There was a dude in my department who was so lean that you could see the veins pulsating on his temples. Even when he was just casually chatting, he looked like at any moment he was gonna head butt you, grab you around the throat, and choke the fucking life out of you.

Yikes. The Mr. is definitely one of the leanest people I’ve seen/met, but his temple-veins don’t do that. Thankfully.

I suspect that the fucken Yankee fan’s temple veins pulsate when his fucken Yankees lose a game.

Funny, we have a fat guy in our department who looks like that. Can’t see the veins, but his face looks as though it’s about to explode, or as you say, he looks like he’s gonna “choke the fucking life out of you.” Otherwise, he seems like a nice fella when you talk to him.

I knew a lady who got two retinal transplants, like a decade apart. she said the first time they anesthetized her eye by poking a needle into it directly. The second time they found a tiny vein in her temple and injected medicine into it instead. That is what temple veins make me think of.
