oh, that's good. I'll try that next time.

Michelle: I'm surprised you don't have a coop.

Jeffrey: No, because I had to go teach aerobics.

Oh come on, the hard on is what's important here folks! All that sweet talk, awww.

Great site! Thanks for the laughs!

If you get rid of your entire hair product line (a.k.a. survival tools), and live/exist/suffer like that for say... several hours, perhaps then his timely x-mass gift(s) would "save the day"?
