Glad the show was cool. Every time they come around here, I seem to have something else going on. I would have like to see one of his shows when it was a smaller outfit...just 2 or 3 guys. They might allow a close trimmed beard, but Ive got a couple patches that (even at 30 years old) don't grow in well. I wouldn't be happy with anything other than a bushy scraggly thing that made the bare spots less obvious.
It is just kind of funny because I have pretty light blond hair, and my beard is dark red and fairly thick. There is a distinct line where it switches from red to blond at my sideburns.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
I'm in! I stopped shaving about 6 weeks ago because I was going on a ski trip and a friend suggested growing beards. I was going to keep it until after running the napa valley marathon on March 2, but then I hurt my heel (retrocalcaneal bursitis) and couldn't run at all for a couple weeks, so I couldn't do the marathon. I deferred my entry to next year, and have joked with my wife that I will have to keep the beard until I run it next year... She actually likes it, and I do too most of the time.

My hair is dark brown - but my beard is brown, red, and gray (not a little bit either). When I wear a goatee or beard - people ask me if I dye my hair.
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
O. M. G. That is awesome. If he furrowed his brow and had really bad teeth, that would be Geico Caveman awesome. I'm not currently sporting a beard, but I maintain a state of perpetual stubble, as I don't own an electric shaver and hate shaving with a blade. And I am sporting a bit of a soul patch. Is a soul patch and stubble enough to let me into the ranks of The Bearded?
I dunno, ask your mom if it worked for her.

Heh, the rest of him is pretty similarly hirsute, as well. Actually, the hair on his head seems to be sliding off to reside on his back.

Oops, zoomie, looks like you had a typo there. I believe it's spelled "hairsuit."
