Protect the endangered dragons day! Don't slay today!
Quote: DaButt @ April 23 2012, 1:53 AM BSTJust found out via Facebook that a close friend from high school died today. We were estranged for many years but a few years ago (via Facebook) he contacted me to apologize. I'm feeling old, mortal and sad.
Sorry to hear that DaButt.
So, for those of you not on FB, I went to a flat warming party on Saturday night, drank way too much, fell over and split my head open on a radiator. Woke up on Sunday with a massive black eye, dried blood on my face and a little bit of a headache.
Now here's the problem, the black eye has spread to both eyes and I have to go out today. So advice time - do I go out 'as is' and risk scaring children or do I do a Bono and wear sunglasses in the rain, thus making me look like a total knob?
Sunglasses. Definitely. (But explain why to anyone who matters.)
Sunglasses... else people will talk.

Thanks zooo. Either way I'm going to be self concious, so I'm still weighing up the pros and cons.
If I go out sporting the shiners, people usually give me a wide berth, which is great as I have to go to the bank and supermarket and there's less chance of hassle.
Hmmm. Will make the decision at the last second and see how I get on.
I'd just scribble YOU SHOULD SEE THE OTHER GUY on a t-shirt and waltz out the door.

Then again, chav chicks go for the fighting look. If I play my cards right, there could be an Adidas track suit on my bedroom floor by the end of the day.

Or I could stagger along the road with a can of Tennants Super in my hand and occassionaly swear at passers by.
Google has a St George & dragon logo today.
So, decided to head out without the sunglasses and it was a bit of a revelation on the chick front - girls were actually checking me out because of my violent eye shadow.
They had that 'oooh, he looks like trouble' expression on their faces, so let that be a top tip for you fellas out there - if you want to pull a modern, sophisticated woman, look like you've been in a fight.

Erm, I'm sure you're very dashing and all that, but isn't it possible that they were just staring at the bloke who looked like a panda...
I was looking for a photo of a man dressed as a panda - but found this instead! Awwww!
Time to brew some beer.
