omg Laurel I just wrote and erased a Newsies post because I've embarrassed myself enough with that one around these parts before.

Christian Bale is one of the handsomest men ever imo.

Can someone please photoshop a hitler jugend holding a picture of one of those dudes with the haircut, in the style of those "NOT OKAY" psas?

tbh didnt hitler himself basically have this haircut?

I kind of don't even get how this is a "hairstyle" so much as hundreds of different hairstyles that are very short underneath and longer on top. I have definitely noticed this hairstyle a lot, especially since I moved to a neighborhood full of hitler youth (williamsburg). My wife had pointed out that all of the sudden all these guys seemed to have "whooshy" hair.

haha, whoops kind of contradicted my own post -- meant to say "these hairstyles"

my hair is much too thick to do this

same. I basically only have three possible hairstyles: short, medium and jewfro

wonder what kind of reaction I would get from a barber if I asked for "hitler youth on the sides, seinfeld on top"

he would probably go like this http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/1/7/35625c0e-c05a-4cb4-bee8-5bf59fc9b46a.gif

his was more of a hitler haircut

ill have a "hitler old" please

a "hitler reacts" if you will

"what'll it be, jugend or fuhrer?"

"Hitler, Diet Hitler or Hitler Classic?"

lol ENBB/Laurel swing kids/newsies were the first movies to come to mind

i haven't had my hair cut by someone else in about five years, strongly recommend everyone boycott Big Barba

i cut my hair for years and have only had it done by pros for the last few #iamthe1%

Won't this article sufficiently end popularity for this style?

my hair is much too thick to do this

"(For a midafternoon snack, Sitko sometimes eats 10 bananas.)"

as far as trendpiece people go, vegan bodybuilders don't seem particularly horrible

Stanozolol is totes vegan.

He ... wrote a book about vegan bodybuilding that discusses how he went from 120 pounds as a teenage vegan to 195 pounds today. "In those days, that meant a dozen tofu dogs a day, six Clif Bars, refried beans, whatever I could eat was calories," he said. "It worked, but it was tough on my stomach. It wasn’t healthy."

"It was tough on my stomach" must be the understatement of the week. You wouldn't want to use the restroom after that guy, that's for sure.

two demographic groups
both hyperfocused on food intake
united at last

liked the bit about being shunned for being a vegan; maybe weightlifting is just a way to pig out on meat

I have known a couple of competitive body builders and "healthy" is not a word I would use to describe them. I wonder what the body building vegans' supplement regime looks like?

im a vegan bodybuilder FYI
the body I'm building is kinda fat tho

it's okay you just gotta cut or drink alcohol for the veins to show

Can a Foodie and Mr. Bland Be Happy?

When Kimberly Charles came back from a business trip to Italy last fall, she brought a five-ounce, $500 white truffle home with her. She showed it to her boyfriend, k*ll*an MacGeraghty, and described how she would make fettuccine with butter-and-Robiolo cheese sauce and carefully shave the truffle on top.

Mr. MacGeraghty didn't share her enthusiasm. "It smells like bat-wing dust," he told her. "I was a bit crestfallen," says Ms. Charles, 48, the owner of a marketing firm in San Francisco.

Sharing meals is one of the most enjoyable things couples do together, a regularly scheduled time to relax, have an intimate conversation and recharge the relationship. But when one person is an adventurous eater and the other has simpler tastes, meal times are often divisive.

Foodies can be exciting dinner partners, turning everyone around them on to new ingredients, wines and cuisines. But to people who don't share their passion, foodies also can seem intimidating, judgmental, even snobby. Meanwhile, non-foodies—folks who know what they like to eat and see no reason to venture further—can come across as timid, stubborn or, I hate to say it, boring.

...

am inclined to think that being a fussy eater should be in DSM-5 but otoh nothing is more disgusting, savage than this:

A former sommelier who judges wine competitions, Ms. Charles can question the chef for 20 minutes before ordering at a restaurant.

I mean at least she's a pro so it's sort of talking shop for her, like asking the guitarist about his rig or something.

A lot of this stuff sounds very princess-and-the-pea though.

Or prince, obv.
