I'm No Hair-etic!
Karl's hair-esy has infected the once-illumined John.
Well, I'm the one guarding the faith for my daughter. (She's the one in the doggy-faced bottoms.)
Posted by Clifton at November 13, 2003 05:23 PM | TrackBackAgain...that dude's a poser!
And again...I pass the baton and torch to you, my brother!
Clifton - those bottoms are darling (can I say that to another man?)!
Posted by: John's hurt alter-ego at November 14, 2003 09:33 AMAh, Clifton's a poser too....he's only got the "respectable" trimmed kind...You know the rules: If you wanna *really* be Orthodox you gotta get the down-to-your-chest, grey tipped, scraggly monster. Or so I've heard. :)
Or you you could join those of us who enjoy giving and receiving the kiss of peace with a clean face!
Posted by: Karl Thienes at November 14, 2003 10:31 AMYeah...but at least everything connects.
The bum-out about shaving everyday is shaving everyday.
I'd trim my neard (neck + beard = neard) every few days cause otherwise, if left unkept, it would connect to the back of my hairline - and that ain't cool. Once while trimming my neard after letting it go for over a month, I lifted up Palamas (my endearing nickname for my mane) and one of my daughter's socks was lodged in my goatee!
Although…I vow if I'm ever to return to the fold (he-he) I will let it go all the way live. No trims on the sides (which will make me look aborigine) and let it connect from my hairline in the back to my chest in the front.
You know Karl…I must say that kissing on the lips is done better without hair covering them up (can I say that to another man?).
If I may be so bold as to offer a distaff opinion...
I was married to a clean-shaven man for better than 18 years, and then to a bearded fellow for the last two (should I note here that these are incarnations of the same spouse?) and I've come to have a real appreciation for furry kisses, peaceful or otherwise.
Can I say that to someone else's husband? :-)

Yes, you can say that to another man. Kids and the topics thereof completely releases us men from all obligation to male stereotypes.
Jane:
Since your comments were directed to your hairy-faced paramour, and not 'bout this goofus, yes, you can say that!
Jane...
See what Orthodoxy will do to men!?! It'll take perfectly clean-shaven men to their ascetical extreme!
