"Never trust a man whose eyebrows meet in the middle" Discuss

[Truebrit71sbruv]

Edited to correct doggerel English...

... good job I'm not a Communications Consultant or anything like that eh?

:blush:

[DainBramaged]

1. Would you even talk to him?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

5. Would depend on which end of the bottle I was... n/t

[HEyHEY]

2. You just bought yourself a heap of trouble with Scotland

[Truebrit71sbruv]

3. Och aye the noo!

But hell... then you'd be asking me to trust a man who's eyebrows meet in the middle AND who's wearing a skirt...

[DainBramaged]

7. But the Pauls' and Mikey wore kilts last Monday night?

And none of them have them highway eyebrows?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

9. All removed by laser surgery...

...at the age of 11, together with obligatory "de-gingerisation"...

[DainBramaged]

11. Oh no, da boyz, no no no no

Tuttle is English, not Scottish, and the kilts fit just right they do. And Sr. would be differin with ya, he would.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

13. I have the paperwork to prove it...

...and the relative safety of virtual anonymity in a discussion forum to protect me...

[DainBramaged]

19. Da boyz would be greetin ya with Sr.'s size 12

and then the disagreein would be discontinuing

[Truebrit71sbruv]

20. Doing the teamster-tango...

...on the tender testicular portions eh?

Discretion could well be the better part of valour...

[DainBramaged]

21. 'Dem tree-trunk arms would be settin up the drop kick of the century

Which, if you wanted to see something goofy as hell, Mikey asking the tour bus driver where Peter Pan is.

[DainBramaged]

31. Gus would be a disagreein too

[DS1]

30. Those guys are all a bunch of douchebags putting more drama

than skill into their bikes.

Oh look, another 'movie' bike. Yeah, slap some more plastic on it, dorks!

[Truebrit71sbruv]

32. ~chuckling deeply~

... no, DS1 tell us what you REALLY think... ;)

[DainBramaged]

33. Dem's be fightin words, they be

Some folks like them others hate them, but the bottom line is, they are way richer than the both of us. And so what. I ain't ridin one of their bikes and neither are you.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

34. Yup...

... but Saturday Night's alright for fightin'

[DS1]

38. They're gimmicks on wheels

Other builders do MUCH more creative things with their bikes, like Billy Lane for example. Hubless back wheel, integrated exhaust, etc. OCC guys just slap a corporate logo on a stock frame and call it a work of art.

Firebike being the rare exception.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

39. You'd noticed that too eh?

However, with a background that includes a fair amount of TV production, I know that the whole package and concept makes for hellishly cheap TV programming... so no surprise in the format I guess...

Same, same...

[DainBramaged]

40. No dispute but that isn't the point of their work

They're for the corporations who can reach out and have a CREATION done for them that touches their clients, not the hardcore bikers. They filled the niche that the hardcore builders were to egotistical to fill.

The fire bike and POW/MIA bike did it for me, and since then they are my heros. Sorry, I won't argue about them with you. Myself and millions of others enjoy the show and what they do for others.

[DS1]

41. I've enjoyed the show too

It's cool watching everything come together - but I still think the end-results are uninspired and obvious.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

42. but is it the end result that is the important factor in the programme...

... or the "human" aspect?

As with so many of these formats, often the hook is perceived to be the interaction rather than the final outcome.

Such thinking is oft heard the death-knell of quality TV programming...

[DS1]

43. "tempers will flare, sparks will fly, and deadlines might get missed"

you tell me ;-)

[Truebrit71sbruv]

44. ~grins~

... I can hear the segment producers now... "screw the fucking deadlines, stay with the hissy-fits!"

[DS1]

46. In fact, go make sure that UPS truck gets a flat tire

:rofl:

[DainBramaged]

47. They are Gods in Orange County NY, Gods I tell ya

Didn't ya see the episode when they moved and Governor Pokacki came down from his hole in Albany to congratulate da Boyz?? Who else can ride a bike without a license plate anywhere in the US unless the fix is in?


Need my fix, got to get all three seasons on DVD for Xmas from someone I know. AAAAAAARGGGHHH

[DS1]

49. I'm glad you found something you so thoroughly enjoy

and yes, I've wondered about the no-plate/no-helmet thing myself ;-)

[DainBramaged]

51. Being relatively poor, feeble attempts at entertainment

keep me occupied.:silly:

And besides, when night is turning close to day, and all that is on are infomercials all over the cable we pay so dearly for, there is the chance of Senior's size 12's reappearing on the screen to make me laugh again.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

48. It's a damned good job there are no handbags in the show...

... there'd be mascara and broken finger-nails flying in all directions otherwise...

[DainBramaged]

53. They'd build carts for them, I tell ya with little tiny motors

[Truebrit71sbruv]

55. LMFAO!!!!

Now THERE'S a TV format to tout around the corporations...

