In the crosshairs
Entering this thread brings you to a place of highly concentrated mutual abuse disguised as great imagination.
I inaugurate this thread with an image of Rolf a few days after his facial Brazilian and a few minutes after dragging a branch of thorns deeply across his face. The image is a photograph processed by the Deep Dream Generator*

Re: In the crosshairs
Cool effects, Johnny Tyre. Yes, I missed my protective hairs this morning. It's colder too; I felt like my face was chapping on Friday. I should have shaved it off in one piece—then I could stick it back on with tape for rides.
Oh, and I found a snap from your post-doc years in the lab, John. Who knew you used to be a ginger, before your head turned into a giant scab...
