Groom me [PICS]

Once again, I've grown myself a big beardy beard.

Where these tiny white dots come from, I don't know. It wasn't snowing when I scanned my face.

So. It must go.

But before nakedness ensues, there's a bit of room for whimsical pruning.

Any ideas for temporary facial hair configurations?

I am your Magna-Doodle.

You could try the 'Ra's Al Ghul' look.

Or you could let it get even fuller and shoot for something akin to this.

Looking a bit

there, g.

How about a bit of evil Al
with Mephistophelean beard?

Mourne Kransky

And is that some ectoplasm pooling with menace just below your chin there?

Thanks for that link BillR's a hoopy frood. Most of the time I hate puny humans, but then something like this comes to my attention and makes me reassess my opinions. I needed that.

Grant, click on BillR's link and check out the third from the bottom right. If I could grow a beard I'd have that one. It's like he's smiling a big beardy weirdy grin.

Just remember: it's our little secret; if you tell anyone about Ganesh touching you in your secret beard, they'll take you away from Mummy and Daddy, and put you in a home.

Perhaps you can shave it to some needle-sharp, elaborately-carved sidies?

or even

the possibilities are endless!

Mourne Kransky

Think how liberating you'd find it.

Veronica's veil? (bad joke - I promise)

What Bio K9 just did there. And a handlebar moustache.

Truly, our Lord has come again and his name is grant.

Bet the ladies love your wibbly-wobbly fingers as well.

William Sack

Grant, your serene expression reminds me of the Tollund Man.

grant

Neither you, Sax, nor the 50,000 -- nor the Romans, nor the Jews....

I quite like the Elvis one, although it's not really showing up properly (I checked the URL). That's basically what I had before I got all beardy.

I'm not sure I could do Kiefer without the hair, and that hair... no.

What about a more rightwing christian look?

What about a more rightwing christian look?

Jack Denfeld

13:49 / 05.07.05

Or an evil gothy Grant?

Jack Denfeld

13:55 / 05.07.05

Or a patriotic Grant!

grant

15:23 / 05.07.05

Y'know, that last one is *really tempting*. Although it doesn't actually involve shaving the thing off....

Jack Denfeld

15:26 / 05.07.05

I don't know. Your face hair looks too smoothy to do anything crazy or harsh with. Maybe just get rid of the stache part and trim the rest, and the neck.

Jack Denfeld

15:32 / 05.07.05

Aw hell, just shave it all off Grant. I try to do silly/cool stuff with my facial hair sometimes too, but let's face facts Grant. Good lookin' guys like us? They wanna see the face. They wanna see the naked face.

(ps, does your paper need a mail clerk or a janitor or anything?)

grant

15:54 / 05.07.05

email me clear, 300 dpi photos of yourself looking relatively ordinary and I might be able to get your face in the paper.... you'd have to sign a model release, which I think can be done by fax.

I am currently considering removing the throat hair, the base of my sideburns and the middle of the chin section to yield an omega around my mouth. Then I can obnoxiously claim to have The Last Word everytime I get into an argument.

Lightning bolts are another experimental-shape for beard removal interim I've kicked about but never implemented.

grant

00:54 / 15.07.05

I call this "The Custer."

Although it has a certain Richelieu quality I think I could also enjoy.

Lightning bolts were too hard, and the Amish/Mighty Wind stacheless look gave me the shivers.

Nice. Very dapper. All you need is a top-hat and a cane. Indeed, ol'chap, I'd be proud to be seen out with you.

iamus

10:32 / 15.07.05

I like. It has a caddish feel to it, the word bounder comes to mind. Maidens who live near railroad tracks beware!

Really, the cosplay potential is enormous.

Loomis

10:58 / 15.07.05

I've always been impressed by guys who have the gumption to shave all their facial hair except anything underneath the chin. Under-beards rock in a way that says "I have no time for the norms of polite facial hair society!"

grant

13:13 / 15.07.05

Sax knows me all too well.

Am wearing a bolo tie to work today, though. I feel like I should go to a rodeo later, or perhaps play some high-stakes poker (beware aces and eights!).
