One day we're going to rise up and
Wait, what was I saying *plays video games*
The "tuck-the-hair-behind-my-ear" tactic is one of my most powerful moves. Men have no hope of standing up to it. Kind of like that email that got publicized of that guy saying the girl led him on by "playing with her hair." Men have no hope, really.

This explains why I bought Trails in the Sky despite declaring a moratorium on buying video games until March.

Ah-ha but I can seize the power back by tucking your hair behind your ear for you.

Joking aside, one of the most effective methods for shaming a woman has been to shave her head. Spans cultures and centuries.
Not the worst punishment in the world, but it is not nice or fair.

Ha! I bought Half-Minute Hero before I was tempted by her wiles!
Although if Trails in the Sky is on PSN then my willpower will be sorely tested.

They did that after WWII to Dutch girls who had slept with or dated German soldiers
'Surprisingly' the guys who did the shaving and tarring were not resistance members but guys who kept quiet during the war

The irony is, it seems very reminiscent of the way the Jews were treated by Nazi Germany.

Yeah but thank God that was pretty much the end of the story. The girls were not killed as 'traitors' or shit like that. Still it's really sick.

I have heard of this. :/ I wonder if it'd be as effective today in a more modern country. I've had pixie cuts several times now, and to shave it all off wouldn't be much more of a stretch. My oddly shaped/scarred head might embarrass me, though.

Animals. If I had a time machine I fear I would use it for evil and just go back to punch the perpetrators of various forms of assholery.

I was reading a book recently where a strong female character was shaved and made to parade through the town as a punishment. It pretty much drover her crazy. I didn't realize that was a common punishment.

This gave me the idea for a Punch-Out style game where people just go back in time and punch historical figures in the face.
Like, Hitler's tell would be wiggling his mustache. Louis XIII would be a clone of Bear Hugger from Super Punch-Out.
There is a very powerful image I have seen of a Jew being paraded down the street, completely naked and with an insulting sign over his chest. What really struck me was how dignified he looked. It was if he thought to himself he wasn't going to allow them to break him. He marched down the street as if he was in an expensive suit on nice summer's day.
It's etched on my mind.
If we're both thinking of the same book, wasn't she also shaved all throughout her body and paraded completely naked.
And yeah it was actually a common form of punishment in the middle ages.

That's a weird one that is partly weird because Alan Moore is a crazy person.
Her head was shaved, but it was simultaneously supposed to represent oppression and the cutting off ties to an old life and old style of thinking.
As an aside, Japan fuckin' loves the "hair = old life" symbolism.

When George Foreman hosted SNL, they did a skit called TIME BOXER.
IIRC, he fought Hitler.
I attended that taping and saw Courtney Love and Chris Farley acting really raunchy/pally with each other. Baby Francis Bean was there, too.

Courtney Love and Chris Farley?
Well, I'm gay now.

Oh then it won't bother you to read this then:
Alan Greenspan and Ayn Rand had a sexual relationship.
Oh yeah, but it was the first time she broke down. GRRM manages to make me feel sorry for all the jerks.

I imagine this would be like when Homer Simpson traveled back in time and punched everything he saw during the prehistoric era.

You might want to spoiler thatSome fans of those books can get mean man
Yeah, that's why I didn't give the name of the book.
The people who were guessing were correct, though
1up. Not gone to that site in ages. It's a mere shadow of its former self. I used love watching the 1up Show and listening to the 1up Yours podcast.

Random unrelated thing:
I'm sure someone else here has had a day where you couldn't be bothered to do anything (no motivation to even make something to eat), so what did you do to get out of it? I could force myself to take a walk, of course, but there's nowhere I want to go, nothing I want to do, and the prospect of just wandering aimless in my area appeals even less. Anyone have any other surefire techniques to 'wake up'? Shower? Do handstands?? Roll around on the floor like a panda??? :/

Weirdly the fall of 1up turned me to neogaf. They were the best gaming site for a while.

Shower usually works for me. My body has learned to understand that taking a shower means it needs to act like I'm getting off the bench at a basketball game.
What also helps is to just shut off all distractions and just focus. But you shouldn't do that because it would mean less posting here and that won't do.
Shower. I can't do anything unshowered. I feel too dirty even if I'm actually clean.

A shower. If that doesn't work actually nothing will and I will just have to snap out of it. For me it never lasts a day. So if it happens in the morning, it will be gone after the shower or otherwise later that afternoon. If it happens in the evening, I say fuck it and go sleep. It will be gone next day.
