Have any of you guys lived through something like this?

Nah, Eaker's not the type to shave his eyebrows, but he's probably singed them off with some particularly optomistic handload.

[Eaker]

Have any of you guys lived through something like this?

You must be more specific.

Do you mean:
1) Ever
2) This year
3) Recently
4) Continuously

In other words yes.

What these guys did is akin to telling your wife that her butt looks big in her new dress.
You just don't do that! No matter if it looks like she's going to a party for Hottentot emigrants, you tell her she's beautiful.

If she comes in with her hair in flying cornrows that remind you of Medusa, you swallow your fear of being turned to stone and tell her it accents her face perfectly.

About a week of eating sardines out of a can and hugging the couch pillows will convince any man that discretion is the better part of valor.
Maybe after fifteen or twenty years while you're looking through an old photo album a man can subtly suggest that she looked so young in that photo, and maybe it was due to the fact that her hair made her look human.
