"My shadow shows up at noon or earlier, like it or not. My stubble could teach the UPS guy a thing or two about timely arrivals."

Cheesy

I only shave a few times a week, but that's because I work from home. Don't have to leave the house very often.

What about Jesus and everyone else in the Old and New Testaments?

Is there any documentation that actually describes Jesus as having a beard or is this just extrapolated from the Jewish Law of the day?

Of course Jesus had a beard. Go watch Mel Gibson's movie. You'll see.

I think the point was that Jesus is usually thought of as a bearded man. I believe beards were nearly universal in that culture. Also there is a prophecy in the Psalms, I think, that speaks of his beard being plucked as a form of humiliation.

Oh, its not that I get scruffed out....its just that since I got out of the Corps in '97 I haven't had an employer that expected one to be shaven if not growing a beard, nor did I have to do any kind of public image thing.....
You probably still hate me though

As a matter of fact, almost all my fishing or mountain bike pics I'm scruffy

Clean shaven due to regulations. When not on active duty such as I am now or on a drill weekend I go anywhere from a few days to all month between drill not shaving.

Well isn't that a cute little fish.

I think I've used baits larger than that.

As have I....the thing about that fish that makes it special was that it was caught above 9000', is native, and I'd hiked about 4 or 5 miles above 8,000 to get to that lake.

Walk in the park compared with what you have to do to go smallie fishing around here.

A friend of mine who has a "weak chin" looks silly without a beard.

That's not a nice thing to say. Now go apologize to Mike Irwin. cool

I've got a lot of things.

But a weak chin isn't one of them.

No facial hair. I always used to nervously finger my mustache, and I always was coming down with the viral illness dejour. I look younger and feel better without it.

The only days I have not shaved are those when I was on deployment or training and could not manage it and when I have been too sick to get out of bed.

My wife likes me clean shaven.

I do, however, come from a line of men who could grow some serious cookie-dusters.

As an undergrad, I used to have a huge thick bushy beard like Darwin/Maxwell/Castro. Then I realized I scared some people with it, while others were jealous 'cause they could not grow one themselves. I shaved it in gradschool, for professional reasons. Nowadays, cleanly shaven both for professional reasons and to avoid pricking my lady. "Ouch, your face is sharp! Please shave for me!" It is also important in bed, as you might guess...

Mustache here, and rather bushy at that. SWMBO's been agitating for it's removal for about 6 years now. She did succeed in getting me to shave the goatee and soul patch just before our wedding. She should count her blessings she got that much.

I typically shave Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Beard.
Regarding Jesus, I think the scripture mentions them plucking his beard out during the crucifixion.

Mabs2 · « **Reply #48 on:** January 30, 2007, 08:16:07 PM »

I absolutely hate facial hair.
I love having a bald face, but the day or two after, especially if I shave off my stache the stubble irritates me pretty badly. I can't shave again because my entire face will bleed and hurt very badly. I can't grow it out because it's itchy, uncomfortable, and I just plain don't like it.
It's a vicious, horribly cycle.
I'm stuck waiting three or so days between electric shaves.
Plus I look like a freaking girl with zero facial hair.
It makes me want to kick puppies.

Uh-uh, Matt, I think you DIDN'T have a point, cause you said, "I knew that" as if you DIDN'T know it was a joke!"

Where did I put my Wham album?
