Beards and kilts

[Bugbear]

Well, guess you could let your hair and beard grow very long, then take up wearing a belted plaid. Don't forget the long shepard stick with the hook on the end. You might even hang a booda bag from your belt and have a goat fur sporran. Oh, and you need to ride a hog too. I think that would work.

I've had mine for about 40 years. Shaved it off in 2002 - I no longer had lips!!!!
Everyone begged me to grow it back, so back it came.

Men that shave are hiding their "real self" by not allowing their beards to grow out as their Creator intended.

Different horses for courses, Ron. I have tried & tried to grow a beard and a moustache, all to no avail. It's better to shave, INMHO, then for me to have a very patchy, itchy beard.

My "real self" is not determined by my facial hair (or lack thereof) -- it's determined by what's in my heart.

I started my beard in the 60's, yes a rebellious statement. Then the Army decided that I should join them and the beard came off. Once I left the Army I worked as a manager for McDonalds Corp. so not beard was allowed. Once I realize that McDonalds was not a bad job but it wasn't for me and I went back to college. The beard started the day I left McDonalds.

Met my wife in college and married while bearded. After about 5 years of marriage I woke-up one day and on a whim shaved. My wife saw me started to laugh saying I married Captain Kangaroo. She was right the Cpt. was staring back at me from the mirror. The beard started back right then.

I've had it for almost 30 years so far. I'm not sure I would know who I was with out the beard.

beards go with everything, but I may be biased because every single adult male in my entire family has one.

I grew my beard when I was about 24. When I was in my early 30's I cut it off. Everybody & their brother told me I looked so much better without the beard . ... So I grew it back This is my way of telling the world to mind it's own business

Ok, so like you got your long beard and your long hair on your head, and all of it is down to your knees or so. I guess the next thing is to put it all into barbairian braids or something strange like that. Weren't the heavy metal guys tieing a knot in their beards for a while?

Now that I think of it Zack Wilds was beard knotting and now he wears UKs. So there you be.
