Oh my hairy mole.
Today was another day of knocking doors and convincing people to buy pest control. During the adventure I came across this old chinese man mowing his lawn, so I decided to walk over to him and motion him to stop. As I started to talk to him I noticed that he had a large mole (witch like) on the lower side of his left cheek... but the odd thing was that there was SO MUCH hair growing out of it. It was about 5 inches long!! and not just a few stragglers, probably about 20 long nasty mole hairs. The rest of his face was clean shaven, but why? WHY? would you not shave that as well???

5 inches long? You could braid that mole hair. Now, I have to say that someone motioning me to stop mowing the lawn is one of my ultimate pet peeves. When you are on a roll, you don't want to stop and starting up the damn lawn mower again is a pain in the buttox. But that's just me, I'm sure the long mole hair guy was thrilled. hahaha - I love you Zak.
I thought this article was a good responce to your mole hair worries:
BEAUTIFUL ATROCITIES-STILL LIFE WITH MOLE HAIRS
The library assistant was a pretty young woman with a large mole on her right cheek. It was a flat dark mole the size of a concord grape. It was not unattractive - it didn't look like a malignant melanoma - but it had long dark hairs growing out of it. Her mouth was moving, but all I could do was stare at the long coarse mole-hairs.
I just knew someone had told her not to shave it because it would grow back thicker. Why do people believe this? If that were true, men's faces would have exploded long ago. Maybe she didn't like stubble, but I don't either, which is why I shave every day HINT HINT. There's also bleach.
I used to work with this Chinese woman who was very nice - she gave me a live turtle for some reason - but she had hag's moles on her chin with long scraggly black hairs sprouting from them. She practically had a goatee. I constantly had to resist the temptation to reach out & snatch them out.
When she got pregnant, I was amazed, because I found the mole hairs so repellent. I wondered if her husband found them erotic, or possibly even nursed at them. I suppose it's all relative; if I was an alien from the 8th Dimension, all humans would look so grotesque, I probably wouldn't even notice a few mole hairs.
It's my guess that most normal people find mole hairs repellent.
That's weird - I wonder if it's a Chinese thing! There was this Chinese guy in our old ward that had that exact same thing. Completely clean shaven, except for his inch long mole hairs. GROOOOOSSSS!! It was so ugly. He was a young guy, too. Maybe mole hairs are sacred in China.
haha - sacred mole hairs...
Gross. Did the mole hairs wiggle around when he talked? That would be so distracting.
Shudder! That's super gross! It's weird, I USED to have a tiny mole on the side of my chin that would grow this witch hair. I was SO obsessed with making sure I had no hair that I picked at it all the time. Now, I have no mole..creepy huh? I used to work with this lady who was our computer specialist. She was smart as pie and fun and nice, but she had NO hygiene whatsoever. She was constantly getting written up for her stinkiness but she didn't care. But what bugged me so much was that she had tons of chin hairs, almost like an adolescent boy beard. About every 6 months she'd shave them, but in the meantime I couldn't look at her when they got long. How could you stand it?!! shudder (again)
I have a ticklish mole (as my sisters call it) on my shoulder that I really need to get removed. It is totally off limits to even poor Steve.
A very repugnant blog, I must say.
Isn't that like a sign of something for Chinese men? Can't remember what, but I remember learning that in Shanghai. Paul?
I found this guy's travelogue about Beijing:
I was definitely grossed out by the long hairs coming out of people's facial moles, but my guide book tells me Chinese men pride off how long their mole hairs can grow, and some of them even use crèmes to make their hair grow longer. It is supposed to be a sign of long life and prosperity. We are talking like 4 inch hairs (about 10 hairs) growing out of these big, gross facial moles. Ahh. And most Chinese men have at least one long fingernail, usually the pinky, also for good luck.
Huh. I added the long pinky nail info because Paul's dad totally has long pinky nails!!! It grosses me out and I thought it was for obtaining the goods from the nether regions of his nostrils (which I've seen him attempt many a time), but maybe he thinks he's a lucky Chinese dude. Paul?
Mole hair is not good. Picking nose is not good. My dad in general is not good. I dont want to talk about any of these things.
Oh my time for something new.
Zak, where are you??? I'm sick of this hairy mole.
ZAK.....seriously, it's time.
WE MEAN IT!!!
