I've seen the photographic evidence of Eddie's fro-age (thanks, Kathie!!!

) He looked like a cross between the PBS "happy little tree" painter guy and "welcome back Kotter." Now he's just regular ol' ugly.
Nice Snyders, Shannon, that's a killer. If you'll push the other end into your leg it helps dampen the shock, and don't pinch it between your fingers. Every time I grip one too hard, it winds up bisected instead of bifaced.
