Gents of the Lounge: Facial Hair?

[Bake]

OK, "gents of the Lounge" might be a bit of a stretch, but what the hey ...

I sport a goatee and moustache. What about the rest of you gentlemen?

1. None

Due to genetics and an underactive pituitary gland (long story), I cannot grow much facial hair. It grows in "patchy" at best, and makes me look like a psycho serial killer at worst. Therefore, I'm clean-shaven. Which also works out, because I only have to shave every other day, and I tend to look younger than I actually am.

[geardaddy]

2. Nope.

Not at the moment.

[Swede]

3. Clean shaven.

I used to grow sideburns and a mustachio,I looked like a mexican villain from an old movie.

[eyepaddle]

4. Full beard and moustache, both trimmed very short

I tend to prefer having facial hair.

[ghostsofgiants]

5. None.

The occasional bit of scruff when I get lazy, but I hate facial hair in general.

6. I think I may have seen y'all play at the Alumni House a long time ago.

Like a couple of years ago.

How is Brooks and Baker going to go on with you moving and all?

[Bake]

13. Well, that will be a bit difficult ...

We did a gig at the Alumni House, probably a couple of years ago now.

We're at Hal & Mal's tomorrow night, 8 PM. Check out our web page, http://www.brooksandbaker.com.

:hi:

17. I wish I could go! I need a babysitter and all.

I had my fun day last Saturday at the parade! Craziness I tell ya! Maybe I can come see y'all before you leave!

[Bake]

19. We've got several gigs between now and the end of June

Looks like that's going to be the Big Move. I do, however, have a number of picker friends in Louisville, so I expect to keep playing!

Bake

[Shell Beau]

20. The music must go on!

Do you have a favorite local band around here? Besides your own band of course!

[Bake]

25. The Pates are good.

Top 40/Rock, and the keyboard player can sound just dead-on like Gregg Allman.

Jedi Clampett, just for the name alone!

There are lots of excellent musicians in the area.

[Shell Beau]

48. I am an Eddie Cotton fan myself!

[rurallib]

7. Moustache - can't grow much else

something to do with my big brother a can of gas and a match when I was little.

[bluesbassman]

8. Moustache,

goatee before it turned grey.

[Bake]

14. Shoot, my goat is getting whiter by the day!

Before long I'll look like Col. Sanders.

Bake

[bluesbassman]

22. Problem is mine still has dark streaks, I look like a mule deer's butt!

No offense to the mule deer.:rofl:

[NJmaverick]

9. Moustache, I had a beard for a decade but I shaved it

it was going gray and it limited my ability to wear N-95 masks and SCBAs.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

54. I have been fitted for N-95 for work.

You? :shrug:

My Scuba mask is packed up somewhere, been a Long time. Too Long :(

I haven't had to wear mine and, I never knew there were so many types until I googled for a pic:

[NJmaverick]

56. I have been fitted and I am even certified to do the fit tests

That particular model looks like it might accommodate some beards, but it requires special orders. I have had to wear mine in cases of patients with possible TB or meningitis. I have been fitted and trained on a variety of other types of respirators and supplied air breathing apparatus. Haven't had to use those types in anything but drills.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

58. so weird --

I thought you were a Lawyer.

[NJmaverick]

59. Nope

I started out with a degree in engineering and became a director of facilities management of a hospital. That involved maintaining buildings, the complex systems that support a hospital, managing a staff of 30+ and knowing all the various codes (including the extensive fire codes).

After college I also volunteered in an emergency and rescue squad and have spent over 2 decades and an EMT and a heavy rescue tech.

I left the hospital business when it was clear that hospitals were going to be seriously hurting due to the changing economic conditions. Government cut backs and HMOs have been killing them.

So I took my ability to maintain systems and went back to school to become a IT person specializing in network and desktop support.

Since then I have found myself working in small public health agency. I have since took to wearing to more hats. Besides being the IT coordinator I am also the Public Health Emergency Notification System Coordinator and I am a Medical Reserve Corp Coordinator.

I guess you could say I am a jack of all trades, or someone that doesn't stick to one thing very well.

Tell me about it!:o

yeah, me too. :)

[NJmaverick]

62. Were you in the hospital business?

What do you do now?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

63. Long story

Have to leave for work now...at a Rehab Facility. Nice chatting. :hi:

[NJmaverick]

64. I hope to hear that long story

:-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Full beard and moustache

Both are kept trimmed.



