That seems to be an awkward way to read a book.

My chick digs my body hair.

So you take umbrage with shirtless men in the summer (and thinking specifically pools, beaches)?

I can tune out most guys, but hairy dudes stand out & should wear their shirts in shame.  That's what my half-Syrian cousin always did at the beach   But he was also really fat.

So people with a normal amount of body hair should be ashamed of what comes naturally?

If anything hairless freaks should be ashamed of their lack of virility.

I have very little body hair, and feel no shame.

I have always thought though that one of the greatest things about being a man is not having the crippling body issues that women do.  I love it when I see a big fat guy with no shirt, a bald guy proudly rocking his chrome dome, a hairy guy being, well, hairy.  You're you, dude - feel proud.

Ugh. I think, be a little considerate and think about what you are subjecting people to. So rarely a genetics issue like the other bits I cropped out.

Don't take derspiess too seriously, then density of his Hitler mustache pretty much exhausts his follicle resources.

I can't really imagine what could possibly be so gross or off-putting about male body hair...   I'm not a hairy fellow by any means, but it's only a matter of degree for most men who don't have hormonal or other medical issues.

My greatest shame is that I can't grow a proper beard which I would much prefer to having to shave. Hair grows pretty much everywhere for me, but not in my face or on my head.

You're a man.  You should not feel any shame.  Your body (and your hair) is what it is - embrace it.

German speakers, I''d be interested to know some of what the pilot's saying.

At around the 2:10 mark, you get the universal language for Holy Fucking Shit.

Why would the Spitfire fly inbetween the two Me's?

edit: it's not 1940 footage is it?

Many of the youtube comments are calling it a fake (well, saying it is actually modern footage).

I couldn't stand him in life, but, strangely, I find that I'll miss him in death.

Too far to the left for my liking, but always seemed like a man of integrity and a strong voice in British politics.

He comes across well in the Ali G interview.
