My New Sword And Overgrown Beard


Luckily I have no one around me to impress so while I will continue to shave my head every few days (because it feels SO good on a cool pillow), it might not be until spring that I trim up my beard.

Might happen earlier if some woman would proclaim that she loves me enough to make the effort worthwhile. You have to admit that I have a beautiful bald head. I know you all want to rub it for luck. Just ask first or that luck you receive will be bad.

Dude. That's bad ass. If you get an eye patch you could be a super-villain!

That is one mighty impressive beard. I'm way jealous of that & your new sword. If I were a man, you'd better believe that I'd be sporting a gigantic fluffy beard over the cold winter months.

If I were in the Cave of Cool, I'd have to ask permission to both rub your head & tug on your beard. Through a friend of mine who can also grow such an impressive array of man-hair, I learned I find beard-tugging very soothing.

COULD BE A SUPER VILLAIN??? I think I am already one.

Sarah if you came to the Cave of Cool you could rub or tug anything you want. LOL. I got to use all the tools in my arsenal to impress the ladies.

Looks like you're becoming a Templar: http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Rosa/show.php?num=24&loc=D2001-024&s=date

Righteous whiskers, man :)

My beard hasn't been that dark since I was in my 30's. It's mostly white now. The hair on my head hasn't changed for the most part - yet. The grey hairs on my head tend to be kinked like little lightning bolts when they do come in though.

I've got a feeling I'll look like a combination of Albert Einstein and Don King when the whole thing goes grey :)

Paladin - as far as looks go, it's not a bad one to have.

When my wife and I started going out I had a full beard and she told me that she could not marry a man unless she knew what he looked like underneath the whiskers. So I shaved it off. She said I could grow it back but I kept clean shaven until two or three years ago when I grew the goatee that I now sport. It's very salt and pepper but my wife likes it and I try to keep it neat to please my baby.

Also, I used to have a few swords but I gave them away years ago, to my brother who is a sword fanatic.

I think he is still the Baron of Lionsgate so he got a lot more use out of them than I ever did.

If I was teaching or had a girlfriend I would do the neatly trimmed thing too. But since I don't I kinda let it grow free in the winter. All scraggy like I am living in a cave in the tundra with judgemental Polar Bears and kitties gaurding the entrance. Hey wait, that sounds familiar.

Looks quite beautiful when I do shave and scult down to the goatee but I only do that once the weather gets warm. I go to the old barber guy in the mini-mall near me and get and old fashioned hot towel and razor shave. That is an experience (like a fine cigar and cognac) that a man owes to himself at least once a year.

Kal said...

Isn't that like giving away your SOUL, buddy? I feel like my sword is a part of me and I have only had it a few days.

M. D. Jackson said...

I figured you for a cognac and cigars kind of guy. I'll have to add those to my list of things to pack when I eventually head out your way.

I don't think I actually gave up the swords, as I recall they were actually kind of... taken... when my brother moved out of my parent's house while I was away at university.

I could probably have a sword or two in the house now that I no longer have small children to worry about.

You really look badass. Ever tried to join the Dark Side? We have cookies (low fat cookies).

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

I look forward to that visit MD.

You wouldn't want me D.I. I would take your cookies, pretend to be on your side then betray the hell out of you at the last minute. I really can't be trusted in dramatic situations like that.

Just so you know, I have a broad sword and sweet skills anytime you need to practice your moves.

Kal said...

I knew you had your 'soul sword'. I like how a person's sword choice reflects on their personality.

TS Hendrik said...

Actually it's not by my choice. I'm more of a short sword kind of guy. I used to do housekeeping at a weekly stay inn and someone left it behind in a room. I got to keep it when no one came to claim. I actually got a lot of cool stuff that way.

Kal said...

Short swords from which era? Spartans, Greeks, Romans? L.A. Street Gangs?
