I'm now official a part of the BEARD having club!

Please post tips on BEARD care... I would like to learn about proper diet for a BEARD, how much to expose it to UV, etc.

Also, if you would like to post pictures of famous BEARDS, you can.

Thanks!

I've always liked Riker's beard, I'm kind of modeling mine after his:

RAILhead: I have decided that I will hook you up with shifuimam... I think you have very impressive credentials.

Zac Efron and Vanessa Anne Hudgens of High School Musical fame. Kind of feeling the need for a beard myself after posting that.

Dakarʒ · Nov 27, 2007, 11:24 AM

So some dude and that chick with scandalous photos.

besson3c · Nov 27, 2007, 11:32 AM

Would you guys ever date a chick with a beard?

Dakarʒ · Nov 27, 2007, 11:34 AM

I dunno. Are you guys planning on getting a divorce?

Laminar · Nov 27, 2007, 11:36 AM

Zing.

Could you caption these pictures? I don't know these people, but I do like their skin colored beards. Very sneaky.

Laminar · Nov 27, 2007, 11:40 AM

Okay, I had to look at urbandictionary.com to get the beard joke...but well done.

Dakarʒ · Nov 27, 2007, 11:41 AM

Oh you sheltered Iowans.

I imagine the other facets stem from this root.

MacosNerd · Nov 27, 2007, 12:19 PM

I'm just impressed (or scared) that paco500 new of this weird use of the term beard. Heck I didn't get it until Laminar posted the url

Here's a famous guy with a beard of some kind:

From a fantastic Kids in the Hall sketch (unfortunately pulled from YouTube):

Wife: "Time for work. Better shave that beard off."
Husband: "No, the beard stays, you go!"

Congratulations, besson3c, on your decision to finally become a real man! It is a well-known truth that bearded men are smarter, richer, and better looking than clean-shaven "men".

I didn't grow mine until after I got married, so this is theoretical, but if it were appropriate, I'd date a girl while I was bearded.

Oh wait......

Real tips: cleanliness is vital-wash both the beard and the skin under it thoroughly and often. Brush and comb (both) the beard, especially while it's growing out, so it doesn't itch and to keep it tangle-free. I use conditioner on mine to keep it soft.

And for heaven's sake, keep it groomed! "Mountain Man" beards only look good on ....... Anyway, just keep it trimmed and shaped, ok?

Final note. A real goatee looks good on about 150 men in the world. I'm not one of them. Odds are that you aren't one either. Respect the mirror and groom accordingly.

I'm in the same boat. They, the evil members of my household, buy the damned things for me. If I neglect using them I get comments.

What's worse, when I do get a rare pimple they're on me like white on rice, using their nails like augers. They're always squeezing and gouging me for blackheads.

imitchellg5 · Nov 27, 2007, 09:34 PM

I love how every thread besson makes is "official".

besson3c · Nov 27, 2007, 09:36 PM

It seems like everything imaginable is a word that means something:

rood |roōd|
noun
1 a crucifix, esp. one positioned above the rood screen of a church or on a beam over the entrance to the chancel.
2 chiefly Brit., historical a measure of land area equal to a quarter of an acre.
ORIGIN Old English rōd; related to Dutch roede and German Rute ‘rod.’

I want my threads to stand out against the unofficial threads so that there is no confusion or competition. I'm paranoid about this breaking apart the delicate MacNN fabric and ripping this family apart.

imitchellg5 · Nov 27, 2007, 09:40 PM

Maybe I'd get more good replies then if I added official to my titles? I think we should all be equal. I would hate to rip apart MacNN in a bout of tyranny of officialism.

besson3c · Nov 27, 2007, 09:44 PM

I think that is something you need to ask yourself imitchellg5... Are you official or unofficial? Are the things you say official, or do they not carry that sort of clout? For what it is worth, I believe in you imitchellg5.

SpaceMonkey · Nov 27, 2007, 09:46 PM

I'm official like Diet Dr. Pepper™.

EDIT: keeping this beard-related, I found someone's impression of the Kids in the Hall sketch I previously mentioned:

Thank you besson. I would like to take this moment to express my appreciation for your confidence in me. My self esteem is boosted. I promise my next thread will be official! We will not be bound to the mediocrity of unofficial threads!

Pfft I've been told by many women my goatee makes them become in orbit around my pants area.

Honestly I don't shave it because my skin is really sensitive there.

paul w · Nov 28, 2007, 09:14 AM

my woman would love it if I grew a beard. she prefers hairy ruggedness to a boyish clean-shaven mug.

problem is I have trouble getting through the two to three week dérelicte period, and I invariably cave and shave. I tried not shaving and got the "Um, are you growing a beard?" snarky comments at work. So now the plan is to not shave a week before the holidays, and during the two week trip to Africa and hope that a three week beard passes at work...

I glad someone else agrees with me. I'm tired of all of the engineers around campus that are thrilled that, at the age of 22 they've finally gained the ability to grow a little facial hair, so they try and grow a scraggly goatee, but it just ends up looking awful.

Sensitive around your pants area? I agree.

besson3c · Nov 28, 2007, 10:26 AM

A pubic beard or goatee would be interesting though...

A chick with a handlebar pubic mustache would be pretty neat too...

How would you know that he's sensitive down there? Actually don't tell me I don't want to know

I don't think you understand what a beard is.

brassplayersrock² · Nov 28, 2007, 11:22 AM

i went to urban dictionary thanks. sense of humor is weird mine is

G4ME · Nov 28, 2007, 11:23 AM

i have had a beard of sorts for the past few years, I go about a week or so before trimming, but i try and keep the neck under control.

Skiing season is creeping up so i might it go wild for a month or two, but the lady friend might not be to keen.

No kidding. Apparently it thinks talking like Yoda is clever or something.

brassplayersrock² · Nov 28, 2007, 12:08 PM

look... just because your mom thinks I'm better then you are in bed doesn't mean that you need to act childish.

Laminar · Nov 28, 2007, 12:08 PM

I'm leaving this one alone.
