Beards

[prometheus578]

"Adoration of my fans...."

Why do women always refer to me as "A Horny Old Devil?"

[Wildkat]

Ceiling fans? Table fans? Box fans?

Hey! I said nothing of age... but now that you mention it... I don't have to...

I am clean shaven about twice a year when I mess up trimming my beard. The rest of the time I have a full beard. I work outside in the elements. Warm in the winter, and a mini air conditioner in the summer.

Dan,
My apologies for having mis-spelled your screen name. I'm driving back from a weekend out of town thinking to myself that a guy from Oz would probably prefer to be thought of as Stralya rather than Strayla, right? Mea culpa. I did yank out a couple of beard hairs as an offering to the god of motorcycles and facial hair in repentence! I retire in 20 months and have a 3 month crossc country and international oddessy planned. I have thought about the possibility of letting the beard grow during the entire trip, will let you know what I decide.

Don't harm a single hair!

Those gods wouldn't appreciate it anyway. Most folk misspell my nic but that's my fault really, why I didn't go for something simple like 'Scrotum Scratcher' or Chrome Cushion'?

In the year or so before the Sydney Olympic Games, there was a TV Parody about the Organising Committee called 'The Games'

In one scene, the Head of the Committee was interviewed at home on the weekend. The scene opened with him opening his front door wearing his green and gold Australian track suit.

On turning around, emblazoned across the back where you'd expect to see the word 'AUSTRALIA' in that sort of curved way was instead the word 'STRALYA' which, when we speak quickly, is how we pronounce Australia.

I thought that was brilliant and it's been my nic ever since.

So don't worry too much about misspelling it, most Aussies who see it don't get it either until I explain it.

Enjoy that trip, pity there's no highway between here and there, I'd have enjoyed having a beer or 30 with you.

Don't forget to take loads of pics.

Dan
Carn Stralya!

100 points to whoever works that out.

Short now that I trimmed it.

Wildcat,
Whathehell are you doin' in this thread anyway?
I got mutton chops. Sorta like a reverse goatee. Think of a full beard minus the chin whiskers.

Just considder yourselves lucky that you don't have to shave your head down to a 1 every week. Don't tell anyone but I have been getting by with a 3. Shh..... I always get good reactions from people when I show them pictures of me with a beard and a full head of hair. I tell you, when I get out of this place, I am going to have more hair than santa clause.

Quick update.

I just bought a new digital camera. This is my first test pic.



As soon as the water restrictions are lifted I'll wash the Swiftcicle and post some pics of him.

Dan
Anyone got a comb?

[trbig]

Holy crap!!! Look at the size of that head!! Oops... maybe it's just the pic.. lol.

A new camera... and self centered enough to waste the first pic on YOU! lol.

Hobbyman....

You and Stralya can hang out and do the Santa thing at the malls in Dec. With your red hair, you can be the young one and Dan can be the ummm... more worldly mature one!

A disturbing mental image
