Well, if you want to be a real bowlhead, you do!
Just wondering about your avatar, Jim. I notice that is the same Spock-like grip Jethro Burns is using in the picture of him that also includes a couple of Café members at theJethro Burns workshop 1983 thread - coincidence or design? Was that typical thing for him to do? I've never seen this anywhere else ...
BTW, thanks for the invite, but since I no longer have a bowlback, I politely decline your kind offer.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller

Finders Keepers, my duo with the astoundingly talented and versatile Patti Rothberg. Our EP is finally done, and available! PM me, while they last!
I'm not sure why we need this either, but i'm in. And i already have the appropriate haircut!
i'm in ... affinity between the top of my head and a lustrously smooo-oooth bowlback is, frankly, undeniable.
apropos ... frivolous, i know but i've been looking for a bowlback lapel pin for some time - haven't seen one i like. if any of you bowl bro's come across one, please let me know.
I'm in, although I'm not sure I make the ~folicular~ cut (thanks to my dad's genes, who, at age 80, sports a full, white mane that many 40-yr-olds would find hard to sustain). But, as regards what's INSIDE my head, OK... "guilty as charged".
Cheers,
Victor

I asked to join. I'm not sure the rest of you want to be in a group that would have me... or something like that.

you quote h.l. menken in your signature ... you've just made a reference to groucho marx ... all good stuff - plus you'll raise the level of hirsuteness (still green?) all around.
Oh, Bill, you bring back such memories! The last time I recall hearing/reading the attribute of hirsuteness was the 70s...
Let us not, however, rush to direct our creative tech folks to invent that ever-so-useful, Hirsute Emoticon but henceforth rest satisfied in our mutual understanding that the Bowlhead honorific is metaphorical.
So, Jim... what might be, as it were, the "Mission Statement" of this social network/group?

membership has had an immediate and positive effect on me ... i've just dredged my bowlback out of the closet!
... sounds good!
Thanks for the invitation, I'm in, even though I no longer possess the qualification to be an official member of the Loyal Order of the Bowl, I still think fondly of my former bowlbacks