"Yes, it's a bunch of guys that look like Satan would cross the street to avoid, and they've each got a Gucci handbag which they have to motorise and customise to show at the annual Monsta-Clutch-Bag Expo held in Texas..."

[DainBramaged]

57. I hear it now, Monster, Monster, Monster make up garage

[DS1]

58. Tim Burton Directs A Clockwork Goldberg Contraption Production of

Mecha-Goths

[Truebrit71sbruv]

59. Ah for fuck's sake...

... am laughing like a drain here...

And have also noticed it's 17 mins past OhMyGod O'Clock here in Europe... so I'm outta here - been fun doggin' with you guys.

Take it easy!

[DainBramaged]

60. We completely hijacked this thread from Neanderthals to Neanderthals

[DS1]

61. I was thinking the same thing

[Truebrit71sbruv]

62. Yup...

... doncha just love free speech!

Oh yeah... I wuz going to bed...

[DainBramaged]

64. Go before that size 12 comes after ya, I leave you with this

[Truebrit71sbruv]

65. For feck's sake...

... I dunno what's more scary... the fact that the hairy bastard is in a kilt or that he's riding a fucking scooter!!!

[DainBramaged]

68. I told ya it was an interesting first episode, OCC European Vacation

And there's no bike building either. They were in London and Scotland a week before my Daughter went the week of the bombings there. All she wanted was to go shopping in London, and they couldn't.

[DS1]

67. haha, nice!

:thumbsup: At least he's got a sense of humor, what's the title of that episode?

[DainBramaged]

69. Second part Monday night 10PM EST Discovery channel.

They'll probably show the first one tomorrow night.

[DainBramaged]

45. Yeah, but in the end, Mikey prevails

And that's all that matters. They've done dozens of corporate bikes that never made any shows, like the SolidWorks bike Pops did;



Valvolene, the tribute bikes to the military and police that were auctioned for the causes, and on and on.

(Paulie isn't a slouch, and inspite of his beard, he's a good lad.)

[DainBramaged]

4. Oh shit, could I offer them an ale??

[Truebrit71sbruv]

6. Nope...

... but give 'em a deep-fried mars bar and you'd have a friend for life... if you wanted one or not :evilgrin:

[DainBramaged]

8. What about a giant shrimp?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

10. Again...

...only if deep-fried beyond any limit of discernable taste...

[DainBramaged]

12. Than a donut for yee

aye

:donut::donut::donut::donut:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

14. is the donut double...

...deep-fried and then the dipped in lard and deep-fried again? If not, it's still too readily identifiable as having once actually been a donut

[DainBramaged]

17. This will be the treat to eat

Double dipped Mars bar, yum yum.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

18. Yowser!

... admitting to a Glaswegian heritage???

[Truebrit71sbruv]

37. And anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line...

Runnnnnnnnssssssssssssssssssss for them thar hills as fast as my leggies will carry me!

[Deja Q]

15. Somebody had nightmares watching Bert on Sesame Street as a kid?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

16. Oh great...

... thank you... thank you SOOOOOO much.

Bang goes 20 years of therapy...

[tjdee]

22. Like he can help that!

I am a woman, and I had a bit of a monobrow until I was allowed/knew about waxing/all of that.

I can see how it'd be harder for a man to admit he's got to do some manscaping. So I'd trust him if he was a trustworthy sort I think.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

23. heh...

... very true... although I bet you'd have a problem if his eyebrows also met his stubble... ;)

[Nikia]

54. He needs to do some tweezing

It is often confusing to know how much tweezing is necessary. I think that one can know enough that the eye brows shouldn't meet at the center though. My mother told me that I had to pluck my eye brows there. Why shouldn't boys/men be told that?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

56. 'Cos that kind of "cosmetic" attention...

...in guys is "sissy"... :)

[DS1]

24. Really

[Truebrit71sbruv]

25. lmao...

... the prosecution rests...

[-..__...]

26. Even if the person likes dogs?

[Truebrit71sbruv]

28. Tough call...

... very tough call... would depend I guess on whether the person concerned is in possession of a dogapult...

[Elidor]

27. whose

Never trust a man with sweaty palms, either. Ooops, I have sweaty palms. Never mind.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

29. ye gods...

... thankee for the correction... knew that bloody sentence looked arse-about-face when I typed it...

[Elidor]

35. I was being tongue-in-cheek

I'm not really the grammar police.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

36. ~grins~

I know... but JAYSUS I should have known better!

:rofl:

[khashka]

50. Deadly sexy IMO

But then I should probably be dating monkeys.

Khash.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

52. I suppose the single brow would emphasise...

... the ol' "eyebrow waggle" to a fairly dramatic extent...

And don't date monkeys... they're only interested in their nuts...

[phusion]

63. Wikipedia to the rescue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unibrow

I pluck mine...never liked the unibrow look. :) Damn Scottish heritage!

[Truebrit71sbruv]

66. aaaahhhhhh Salizhan Sharipov...

... the famous (sic) Russian Unibrow Cosmonaut...
