A Beard, or not a beard
Just trying to waste time while studying my Spanish.

For the first time I'm attempting to grow a man beard. I was just wondering how many bearded beasts prowl about these boards. What type of comments do you get? What's the most useful aspect of having a beard (i.e. finding spare food in it whilst starving on the trial).

Women, what do you think of a bushy-faced heathen? Winner, loser? Do you personally sport a beard?

This thread was partially inspired by the countless vignettes down on the WTF Eagles last week before they lost. They were growing their beards out as a team building exercise. Perhaps TT'ers should do this!

Bored!

... perhaps just the sideburns?

Yes, Underground is still there. It's worse than you could ever imagine. But all the bearded whores have gotten jobs at the Clairmont Lounge. I REALLY hope some of you know about this place!

Since I was going camping last weekend I grew two weeks worth of facial fuzz for warmth.

I don't care to keep the beard beyond winter trips and I never could stand it when the weather warmed up in spring.

I heard about the Clairmont, but I don't recall darkening the door there. I avoided the ER at Grady, too! < G >

I knew a bunch of guys who played in Underground years ago (before MARTA dug half of it up).... Muhlenbrink's, The Hearth & Pendulum, The Blarney Stone,
Dante's.... bars long extinct.

If you've ever lived in downtown ATL, it's likely that you've been to the Clairmont and watched Blondie crush beer cans with her breasts. I had a friend who stayed there for a month after coming back into the U.S and figuring out where he was going to live. He said someone tried to break into his room every night and he had to push about every piece of furniture in the place up against the door.

you need to get the special shampoo and tiny comb

i've had some type of facial hair ever since i could grow it, mainly cause i have no chin...i've been sportin the full beard for a good 6 years now...it's a lot easier to take care of than having to shave all the time and helps keep me warm in winter...plus i keep a spare pen in there

Nah, you guys got nothing on a friend of HPM's...the dude can grow a magnificent full beard in only a couple of weeks; he then keeps it trimmed in some Edwardian style for the rest of the winter. There's even a website where beard growers compete on beard growth and style.

I can grow a beard in no time. I hate shaving, so I go as long as I can until my wife finally makes me shave.

Yep. Shaving bites the big one.

I love this beard talk. Everyone I work with is telling me that it's gross, but I absolutely love it. Although, I'll be honest. It's no easy feat for me. I have to ask the Lord to help me fill in the patchy spots. So it may actually be kind of gross.

It is a full-beard (or my version of one). It's just covered by shadow in the picture. Like I said, at this point it's patchy. Cross your fingers for me that one day I can grow a man face!

I'm telling you. His beard is scrappy.


Glad you like him. Do go see him whenever he plays. He's in the studio working on his 3rd album now. Buy 'Dog Ears' and 'Bluebird'.

I'm going to go back to sitting in the corner and growing my beard now. Enough shameless plugging.

My skin wasn't liking the shaving, so over 10 years ago I quit shaving, just around the edges now is all. I would look thirty if I shaved not 50+. And premature graying.
