I'll bet you're right about that, Panzade. If a guy who looked like that actually came up to them on the street, they'd probably run screaming.

Maybe these are the same type of women that hang out under stairs licking the feet of people walking by, Kicky?
You guy's are HARSH today, yeoooow.
How'd you know?
Listen, we don't get the Pam Anderson sort of thing, either. Could she BE more fake? I know I know what's wrong with fake? but that's what we don't get.
I'm going to throw in an entirely inappropriate literary reference, but the snooty elitist effect is somewhat mitigated by the fact that I don't remember the author or title, but I bet y'all read it in English class, about some duke or count or something who found the most beautiful girl ever, sublime, gorgeous, except -- she had a mole on her cheek. It obsessed him, that perfect, divine beauty marred by that one little flaw. He managed somehow to get rid of it -- sent her to the best, most expensive doctor or something. He waited eagerly for the unveiling, where she would finally be flawless. And there she was, flawless and... boring.
Seal is otherwise flawless, and the facial scarring makes him more interesting. (When we were gaga over him, he was letting it be believed that it was ritual scarring, purposely inflicted, but when we found out what it really was we didn't care.)
"Mole. Bloody mole. We aren't supposed to talk about the bloody mole, but there's a bloody mole winking me in the face. I want to c-u-u-t it off, ch-o-o-p it off, and make guacamole."
(Do you know what story that is, Cav? Can't remember, don't have enough of a hook to Google it.)
By the way that very image was why we were gaga over Seal -- sort of a Farah-Fawcett-in-Red-Swimsuit iconic image.
So, are the scars really from bad acne, sos?
I forget. There were a series of reasons given and I know some of the ones that aren't true (ritual, intentional scarification) but don't remember if others are (what comes to mind is childhood illness, but I have a vague memory that no, it wasn't that either, just plain ol' acne. I'll check.)
Actually sozobe, I don't know it. I don't recall it being one I studied.
I thought it was because one day at an aquarium, he was attacked by a baby seal. Hence, the name.
Good thinkin'. <taps temple>
Slappy, do you know that story?
If someone doesn't recognize it soon I'm going to start going around to every thread in A2K and summarizing it and saying "do YOU recognize this??" and nobody wants that...
you mean the mole one? if so its from austin powers: goldmember
Gawd I love Google. Love it love it love it. <kisses computer>

Soz, like usual, I have NO idea what the hell you're talking about. If you could see me right now, I would just nod and grin...nod and grin...nod....and....grin.
