That one bothered me too 

I settled on Sid Haig.

There is a slight chance you may be right.  I would know him best as Donar from Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II (I've watched the corresponding MST3K episode many times), in which he does rather resemble the protester:


I'm not 100% sure if he's my answer though....

[Scruffie]

If Sid Haig is close, perhaps it's the man I often confuse him for, Erick Avari.

Some of you might be too young to remember, but they used to have these places called "barber shops" that would help you with grooming.  I'm hoping they will get trendy with hipsters and come back some day. 

Last time I got a haircut was probably over 20 years ago. So there!

Speaking of hair, how many people are seeing kids running around with pudding-bowl or electric clipper haircuts?

[davent]

Extremely rare to see any kids running around at all, lots in the neighbourhood, i regularly walk around town, they're not out.

I went outside after dinner to sit and read with my coffee, there were people cutting lawns, i could hear people talking, yelling to be heard, it was awful couldn't focus at all, had to go back inside, already missing the good old days.

I usually cut our boys hair anyways, so I've gotten practiced at it, but I myself am in need. looking forward to seeing someone about this shag soon.

A nephew got married this afternoon, planned months ago for today, not quite as envisioned or planned, rather abridged version. My sister's immediate family, kids and grandkids alone would account for eighteen heads. Total person count for the ceremony, the official doing the job, the marrying couple, the two mothers, live streamed for anyone else.

That's more than 10 people in a gathering, I'm gonna need you to step out of the car sir.

Well, at least it'll cut back on extended family feuds erupting over dinner.

Yeah, but for those of us on the sidelines, that's entertainment.

I only see members of my family together at most three times a year, Christmas was the last time, so no time to get the feuds cranked up but...

Another opportunity fast approaching, a niece is getting married in June, again all planned and arranged many months ago, who knows where things will be at in a months time, gatherings of 10 allowed?

A friend i haven't seen or talked to since New Year's eve called this afternoon to catch up. She has a nephew going to school in New Zealand and was going to visit in April but that all was kiboshed. Her brother and the rest of his family flew into New Zealand to visit on March 14. On the 16th they were on another plane back to Canada after our government announced get back now or you may not get back in. Weekend trip to New Zealand, 18 or so hours one way.

That blows.  I'm living outside of Chicago these days but had a family friend in Winnipeg pass late last week.  The family is putting off any sort of a large service till restrictions ease a bit.  I'm thankful for that.  Stupidity reigns supreme here in the States as restrictions are lifted in a large number of states and folks are going about their business as if nothing happened.  Thinning the herd I suppose.  As long as everyone stays safe it's good to see the folks that are under a huge financial strain get back on track.  This has been rough.

Niece's turn tomorrow to get married. My brother's marrying them i figure so he can squeeze an extra family body into the ceremony, not streaming this on either. Plans gone awry... i think we still have a five person limit in effect.
