Baller Than_Bogan Posted April 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2012 I think I need to grow a long -- so long I can braid it? -- ridiculuos goatee. Not only will I look like a Dwarf just in time for The Hobbit, but it should look extra-ridiculous trailing behind me in the slalom course! So if you're likely to see me this summer, consider yourself warned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PT Mike Posted April 23, 2012 Members Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hey Than, are you skiing Johns R tourney in July? He doesn't like long haired freaks, on your face or your head. He's been trying.to get rid of me since I showed up 8 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted April 23, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted April 23, 2012 It currently looks like I'm going to miss the John's R, although I'm still working on making it fit my summer schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller scuppers Posted May 15, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 15, 2012 @ Than Bogan - If that's the real you in the picture above, why don't you use it for your thumbnail photo instead of that gargoile or what ever it is. It would add to the credibility of your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted May 15, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted May 15, 2012 Heh, that's a Warforged. There's nothing more credible than a Warforged! :) And even more so a Lawful Good one like Vrol... I actually like the concept of an "icon" as opposed to a "picture," so I doubt I'll be changing that any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted August 31, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted August 31, 2012 So yesterday, the founder of Cognex (my employer) saw me for the first time in a while. He says: "Wow, that is the most fake looking actual beard I have ever seen." I haven't posted a picture lately, but I think I'll be appearing for a few seconds in a Goode video that is coming out soonish. I'll try to remember to link to it.

Baller Than_Bogan Posted September 6, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted September 6, 2012 The Goode video is up. If you only want to see the current state of my Ridiculous Goatee, it's at about 10:54. I'm curious to hear this at home with sound. I don't appear to move my mouth, so perhaps they had to dub in somebody else saying Amazing because of sound quality problems? Or maybe I'm a really good ventriloquist!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted December 4, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted December 4, 2012 Beard Update! I am now able to braid it, although it's kinda weird how what looks like a whole lotta hair disappears into a scrawny little braid. This may be because some spots seem to grow way faster than others, so the longest part is actually pretty thin. I'll be extending this midlife crisis just a bit longer, to see if it eventually gets any thicker. I have recently been threatened at work with a Beard Intervention, though... Only my youngest daughter (age 8) seems to actually like it. P.S. My beard may now officially be more egregious than Horton's hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas6 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 @than, some of the best skiing of your life happened with that beard. I know you like to give the props to the Nano, but the goat's powers should be considered here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted December 5, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted December 5, 2012 @Texas6 True, but my first (and so far only) successful -38 in a tournament came in 2011, before the beard. So I think I'll be OK without it. I may just barely carry it into the new season for the amusement of trailing a silly beard behind me as I fly accross the wakes. But it won't go much beyond that. @SkiJay Maybe picture eventually. I am very lazy with that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrom Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 @Than_Bogan, you've gone this far with it, you may as well let it grow out to 10" and then you can cut it and donate to Locks of Love (I think that's the name). They take hair donations for cancer patients. Not sure if they accept facial hair or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted December 6, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted December 6, 2012 @estrom Pretty amusing idea, but I feel confident that not even a cancer patient is gonna want THIS hair on their head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted January 7, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted January 7, 2013 Since somebody bumped this, it reminded me that it's gone now. I had a nice absurd braided goatee for watching The Hobbit, and then I didn't feel like there anything left to do with it. To get a really heavy, long braid looks like it would take many years, and I'm not quite all-in on that. Shaved Dec 26th. I have a few shave-day pictures that I keep meaning to do something with, but probably will keep forgetting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorskier1 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Every few years I have a midlife crisis and think I need to own a 400+ hp German car. Thankfully there is a good used market for them. I am currently several years removed from my MB C55 AMG. With kids going to college, I'm afraid that particular midlife crisis is unlikely to be satisfied again anytime soon!
