Support the Beard

[HeavyHorse]

Bearded badasses unite. This is the place to discuss all beard related thoughts and news with the folks here on the Rock Band forums. Chops, mustaches and goatees also welcome.

If you don't have a beard, do not worry. You are still welcome as well.

Win.

Currently my beard is a pretty well trimmed goatee. It was all scraggly and manly during the Caps play-off run (play-off beard style), but I shaved/trimmed it after they lost. :(

No 'stache, though maybe I'll grow one someday.

[Hanrahan89]

Beards are awesome I've had one for a coulpe years now and I never looked back.

[General Lein979]

Here's my beard (http://www.patriarchrecordings.com/imagesblog/october/thst11.jpg).That looks a tad like one of the stand in. On a side note I saw that pic of billy maize during webpage some kid threw some crazy effect on it when he was showing how to do something for a presentation.

sorry if it offends, but it IS an awesome mustache.

It's a pretty lame stache, imo. Now this (http://static.open.salon.com/files/mustache1238691443.jpg) is a sweet stache.

I fully support the beard. And when the time comes for me, I have vowed to sprout a great and mighty man-beard.

Also, the beard theme song (http://www.protomen.com/BeardsGoingNowhere/). It brings tears to the eyes.

[sa_nick]

Another beard thread eh? Guess I'll dig up the photo of me I took last year when i first decided to go a little bearded. A few ppl said I looked like Roman from GTA IV....

My beard, if I let it grow, would have a somewhat embarrassing amount of grey in it for a 31 year old. And I refuse to support Just for Men and their incredibly stupid commercials with Emmitt Smith by buying their products, so... I'll just do without a beard.

[Mystlyfe77]

I vote we have a hidden subforum for users with beards only.

[metalhead27]

I've tried to grow one a couple times, but I'm cursed with a thin beard I'm afraid, so no beard for me. :(

I'm female. I don't have facial hair. :p

Beards can be pretty darn cool though. A co-worker of mine has this awesome beard. If he ever shaved it off I honestly don't think I'd recognize him. I've never seen him without it.

[OriginZero]

As someone mentioned mustaches... will this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z77Fspd5hlg) do? :D

I'm another who is cursed with the inability to grow epic beards (or I just don't give it a fair chance). Either way, my beard's currently on the short side.

Anyways, random beard.

Funny I find this topic now since I just shaved my beard into my preferred almost!goatee and sideburns.

facial hair is cool i guess.

as long as it's not nose hair or overgrown eyebrows..

does it itch though?

But no, no itch. Only way it'd itch (I can think of anyways) is if it grows large enough to rub up against you neck or something. A lot of people trim their beards though, so that's usually not an issue. Other than that scenario, no bother at all.

A buddy of mine had long nose hair every now and then. Drove me nuts, I came close to just bringing a pair of tweezers and yanking that crap out.

Never seen big ear hair though. :eek:

long hair in general except on the head or beard i don't like.

no...it was just bothering me..and i'm usually very honest..

so i told him..and he said "you should trim it.."

so...i did. :D

In fact, I was at a buds house, and he had a somewhat dirty tv we were using/watchng. He went to the bathroom, so I run and grab a crap ton of paper towels.

Soak 'em.

And I go and actually clean his TV. I felt like I did something wrong after that. :D

WHOA. that's awesome.

i get annoyed when shirt tags are sticking out...

i'll stick in a random stranger's tag and not care if they see.

i'd want them to do it to me if mine was EVER sticking out..

[Mystlyfe77]

does it itch though?

It can when it's the right length/texture. It's not so much of a "burning itch" as a slight annoying that will cause men to rub and scratch their chin. If properly groomed (or the wearer has had it long enough), it wont itch.

is all beard texture the same? or do different men have different textures that makes it either itch or not itch?

[HeavyHorse]

is all beard texture the same? or do different men have different textures that makes it either itch or not itch?Depends on hair type. Thickness and possibility of curls are two that come to mind. I'd imagine a thick curly beard would drive one mad if not kept well.

[Mystlyfe77]

It depends on what type of hair you have, how often you groom/wash your beard, and how thick/full it is.

[Der_Lex]

As someone who has been the proud bearer of a goatee and later (and currently) a full beard for over ten years now, I support this thread.

honestly anything protruding out of my face except my nose would
bother the hell out of me.

personally, i think it would be difficult to stay clean while eating and drinking...since i'm a messy eater anyways, it'd be ten times more difficult with a beard..IF i was a man...

._.

[snwns26]

I've had a beard since 7th grade.

[NormanCoxwell]

I got somewhat of a beard. I mean its a beard. Maybe not mighty enough to slay a dragon but a beard none the less. Definitely could take out a squid or two.

I'm no Action Hank but I'm sure it could kick some ass.

Damn~ I was totally going to post a pic of Kurt Russell as RJ MacReady~ and you beat me to it~ :p

My job requires me to be clean shaven~ but if I don't shave for a few days I get a beard~ and sometimes I keep it, but not for long...

[NormanCoxwell]

I've decided that starting now until the start of the 2010 school year not to shave. Still have about 10 days of school left and haven't already shaven for about a week and a half.

I'm gonna be like Action Hank times 10.

I'll probably end up shaving in about a week, in all honesty. Still I'll try.


Oh and one more thing. Why is Beard ist Krieg (aka Beard is War) a tag? Don't you mean Beard ist Konig (umlaut on o) or Beard is King?
