How many IISers have a beard?

taken the lead from Ken on this one. So for a bit of fun how many fellas on the site have beards of some description?

Does it help protect from the cold and insects?

Is it a barrier to the elements?

Is is a fashion statement?

Or like me it hides your ugly mug!!

I don't have a beard Dave but would it make me a better man if i had one.??

All of the above, plus it keeps me cooler in the summer (shades my ugly mug)http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/a...achmentid=3771

Good one Houghy!

Probably all of the above. But mostly coz I originally grew it to hide the scars from a dog attack! Now it's just a part of me. It changes too. Sometimes very long and scraggly "Ned Kelly' style, other times it's trimmed back to a little goatie!

It's at the goatie stage at the moment.

That dog attack: When I was 12yo a dog jumped up and attacked me, bit me in the face and tore off my top lip. I hate the scars so I hide them as best I can.

c'mon h0ughy, I think everyone needs to include a photo

I agree Paul, a photo of all voters with beards..

Yes, I am bearded...it helps cover my second and third chins...

Guilty.

Ugly mug hiding is a big plus. But I am fundamentally (don't you hate "basically"?) lazy and a skin flint, so I couldn't be bothered spending the money on razors.

Cheers

hey mine is already there Paul, and I do agree with you

astroron (Ron) · #15 11-10-2005, 11:57 PM

Mine comes and goes, at the moment it is gone but will be back probably sometime in the future

I can't grow a beard, no matter how hard I try. Best I can manage is a goatee, but it doesn't join up with my side'ees.

Something in my jeans, i mean genes

Mine come and goes too, here one week gone the next, and sometimes changes shape. Could never get the rythm of consistant shaving.

regards,CS

Is that really you Ken? You look completely different to that Snow shot!

I've taken the sides off since this photo but it's still the big goatee look. Great for protecting the face on the bike in sub-zero temps

awesome! Which one of the kelly brothers are you BC!
