  • Re: TRP: Free of political butthurt since 1999.

    I grow a beard each winter for the practicality of the matter. It really is nature's scarf and it helps hide the ugly. I keep mine fairly neat, not grown wild, but it still there. During the summer, I'm mostly clean shaven.

      While at work, I'm clean shaven, as company policy only allows a mustache. Movember, is the exception, where I will grow a mustache regardless.

      Off work? I usually grow out some sort of facial hair, be it a goatee or keep a short beard going for the 2 weeks I'm off. Usually due to laziness than anything. However, I have had a soul patch going for almost 9 months now, just keeping it trimmed/neat.

        I've started to see some grays in my facial hair. Getting old is full of all kinds of surprises.

          How exactly is that a surprise?

          I have found one here and there for years, still very few and far between though. I know someday it will suddenly be half white and I'll wonder what the hell happened. Then, there will someone asking me how it is a surprise.

              I noticed it a bit in the sides when I was 28. That was a helluva shock to me. I've gotten used to it now.

              I'm amazed that I don't have a bald spot yet.

                This. I have a few in my beard/goatee if I let it get too long (like now). No sunspot, still rocking the Kevin Spacey devil horns. What's funnier, is that my bro, two years my junior, has Kane hairline. It starts about halfway back on the top of his skull. No gray, though.
                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                  I won't go bald. No guy in my family as far back as we know (great great grandfathers) has lost any hair. I am supposed to have noticeable gray by now though.

                    Widow peaks are more common in my family. Mine is noticable with thinning on top. My brother, ten years younger than I, has severe thinning on top happening.

                    I keep joking that it's his own fault for making fun of my thinning years ago.

                      What's odd is, the women in my family tree gray realllllllllllllly late. I think my grandma started getting a gray hair or two when she was around 60, and my mom is just getting gray hairs now, at age 65.

                        How can your mom be 65 when you're 58?

                          That reminds me, I ran into Brent's sister at the Meijer store by my house. This woman backed up the self-scan lanes because she was trying to pay with a check.

                          Yes. Tried to pay with a check. In the self-scan checkout.

                            Even I know better!

                            And I'm only *muffled* so it's still ok. Truthfully, my parents bore kids when they were older (related to usual Midwestern standards)
