yay for the beard. mine is a joke at the moment, and may require some grooming.

As a beard? What are you, a gorgon?

Markelby, my encouragement was intended for a BEARD FOR LIFE, not until 'er indoors gets home. She'll get used to it! She's only afraid of the excess masculinity it deontes.

Tag, grow it long and wild.

Anything to stop the Anthony Worrell-Thompson comparisons.

I am contemplating beard removal. You can have mine if you like.

Shave your head, Tagsworth.

Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 13 October 2005 12:17 (eighteen years ago) link

AND DESTROY MY LUSTROUS GOLDEN LOCKS??? I will do no such thing!

Tag (Tag), Thursday, 13 October 2005 12:28 (eighteen years ago) link

i already have a week's growth right here. is that cheating?

g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 13 October 2005 12:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 14 October 2005 13:19 (eighteen years ago) link

markelby, grow a MOUSTACHE. they're cool.

(even though mine is now long gone.)

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 14 October 2005 13:38 (eighteen years ago) link

It would take me, based on careful analysis of family patterns, approximately 3.4 years to grow a beard. Unfortunate un-hairy genetic combo to blame.

The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Friday, 14 October 2005 13:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, Markelby. The Peacock Johnson look is just right for you!

PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 14 October 2005 13:51 (eighteen years ago) link

it took a surprisingly long time for my beard to grow in to any satisfaction, especially considering what a thicket the rest of my body is

strng hlkngtn: what does it mean? (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 October 2005 13:52 (eighteen years ago) link

T- six months until my beard comes off. Three years will be enough. I'd shave it now, but it's nice to have a beard in the winter.

Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 14 October 2005 13:58 (eighteen years ago) link

I am planning to grow the second annual Beard of Winter.

Mark, we'll be able to make a more informed decision if you draw a beard on with permanent marker so we can see what it would look like.

There you go:

i want to grow a beard but apparently puberty hasn't yet set in for me at 30. actually its settled on my chest.

bingo (Chris V), Friday, 14 October 2005 15:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Don't bother growing a beard. You'll look like a lego pirate with the hat missing :)

jel -- (jel), Friday, 14 October 2005 15:46 (eighteen years ago) link

that picture is getting a lot of mileage today! (xp)

an ex had a stubbly beard, and now when i see corny indie fuxors in half profile with stubbly beards, i think this is sexy. individuals conditioning our sense of what's sexy, c or d?

carly (carly), Friday, 14 October 2005 15:46 (eighteen years ago) link

i want a zz top beard.

g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 28 October 2005 09:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Is that ginger?

I am jess in the first post, not shaved for a week and thus I have a "beard".

How does one trim a beard, and trim it well?

knife (nordicskilla), Friday, 28 October 2005 15:24 (eighteen years ago) link

buy a beard trimmer and practice practice practice

alternately, go to a bro salon

strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Friday, 28 October 2005 15:27 (eighteen years ago) link

i am seriously considering growing one again

strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Friday, 28 October 2005 15:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I have done a 180 on this subject and think that everyone should go the grizzly adams route.

im in my 3rd beard month now, looking quite karl marx but the tash is starting to get in my mouth yuck, i need a trimmer for that (i always thought it wuz creepy seeing guys COMB their tash but now I understand why - mine certaintly gets a bit gluey after a drink or eat)

Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Friday, 28 October 2005 15:33 (eighteen years ago) link

i guess i win the BEARD OFF, then. since nobody else bothered.

what's my prize?

g-kit (g-kit), Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Some milk. Apparently kittens like it.

Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 29 October 2005 09:32 (eighteen years ago) link

i prefer Sailor Moon

gkit_yo, Saturday, 29 October 2005 12:47 (eighteen years ago) link

gear (gear), Thursday, 19 January 2006 04:17 (eighteen years ago) link

adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 04:24 (eighteen years ago) link

speaking of trim, have you scored more since you grew it out? I KNOW I HAVE

gear (gear), Thursday, 19 January 2006 04:25 (eighteen years ago) link

ummm, I'm married.

but yes

adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 04:27 (eighteen years ago) link

friend of mine told me tonight that my 4-days-and-shave routine leaves me looking like yasir arafat. he suggested going for the beard. i'm dubious. i hate shaving, but i also get itchy at the 4-day point.

yasir arafat?

gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Thursday, 19 January 2006 05:00 (eighteen years ago) link

timing! again, i have big beard. i was off sick for a week, so i've been cultivating. i'm currently sporting my biggest beard EVAH.

the kit! (g-kit), Thursday, 19 January 2006 08:49 (eighteen years ago) link

yasir arafat?

Your friend probably means "yasir arafat, when he was alive".

She's been known to sleep on piles of dry leaves... (papa november), Thursday, 19 January 2006 09:08 (eighteen years ago) link

the kit! (g-kit), Thursday, 19 January 2006 10:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I am almost certain I am shaving mine off tomorrow.

(Had it for 18 months, the last time it was cut back was about in October)

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 19 January 2006 10:56 (eighteen years ago) link

g-kit you look good with a beard. Matt just trimmed his last night for the first time in ages - it was getting positively rampant.
