I am here to make your forum great.

Post by Bozworth »

Hello.

I went by 'Lasers go Pew Pew' on Esangha, but I am taking this as an opportunity to rename myself based on my strange affinity for Brian Bosworth, his Oakleys, his popped collar, and his bitchin' hairdo.

So after being away for a while, I noticed that Esangha appears to be no more. So it goes.

Today, I stumbled across this site and noticed that quite a few of my favorite peeps from that site post here. And it's strictly Theravada to boot! I think I'll be staying...

Cheers.

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel! Strangely, I have an affinity toward that look too, mostly on women. :tongue:

I found those fashion links very interesting. I had always thought popped collars started as a hockey coach thing.

From the angle in the avatar, I can see how one may mistake Brian Bosworth's hairdo for a simple Grace Jones-like pencil-top. However, if we look at it from another angle:

We can see he is also sporting a mullet, which completes the look. Here is a shot of him at maximum plumage:

I confess, I once had this same plumage...shaved closer and higher on the sides. With green or purple streaks and a few dreds. Gawd, the late 70s, early 80s were fun. :tongue:

Damdifino. I never heard of this guy before now. Googling him, while providing some entertainment, I could have happily lived my life without ever hearing about him.
