The Sniffle Shuffle
It's time to go through my TechTV inbox, shuffle past the spam, and answer a few burning questions. “Chris, why did you cut your hair like that?” I had no choice; it had been burned to a crisp with the bleaching / coloring process. I could either wear the mullet wig for a month or take it off… take it ALL off. I opted for the latter. “Chris, will they let you cut your hair like this more often?” I doubt it. I've already caused our ratings to drop over 200% in the past couple of days. Of course, I was sick for two of them. Leo and Brett were great substitutes. They almost had to change the name of the show to: “I Can't Believe It's Not Pirillo!” “Chris, you look silly with a butch.” Yeah, well… you look silly with a pencil shoved halfway up your nose. I can shove it in all the way if you'd like me to? “Chris, what's up with you being sick this week? Did all of those hair chemicals go to your brain?” Oranges. Oranges and graphic design. “You're not Leo.” Yes, we pretty much established this two years ago. You're living in the past, man. “Chris, can I call you 'Chris'?” Sure. Just don't tell my wife. Thanks. She tends to be overprotective when it comes to people using my name. “Chris, I think you eat rainbows with your hair color.” Using Google's translation engine, are we? “Chris, I think you should go over to Cat's house one night and dye her hair. And then you should go and look at the posters in her room.” Uh… okay? Look, if you're not going to ask serious questions, I'm just going to stop answering them today. “Chris, don't you think the viewers would rather blah blah blah… yadda yadda yadda?” Totally. Now tune in tomorrow or I'll punch you in the nuts.

Another question to add to your collection.
Are you planning to re-design the logo now that your hair style has changed?

LOL You can't pinch what I ain't got! ;) I will have several trees full of pecans later this year if you wanna pinch those. hehe
Seriously though, if we are done with school in time, we'll watch. It's just on to dang early for us to be able to catch most of the time.

This is the funniest entry I've read so far! Anyway, I think Chris actually looks better bald (and one of my friends started crushing on Chris when she saw him bald on tv.) Anyway, love your show and your blog! Don't worry, you're still the coolest geek Chris! Hair or no-Hair ;)

What would have been really bad is, if after shaving all of your hair off, you discovered that you had a really big mole on your head. Or… or a distinct birthmark in the shape of a weiner. Ya, that would suck. Or what if your head had melted but left only your hair? Things could have been so much worse. Actually, with the bald look, if you stick a pair of shades on, you could look really mean. People could call you Chris 'steel-gnome' Pirillo. What an opportunity for a personality transformation! Gnome with attitude. Now, where's my spitoon?
