Fashion advice question: is a toupee in such bad taste that it's cool?
forget piercings, I'm thinking that the best way to flout societal norms is to wear a bad rug and wear it proudly. Including leaving it off occasionally so that there is no getting around the fact that you are wearing a bad toupee. What say ye, lounge?

2. I've long maintained that if a high school kid really wanted to "rebel"

3. I've seen it. It's lame. Maintaining clean clothes is hard, so you...

6. Yes. Definitely. And I think, when not wearing it, you should store it
on your dashboard. People will think it's an attack dog...leaving you free to leave your car unlocked at all times. :thumbsup:
