View Full Version : The Beard is Dead...

So, I have a job interview here today for a marketing job.

Naturally, I go into Great Clips to get a trim, mostly because I have a $15 gift card for there. I stroll in, thinking a simple #4 trim wouldn't be too difficult, and when she asked if I wanted her to trim my beard, I said, "Why not? Don't change it's shape. I just want the beard trimmed down with a #3 or 4."

"Sure thing" She says.

I close my eyes as she lifts my chin to get under it, and when I open, I have one of those New Jersey, pencil thin beards underneith. More so, she couldn't get the cheeks even after about 6 or 7 attempts of trying.

I just told her to stop, paid (with cash, since their card reader wasn't reading their gift cards...the idiots), and went home to even everything out, in hopes of salvaging my beard.

Please don't be disappointed in me.

I gave up though. The damage was done. I had to shave all the remaining facial hair. Good-bye beard. So, I'll be growing it back out asap, which means, we're going to start taking bets as to how long it'll take me to restore the glory.

Beard V. 2.0 starts today.

Erratic performance at Great Clips. Whouda thunk it?
You've inspired me to return to my old school barber. He was more of a barber/therapist anyway. I hate going to a chain and having to redo my entire history( tho sometimes I make up an entire persona- last winter I told the girl I moonlighted as a mall Santa).

I expect updates on that beard!

Were you distracted by Front Boobery?

You have my condolences.

Now let's start placing bets as to which happens first: the beard, the rapture, or the return of Big Butter Jesus 2.0.

Thanks to Macho Man, the Rapture will not happen now.

I should neg rep you right here and now Titan. This is an epic blunder. Epic blunder.

God no. I didn't even get a hot "stylist". Kia was a vivacious, eccentric employee there. Her top was low, but it was not something I cared to see.

It's because you care that much, that I thank you.

I think this story is all made up.
You saw the picture of yourself and the beautiful ass you were with at the Dayton game, realized what a fine time that had been...and that it was during your pre-beard phase... which you have decided to resurrect.

Bad news, it won't work. You've got about as much chance as I do of having my hair turn back from white, or grow back where it's gone.

Ok. It's like spring- a new start. New job, and a fresh beard for the new season to come.

Beards have a shelf life anyway and methinks that Titan's was past its expiration date. Was there any food, small animals, parts of your girlfriend or money found within the underbrush?

The inexorable march of the follicles begins anew. Just like the penguins, it is almost poetic.

Brian Gregory and Mick Cronin (YTG) were found in the underbrush.
Good luck w/ the job search and the new beard Titan.

Such a Southerner... Never believing a Yankee like myself.

It's offered. I am waiting to hear back on a couple of other possibilities before I commit though.

Such a wonderful way of putting it. The small, woodland critters will have to find a new home temporarily...but they'll come back. It's like a bushfire. It wipes everything out, but them, something beautiful begins anew.

To hell with you. There is no damn way such FILTH would ever inhabit the sanctuary that is my face-suit. I am insulted and offended that you would link me with such vile creatures.

Not a fan of great clips.

I cut my own hair. I think it looks fine (well, at least the front).

Honest to God I just found my first grey chest hair. I've heard it's all south from here.

Nice recovery there. Apparently your girlfriend reads this message board.

ps. good luck with job

The lady actually doesn't read this board at all. While she likes going to the basketball games and even her family has started to cheer for X whenever they watch basketball... She doesn't give two shits about this site and doesn't read it (or at least so I'm told).

Geez, come to think of it, that could all be a plot. No wonder I'm in trouble every damn day.


As far as the job goes, I'm going to still see whats out there. It's a sales job and personally, I'm trying to avoid sales jobs like my life depends on it.

Let us know how it goes. Also, be careful with sales jobs. There are a million 'scam' sales jobs out there. I walked out of several interviews when I was interviewing for my first job out of college because it became apparent that they were basically pyramid schemes of "Amway" type of sales jobs. They typically are evasive when you ask about the job and when you ask about salary they tell you that "You can make upwards of $100K per year!!!!!!". Typically there was one guy, if any, that has ever made that there.

A good sales job can be very fun and very lucrative though. Good luck.

Very true. Gray hairs always move south.....if you know what I mean.

Wherever that beard is now, I'm sure it is somewhere up there watching you Titan. I'm sure you are making it proud.
