What horse are you?

One of the guys got a haircut today. This made it apparent to all that there weren't that many hairs to be cut.

In defense of balding warriors everywhere, he felt the need to recite a list of bald characters that no one would mess with.

Bruce Willis is bald. He even played a bald SEAL.

Sean Connery, who may have played a former member of the British Special Boat Service (roughly speaking, a British SEAL) in The Rock, is bald or at least has played balding characters.

Ed Harris, though he played a Marine in that movie, made his list.

And Vin Diesel also played a SEAL in The Pacifier.

It was quickly pointed out that those were all fictional characters. One of the larger Special Forces guys pointed out that our real balding SEAL is too long and lean to be legendary.

The Special Forces guy said that if the SEAL would start lifting more, the SF guy would do more aerobic. They'd meet in the middle.

The SEAL took umbrage. He said he was strong enough to do whatever he needed to do and didn't want to sacrifice endurance.

Eager to be helpful, I egged each guy on.

First the SEAL claimed to be a racehorse. Then he was told he was more of a greyhound.

Somehow I went from being a little Clydesdale to a Shetland Pony.

According to wikipedia, "Shetland ponies have heavy coats, short legs and are considered quite intelligent. They are a very strong breed of pony, used for riding, driving, and pack purposes."

So I guess it's mostly a complement, or at least in keeping with the small Clydesdale metaphor, unless he was calling me hairy.

Other major developments of the day include the revelation that there is only one type of fresh water seal (the aquatic mammal, not the Frogman variety). It apparently lives in a lake in Russia. The largest lake in the world.

It was also decided, while the freshwater seal was being researched on the World Wildlife Federation web page, that Pandas aren't cool. They are helpless when born, even by human standards, have a crappy diet, and won't reproduce to save themselves.

Koalas, however, are cool cause they nature's stoners getting high of eucalyptus while they chill in the trees.
