In a few short hours a small group of on-lookers will be gathering to witness an event of epic proportions.
The build up to this day rivals that of the anticipation of the coming of Y2K. The tilt of the earth may shift slightly, satellites may need realignment, clocks may mysteriously re-set to midnight.
This is a warning: be prepared for anything and everything. What lies beneath that hair has never been seen with the bare human eye before.
The fact is, no one else garners quite so much interest as this long haired hippie from Boston turned peculiar and ineffable missionary to Haiti.
He is loved. He is feared. He is cared for and revered. He has been merciless to visitors, as many can attest. If you have been party to this glorious pay-back, you certainly are blessed.
It all began HERE approximately 100 days ago when he foolishly snorted and flippantly said, "Raise 50K for the Hospital and I'll let you cut it off." He then proceeded to taunt, mock, and disrespect for many weeks. He does not know the heart or the soul of the people of the blogosphere. Clearly he has underestimated you. The people have spoken and the hay-uh must go.
As difficult as it was, John has accepted his fate as proven by his recent post.
We have no idea what we might find in those matted tresses. Perhaps our missing keys, ipods and small children. We do know this much - a formidable task lies before us this day. May God grant us the strength to rise to the endeavor.
And so, it is with much pomp and circumstance that the hair will be removed on Thursday, November 18, Two-thousand and ten at approximately nineteen hundred hours.
Lest you not be caught off guard, please take this warning with the seriousness in which it is delivered.
Fare thee well hair.
respectfully submitted,
tara & troy

Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave to wealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to have done nothing and succeeded at it. -erwin lutzer

Wow. I'm kind of scared, haha
I dare not suggest that you kiss John's bald head for me....... that is too scary a thought for the bravest of brave.
But I will watch the video with a big smile of satisfaction.......
all the way from Guam. :)
I hope you will donate the hay-uh to prevent any future oil spills off the US coastline! (Seriously, some hairdressers are doing this, that would be even more added value, the environment gets to benefit!)

Wait wait wait...the earth might shift? I didn't know about this.
As we will be in the same state as this event, we will be wearing helmets and possibly Kevlar to endure the shockwave as best we can. Personally, I'm expecting the angels to sing (nothing huge, like Christmas, but at least a couple with a harp or something). :)
Yogi says he will add another 100$ to the pot if you force the red sox heat instead of Yankees. hes a man of his word. just sayin'
You forgot "glowing" in the description of the post-cut head. The fact that the rest of (or most of it anyway) Johns body has been exposed to Haitian sun for about 20 years, and his head has NOT is going to mean an alarmingly white head is going to greet you after the hair goes. Which, makes it all that much more worth it! Can you imaging the points and stares he'll get back in Haiti. And mocking laughter. Bwah ha ha ha!
I am wondering if you think it's safe to look directly at the head or should we be using special equipment like when there's a solar eclipse? =) Tinge of sympathy for John ...oh wait...yeah, it's gone.
LOL. You guys are hilarious. Ready for the video and heeding your warnings. We won't leave home tonight after 6pm.
It'd be great if you could stream it live! haha Been following you since the earthquake and enjoy your blog.
