you all are in luck guess what I found in the cellar? A couple of cases of Irish Guinness! First rounds comming up, so who wanted the hand massage? Any one for meatloaf or shepards pie?
 
I grew this thing when I was nineteen (So it's older than most of the people in the Bistro, and certainly old enough to drink). Shaved it off once on a whim about six or seven years ago. My wife threatened to leave me, and my daughter started to cry. I started growing it back the next day.
I used to periodically shave, in some kind of random order, either just the beard or beard plus mustache. When I first met my wife, if I recall correctly, I had a full beard. I may have shaved the beard part at some point, but not the mustache, until one morning well after our marriage. I think I was trimming something and took a big chuck out of the mustache, so happily proceeded to take the whole thing off. Wife was still in bed, asleep.

When she first saw me she burst into tears. So end of that experiment.

I don't know if you're the same way--you don't say if you wore a beard. My experience is that I can take the beard off and, while I look different, I don't look that different. If I take the mustache off, I can't look at myself in a mirror for, like, six months without laughing.

I experience plenty enough laughter at my personal appearance already, so the beard has been a fixture for some twenty or so years now. :)

Actually, just before I met MY wife, I had a full beard, big, black, looked like Jerry Garcia. Had flecks of gray in it, and a white diagonal stripe from the soul patch to the right side of my chin. (PICTURE HERE) Like you, I changed my appearance occasionally, just because. But I never lost the mustache. When I met my wife, a six-foot-one Goddess seventeen years my junior (and a professional writer), I was beardless. Not knowing I had ever had one, she mentioned once, in our first week of acquaintance, that she hated men with beards, and that she would never date one. We ended up getting married four months later, and I will not ever have a beard again.
Smart guy.
Cheers, and have a Guinness, on me.

That sounds delicious! But I think I am on a 2 drink limit...shhhh, just dont tell anyone

I think you're right, Ange. If the curves don't lure her in then I'm for betting that it's the hypodermic that's scared her off.

I think I just lost my fear of needles — stick it to me sweetums.

I'm all about the moral squalor! And if a 'pipe wench' involves something to do with either pipe smoking or women or both then I'll be in on that too.

Make mine a shot of Lagavulin, if I may.
 
Well hello there I am Annie come and sit in this dark corner and tell me allllll about yourself we have plenty of time the the rest are on a different shift

A "pipe wench " was the name bj gave to a drink they were all conjuring up for me, since I am pipefitter by trade, or boilermaker, if that is what the job calls for ;)

See? You DO understand.
G'mornin' love.

Hi everyone, grillin' steaks tonight! Got a basketful of nice baking potatoes, fresh young South Carolina corn, early green beans from Mississippi, and a load of beautiful aged steaks. See ya' all at about five? What could be better than the first grillin' of the season?

She has that "I'm a cool chick" kind of look.
I love that picture of you, Ange! You look like a poet. :)
