With 3,000 miles under my belt on the Harley, I think it’s time for this vagabond to clean up and get ready for my next adventure.
Growing my beard brought a lot of reactions from people who I knew and didn’t know. Here are a sample of reactions I was graced with:
“You look like Robin Williams’ knuckles.”
“What’s up Serpico?”
“Look, it’s Scorcese.”
“Hey Chewbacca.”
“That’s kind of sparse.”
“When will it grow in?”
It’s been 45 glorious days since I started growing my manly man beard and while it’s helped my bravado and street cred within the Harley community, I’m ready to move on.
To my beard, to my family and to the many people who I’ve inspired to grow their beard… Thank you!
Do you know someone with a beard? Here are a few more comments from “Knocked Up” that you could use. Enjoy!
“Hey Crocket, how’s Tubbs doing?”
“How did it feel changing your name from Cat Stevens to Yusef Islam?”
“See ya… Scorcese on coke.”
“I bet you do, late John Lennon.”
“How’s your quest going? For fire?”

According to Wikipedia a beard “is the hair that grows on a human’s chin, cheeks, neck, and the area above the upper lip (the opposite is a clean-shaven face).” Link.
Of course, for me it’s the “lack” of hair that grows their.
I’ve always wanted to see how well my beard will fill in. There are a lot of things to consider when growing your beard out. Like, will it be as cool as the beards the band members in ZZ Top sport or will it just be a sparse long beard that looks like the Chinese wisemen you see in Karate or Kungfu movies?
When I think of a beard, I usually think of kings or supertramps… I prefer to think of myself as a supertramp. Less responsibility and more freedom to explore different lands without having to conquer them and make them your midevil bitches for your cool new kingdom.
I started this beard on 4/15/08. I’ll keep in touch about progress. In the mean time, here is a great site about beards.