On April 8, the chin whiskers come off. Personal tradition. :)

[Rhythm]

31. Why April 8th in particular?

You've got me curious here?

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. Opening Day

:bounce:

[Rhythm]

35. Shoulda figured :-)

:hi:

[MrScorpio]

11. Yep, I've worn a moustache since the late eighties...

And a goatee since I've retired

Facial hair forever!

[Bake]

16. That's what I'm talkin' about!

I guess I'll shave if I have to, for a job interview, but I'd really rather not.

Bake

[SacredCow]

12. Same as you...

aka: Van Dyke

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. Clean-shaven, but I can grow a beard in a few days.

Years ago, I actually went with that look for awhile.

[mainegreen]

18. I bring my armpit hair up to form a french moustache.

Someone had to say it.

[Lucian]

21. I have a trimmed goatee.

[seemunkee]

23. mustche and goatee

I should probably shave it off sometime so my kids can see my without it. At 20 and 22 I think they are old enough to handle the horror.

[TZ]

24. I'm so tempted to do a copycat for the ladies...

but not about FACIAL hair...:evilgrin:

[Bake]

27. Do it! I double-dog dare you.

Triple-dog dare!!

Bake

[bluesbassman]

30. Slight breech of etiquette there Bake...

Going straight to the triple dog dare.:rofl:

[Bake]

45. I note with some interest that TZ hasn't taken up the dare so far ...

Surprising, I tell ya!

:hi:

Bake

[TZ]

49. lol

I've stirred up enough shit for a couple of days....;)

[Bake]

50. Talk! You're all talk!

Hi, TZ!

:hi:

Bake

[TZ]

52. And you

are being an insensitive asshole! :P J/k :hi:

[Aristus]

26. Me, with and without:

[limit18]

28. Moustache

[Tripper11]

29. goateeeeee!

It's actually about an inch/inch and a half longer then this picture

[bigwillq]

32. Not intentionally.

I shave every other day. I have some stumble, though, on off days.

[MotorCityMan]

33. I have had a mustache since I first grew one at 17

I've never shaved it off.

For awhile I was doing the "soul patch" look, just because I thought it looked so cool on the actors on "Deadwood".

Currently growing my goatee back. I wish I could grow a full, thick beard, but only my mustache and goatee grow in good.

[gmoney]

36. moustache/chin hair...

a lot of folks call it a goatee, it may technically be a van dyke, or it's basically a beard without the chunks along the sides of the jaw. Can you see it in my avatar?

[Sky Masterson]

37. No facial hair for me

I'm smooth shaven

[greendog]

38. Full beard trimmed short.

I've had the mustache since '76.

[LostInAnomie]

39. I always sport the two days growth goatee.

Once I get past the two day growth it becomes obvious how shitty my goatee really is.

[OwnedByFerrets]

40. Full beard for 32 yrs now

My wife wouldnt know me without it.:evilgrin:

[BikeWriter]

41. Look up Beard in a reference book to see my picture!

[tjwmason]

42. No - never

The only time I don't shave is if I'm ill - I've got a strong aversion to facial hair.

[taterguy]

43. Never say never

If you ever have an accident that leaves facial scars you might change your mind

[kwassa]

44. Eyebrows

and beard.

[Naturyl]

46. Beard and all.

I only shave occasionally, usually when asked to for some reason.

Otherwise, why bother?

[Greyskye]

47. van dyke

[Blue_Tires]

51. unshaven

but i mix things up from time to time and sometimes get a goatee

[PRETZEL]

53. I've had a moustache since college,

grew a goatee when I decided to shave my head.

[plcdude]

55. full beard

kept short and greying.

[kentauros]

57. Yep!

Mustache and what I call a goatee, whether that's the "proper" terminology or not. Think Frank Zappa for that little tuft under the lower lip, only about an inch long of mixed brown and red hairs :)

[bikebloke]

60. Shaved

Long ago, when I was bearded. a woman friend said I looked better shaved. I guess I took it to heart - not that it improved my dating life. Though the past few winters, I'll let it grow for about a week before buzzing it off.

[harmonicon]

65. beard

I keep it trimmed

that's all - nothing special
