@Richard_Littler I’ll take the Mastodon comb-over instead.
@Richard_Littler yeah, specially when you can have it for free in @Mastodon 
@Richard_Littler lol now I'm thinking of Stan from Golden Girls and his toupees
@Richard_Littler Definitely today. Having seen accounts spend years building up to getting one, then today I saw a brand new account with a few followers and a blue tick - I wonder how the OGs feel. Twitter will be full of teenagers with blue ticks and it will be hilarious...

@Richard_Littler this is the toot I didn’t know I needed :-) language is magic

toupet in #French = the nerve, the cheek, lacking manners, but also tuft of hair …

@Richard_Littler worse. It’s failed hair plugs that leave scars up the back of your skull like Elon’s
@Richard_Littler

@Richard_Littler i laughed in real life 👏
@Richard_Littler As a bald man who dislikes Musky odors, I approve of this message.

@Richard_Littler More like hair in a can, but yes
@Richard_Littler and somehow looks even worse
@Richard_Littler
Musk is the scent of anal gland secretions from a beaver. Quite fitting when you look at what's living on top of the new owners head.
@Richard_Littler I think of it more as off-brand viagra
@Richard_Littler I'll admit I'm at a point in my life where I'd quite like a toupee 🤣

@Richard_Littler Middle aged men in open topped sports cars, toupees, facelifts and blue ticks.
