  It’s not always easy to now when you’re irregular. In case of penis size, well, every man has porn to know that if you don’t have a 9 inch penis, you should jump off a bridge in shame. In case of height, you just have to get dunked on a few times to figure that out. In case of hands, I have a coworker who gets called out for banana-fingers. I don’t have those.

For head size, however, it’s a bit different. I don’t know of anyone who looks like Humpty Dumpty, so I can’t really say that I’ve noticed a lot of people with a bit-too-large of a head.

I assume the the top number in the chart above is your chest size, mine’s about 36 (I’m 5′6, 150+, smaller upper, larger lower body). My hat (from a new New Era 59/50 cap) is size 7 3/8, which is a 44 (US) or Large. I should be at most a 7. (Incidentally, 59 Fifty’s are so popular among travelers that you can get counterfeits in Saigon, with stickers!)

To compare, Barry Bonds, before steroids, was 7 1/4. After, he was 7 3/8. Remember: Barry Bonds is 6′4 and 240 pounds. I am almost a foot shorter, almost 100 pounds less. Also, I have seen Barry Bonds, post-steroids, in person 4 feet away.

He has a big head. But apparently, so do I.

We are the same head size. Only I didn’t use steroids.

So what can I do with my big ass head?

• I’m not any smarter, apparently.
• It makes motorbike helmets in Vietnam a very smug fit.
• I can head butt others without feeling the worst of it. Or at least my sister would say so.

(Ah. Damnit. Now when I look in the mirror, I start to think, “You really do have a big ass head.”)

This is from the Clemens/Steroid thing on ESPN.com right now (also trying out Polaroid plugin for Windows Live Writer with the picture). I don’t know if it was meant to, but this picture looks like it was taken during the Civil War, and Roger Clemens is the president. Something about the clothes he’s wearing and the background…

I feel like he is the president who is going to get assassinated (like Lincoln) (with McNamee as the assassin) or he’s the assassin and McNamee is his gay secret lover. Ok, I don’t know who McNamee is in the latter scenario.

Anyway, I tend to believe/hope Clemens is guilty just to have everything during this time period questioned and unreliable, a big murky mess.

Now that Barry Bonds is retired, I can admit (I’ve read the Barry steroids book, Game of Shadows) he’s a true bastard (I’m a SF Giants fan). And so while this might seem like I hope everyone is guilty (which I do) so that Barry doesn’t look so bad (this is also true) and gets into the Hall of fame, it’s also to say baseball is full of hypocrites and liars, and while it’s not simply ok, we shouldn’t have the players be the only scapegoats because it was 1) essentially ok for a long time because there was no testing 2) baseball themselves did quite fine ignoring everything. Baseball no doubt encouraged this sort of behavior. Maybe one could say that McGwire, a white man, indirectly put pressure on Bonds, a black man, to keep up with the Jones’.

I don’t think I am so much better as a human being and fit to judge anyone else when there is no way to prove anything for those who are assumed not to have taken anything, so I say let everyone in or let no one (players or otherwise) in to the Hall of Fame from this time. Fair, of course not, but that’s life. Everyone has a part in it and the deniability.

I do love Christmas. Every year, ever since I’ve started working, I go a bit too crazy during Christmas. But I really doubt that makes me any different from 90% of America.

Of course, now I make VN wages for an American spending appetite. Uh oh.

1. Rock Band for the Playstation 2. Hell yeah! Haven’t seen any reviews for the PS2 version, but I hope it follows the X360 and PS3 versions. Too bad, no downloadable song packs though- maybe they’ll release 30-40 songs on cds over the months? Just hoping it arrives before I return to Vietnam after New Year’s. Basically won’t be back in the US after this upcoming trip for a year, so that’s also partially why I’ve been buying lots of stuff. Need to load up. As for Rock Band, I really think it’ll be huge for coworkers and lead to great team-building sessions. Just not sure about my own team.
