I Ate Taco Bell’s Pacific Shrimp Taco, Too
That title read a little more euphemistically than I’d have preferred, but it got the job done. In case you thought that devouring a triumverate of Sonic’s Premium Beef Hot […]
I woke up a few days ago to a gleeful text message from my good friend Brian. Brian’s Irish, through and through, and I knew he’d been plotting some sort of revenge for the McBashin’ I gave his people in the St. Patrick’s Day article I wrote last week. “Check out this link. Now,” read the text, and so I did. My face instantly fell. Well played, my worthy shamrock adversary. Well played.
Brian had linked me to this article on MSN.com which can be summarized as follows: Propecia, the pill that stops you from going bald so you can keep getting laid, might destroy your ability to get a hardon, meaning no more getting laid. Oh, and it can cause depression, too.
What the Hell! Can I never win in this life? Yes, I admit it. I’m on Propecia. No, I was never losing losing my hair, but I noticed my hairline starting to pull back like the French Army the instant a shot’s been fired and decided to take it as a preventative measure. Because, believe me, I would be the ugliest bald man this side of Ben Franklin.
All the time, people say to me, “John, going bald isn’t the biggest deal in the world. Stop taking Propecia. It’ll all be fine.” And I agree with them that, for some people, going bald isn’t that much of an issue. Though it helps if you look like this.
Or this.
Or especially this.
We will cover with the fact that I didn’t have to download any of those images because they were already saved on my hard drive in a directory named “sexypics69” another day. Right now, I just want to show you what a Greek man with a little meat in the teet looks like bald.
Can you blame me for making any attempt, no matter how desperate, to keep my luscious, Sam Levine Jewfro alive? I’ve got some thinking to do about all this. Maybe bald with a gut can work. I know it did for one guy.

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya.
The one thing you failed to mention is the fact that the article states the damage to your weiner and libido may be irreversible, even after you’ve stopped taking Propecia.
PS – I love my stock photo.

Is it just me, or does Telly look a lot like Gandhi?

You try Rogaine (or it’s generic minoxidil)? It’s topical, with minimal side effects when used topically (taken orally it’s a heart medication- funny thing about heart medications Viagra was originally used and still is in some cases to treat heart/blood pressure issues. A side effect of the drug was boner time and thus a ED empire was born……). Only problem is that if you stop it, your hair goes back to it’s bald form (if not worse). That Simpsons ep where homer gets hair (and his assistant Carl- great early ep.) is kind of true.
Plus, that is a pretty poor example of a medical article. What is a small percentage of the user population? 10% 20%, 3%, 0.01%? See we don’t know, you almost need to go and do your own research to figure out if it’s worth taking that chance.
Gah, a comedy site and I’m talking med. facts……..
