I have been wearing crew cuts for 20 years, or more. I hate the heat of longer hair. Plus, my scalp is dry, & since I stopped combing my hair, I have no dandruff.

Well in my case having a bit more hair on the top of my head is like a few extra points of SPF against the Florida sun! :lol:
Daily morning showers with a head and shoulders has stopped my dandruff. A very small blob of styling gel, and my daughter's old hair dryer and a comb keeps it from getting 'wild' between hair cuts. I've asked the barber to leave enough on top to keep up the "sun shield". :D

At my age, I'm glad I still hair!

You guys do realize that Astro Boy does not and will never have a problem with dandruff. In that case I guess he is like JeffBert! :lol:

Strnagewings: In the segment re: Ep.# 156 in the "Astro Boy 193 Episode Guide Book" the katakana for the Robot Mayor's name reads as "Reimon" or Reymon"!

BTW, what is a gif?


I :heart: :astro: :)

When I saw the images of Atom and the rest getting all cleaned up I was strangely reminded of the scene in The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy and company first arrived in the Emerald City and had more or less the same treatment... that and the catchy song!

I'd LOVE to see that gif though!

It's "レイモン", literally translated as "Reimon". In Japanese, the vowel "y" is used only in the romaji writing of syllables like "ya", "yu" and "yo" ("や、ゆ、よ").

BTW, what is a gif?

I believe it stands for Graphic Interlaced Format, an image format generally used for looped animations.
Details here.

Thank you, StrangeWings! I used the "y" to illustrate the sound or pronunciation of "ei" as "ey" in English much in the same way "chi" is really the equivalent of "ti"!

:cry: That stuff burns my finger tips. Ivory soap also burns me.

'Reimon'? :blush: I often run the thing at 1/2 speed to catch the names, but I could not detect the 'n,' Strangewings.

You must have very sensitive skin. Ivory is very mild soap.

Can you make it? If so, send me a PM with your email address, & I will send you a zip with all the frames.

I guess so; I have been using liquid soap since before it became popular, thinking all bar soaps were irritants. I am o.k. with Dial & Irish Spring, though.
