A state where you never find the dance floor empty
I just went for my passport photos...I read the information online very carefully so I wouldn't miss anything...I also read the guidelines on passport photos in the shop I went to and I saw NOTHING saying they need to see your ears in the photo...the guy taking the pics made me tuck my hair behind my ears...so, has anyone ever heard that rule? Or is this guy that took the pics just a freak and has an ear fetish?

Uhhh...his parents are probably about 200 years old and living in Korea...he was an older dude...I thought it was really strange, especially since he pointed out the sheet with the requirements for passport photos...

Hmm. When I got a new passport last summer they actually made me tie my hair back completely (yes I am male), no explanation except "because you have to" was given. Maybe that's why. I'm guessing it's so face recognition software can better check you over for comparing with of databases of criminals or whatever. Or maybe not.

You are correct sir. The location and general shape of the ears are hard to disguise and are subsequently heavily relied upon for any facial recognition software.

For some reason I fit the profile and have since I first travelled internationally at the age of about 15. It never fails, whenever I go abroad customs takes me aside and gives me a hard time. Any of you on here who have met me know that I am just a normal looking dude but for some reason I set off an alarm??? :nuts:

They phucked my bags up in a search in Reno last summer because I looked to happy. Too happy??? Do people look really happy before they blow a plane up??? Argghh - it was a bitch repacking my schit. :mad: All because I looked too happy. 7 days at Tahoe, while only riding one, how could I not look too happy??? Shouldn't they have to search everyone??? :think:

I'm a sore loser and would knock you out with a putter. :D I could throw the little puck knocker at you, and if there were bowling balls around, well, you get the picture. I hate losing at games like that. Besides, you couldn't take me. :nope:
