Yes, Don Johnson started it back then with Miami Vice, then it went away,
but now it's back! On a side note, he's now in Blood and Oil and looks so
much better clean shaven.

I'm not sure why you think that? Because it's not true.

I have a beard, it's generally seasonal though, most summers it gets
shaved off. I keep mind trimmed and short, although this winter I let
it go for months, just for the hell of it

Seriously? When was the last time you spoke with a salesman you could
trust? How are you with lawyers?

I am assuming that most business transactions would generally be an
opportunity to discover that the woman had pierced nipples. I can
handle tattoos so long as the person does not expect me to comment
positively about them. I can handle a tiny stud on the side of the nose,
but stick a ring on the nose and you lose me. I just can't take anyone
seriously when they do that. I have been on enough farms and attended
enough farm fairs that it just makes me think of bulls.

For many it's a lifestyle thing - mountain men, bikers, woodsmen, etc.

For MLB pitchers it's some kind of a seasonal good luck charm.

Think Samson.

Sure, because every time you walk into a retail store the women who have
them show you their pierced nipples. Ha.

Don's is like that but a little longer at the chin. Not too much
longer though. Call it nicely trim and clipped.

That's much the same as I do for boiled eggs, although usually for no
more than 4 minutes. I just collected a heap of duck and chicken eggs
this morning, so I might do an omelet of some sort for breakfast.
Haven't been eating a whole lot lately, first I had a toothache and
then an infection in or around my jaw... it's been a fun week and I
haven't got much done at all.

Much like my Subaru Forester - some years ago a spark plug wasn't

Exactly right Dave. My favourite bought beer is a traditional ale -
with sediment still in the bottle. It tastes great at room temperature
and doesnt have that nasty foamy mouthfeel that the mass produced
modern stuff that passes for beer has.

True also. I have one strange pairing I like - a good beer like
Coopers Extra strong vintage ale and 90% dark chocolate.

My favourite beer when I visit the UK is Adnams. It's a quaffing beer,
i.e., one gulps down ~1/4 pint at a time in contrast to the cold
lager-style beers that one sips.

I'm sure it's a choice, but...it still looks bad when it's not trimmed and

Herez a couple of very cool long beards, imo.
http://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/wen...ng-live-12.jpg

I saw them live in concert here on my birthday about 16 years ago or
so. An awesome band. They don't just play the music....they radiate
raw energy. Incredible when seen/heard live.

LOL! I used to work with a guy 30-some years ago. Each day he came to
work with a 2-day stubble. I always wondered how he maintained that
2-day look.

Perhaps she saw other attractive qualities in you, but the appearance of

For at least 25 years, wearing a moustache w/o a beard has been...well,
if the guy isn't a cop or a non-commissioned army officer, a lot of
folks see that and think, "***." That's not a big deal if one is in a
stable pair bond, or is disinterested in finding sex partners, but it
really is the case.

I think they look awful, but we all get to have our own opinion and style,
and they obviously like them too.

I don't know anyone ever who has thought that wearing a moustache without a
beard was ***, and I know a lot of people with moustaches too.

Maybe that is because you are their beard.

Maybe it's a regional thing, because there's no such implication
where I live. At all.

Why? An egg is an egg -- or not? (no experience except with chicken

Huh?

You have some serious mental issues.

You are seeking out the wrong kind of attention, oddball.

You DOLT!

It's an act, a stage gimmick.

Ironically the one member who does not have a beard is named FRANK BEARD!

http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/zz-top-s...is-beard-33216

ZZ Top mainman Billy Gibbons has revealed that he and bandmate Dusty
Hill once turned down an offer of $1 million (£638,000) to shave off
their beards. The singer, who has sported a very lengthy beard since the
late '70s, told Brave Worlds that he and Hill were approached by
Gillette, who offered them the staggering amount of money to shave.
Though still a hefty wedge by today's standards, the offer came in 1984,
meaning it would be worth $2.25 million (£1.44 million) in 2012.

Asked why he turned it down, Gibbons said: “No dice. Even adjusted for
inflation, this isn’t going to fly. They prospect of seeing oneself in
the mirror clean-shaven is too close to a Vincent Price film … a
prospect not to be contemplated, no matter the compensation.”

Soooo not true. Ever seen Dusty Hill fighting his wind-whipped beard
while trying to play onstage during an outdoors gig? I got the
impression he thought his beard to be a real PIA.

I've no doubt those beards are strictly iconic recognition. Gibbons is
getting old. Between his tribal hat, sunglasses, and beard, hard to
see the real Billy F. BUT! ...everyone knows that beard.

Saw him trying to play ona recent U2B vid. Looked like he was either
drunk or suffering some sorta dementia. Played guitar as badly as
I do.

The insanity of that one is deep.

What the heck. I have never heard such a thing and it would
be a wildly inaccurate way of determining a guy's preference,
in my experience.

Of course, just like William Lee Golden of the Oakridge Boys, but it still
doesn't look attractive to me, no matter who they are.
