I work with an anti browbeating task force. There has been some talk lately of a rise in eyebrow rising incidents. We take that “browing” seriously out here on the streets. Yeah it starts innocently enough when someone is excited or they have muscle spasm. Next thing you know they have the eyebrow monkey on their back and they can’t say a sentence without lifting an eyebrow, using the “in the air quotes” or talking in italics. I am just glad that you have made people aware of this and I hope that people will be a little more mindful before they emote.

Maybe you had a piece of spinach plastered to your cheek and they were politely trying to get your attention. If I had a nickel…

ok, deja vu. i just actively raised my eyebrows today at the bank AND wrote about it 30 minutes ago. but it was more of a weird “wait, am i on Punk’d or Scare Tactics” eyebrow raise than anything else…

As one who can raise his eyebrows, one at a time in menacing fashion, I suspect you are a noneyebrow-raising person. With therapy you should get over it! Or, you can try eyebrow exercises. Good luck!!

Raising Arizona was one hell of a funny movie.

It’s way too late for me to read and comment on all your words today but I will be back to put in my two cents regarding “She-Bang” Hung. I just wanted to pop in here to say that YOU ROCK!!!! I got the book today. You are indeed a man of YOUR word! I look forward to reading it and will surely do a pimping review of it in my journal, not until the semester is over though. Thanks!

There are two kinds of eyebrow raises. The first, which I think you are referencing, is the menacing “what the hell is wrong with you?” kind. But there’s the other one, the “how YOU doin’” kind, that’s not so bad.

Did you know that in Samoa raising your eyebrows is a standard form of reply, a way to ask a question, and a form of giving directions. I know this because while I living in the South Pacific I was engaged to a Samoan. (Btw every girl should have at least one engagement to a Cabana Boy.)

I digress….

The relationship ended after a complicated set of eyebrow movements. I wasn’t sure if he wanted me to get fish for dinner or board the plane for Djibouti.

Aaah, the Samoan.

I love Girl Scout cookies.
