my head is a friggen MELON!

it's official. my head is giant. (my poor mom)

sunglass shopping is a B____! i talked to a sales rep and she said to try this one style, which is "large". hahah..i got them in the mail, slapped them on my face, and just started laughing...my wife asked, "wow, do those hurt?"...and we laughed some more.

i am boxing them up now, to send them back..i will exchange them for the ones i thought would fit, but she talked me out of..because they are "extra large"

wow. i would imagine with a head this huge i would be much much smarter. nope.

damn..for the record..most painless, on time FedEX shipment ever!! funny.

Hey, you short change yourself. It takes extra room to house that dynamo you're carrying around up there.

Hahah. I thought I had a big head. I guess it's a little about the shape too. I take a pretty big hat size, but glasses have never been a problem.

Good thing you aren't a boxer, it sounds like your face would make an easy target.

You're diggin' holes through mountains (and a manage too) so I'd think you're probably a pretty smart fella. And considering your threads around here, I suspect you're a bit of a Renaissance man.

When I was in basic training the Drill Sergeant asked one of us to give him our patrol cap so he could demonstrate the correct method to salute with a PC on. He said, someone with a big head.

I flipped him mine. It was like a bucket on his head. Good laugh.

7 3/4

We wore some funky beret thing for law school graduation. My buddy's was size 8. It was gigantic.

Try Bolle sunglasses. They fit my gig noodle

I have a friend who's infant son had such a large head the boy couldn't walk right. Kept on doing a head plant. Seems ok now.

Was your friend Mr Brown, and did he name his son Charles?

I have a huge head as well. Like the old rhyme, big head, big feet, big nose, big well you know.

The only bike helmets that I can get to fit me are Nishiki in large size.
All the reg fit helmets wont open far enough for the strap to fit around the back of my head.

Nishiki is the only one in my area that offers a large size.

My head is apparently streamlined (longer front to back and relatively narrow). When I was looking for bike helmets, most seemed to fit tight on my forehead and back of my head. It took a while to find one that fit well.

I watch "The Five" pretty much every day. Outside of "Gutfeld!" it is the best on TV. Anyway, I always notice that Harold Ford Jr. has the best cone head I've ever seen.

I'm sure we are related Vash. I have trouble finding hats that fit. Mind you, my head is mainly bone.

Make sure the glasses are polarized for fishing in the kayak.

I just bought some Costas on line because of the related discussion on your other thread. I'm a fat head too and knew they would be pinching my temples. I waved a Bic lighter under the nose bridge for a couple of minutes while pulling the ear pieces wide. They fit fine now. I've done this before with other glasses because I'm a, you know, fat head

My last name is Russian for "head," or more accurately, according to people who speak the language, big head.

Dad is built like his father. Short legs, long body, hands like a catcher's mitt and a head as big as a good sized pumpkin. He borrowed my sunglasses once. They would not stay on my head after, so I gave them to him. I saw a picture of him in HS wearing a football helmet, it looked like they just painted his head, that helmet barely fit him.

I am normal sized, must have gotten that from mom.

Thanks for the mental image
