I never knew bears were gay.

I knew they liked pick-a-nick baskets. At least on cartoons.

The hipster in my condo building has a pretty nice looking wife, although she's kind of a hipsterette.

GH85Carrera 10-30-2014 12:34 PM

Does she have a beard? :eek:

Jim Richards 10-30-2014 12:36 PM

Not that I've been invited to see.

the hipsters have begun to realize they suffer from a masculinity deficit. the beards are a misguided attempt to fix it.

Don't question those with blue warts.

Don't you work in an art dept? I thought a lot of dudes up your way wore beards.

Lot's O hipsters in baseball at the mo. No lack of masculinity.

My dad had an awesome mustache growing up, and my uncle always had a big beard. Its pretty much been a way of life for me, and I have consistently had a beard since about 2007. I feel like that was before I heard the term hipster regularly. Ultimately my beard was grown out of laziness in not wanting to shave, and now I am growing it out because I like it a little longer. My wife loves it...go figure.

OK, but 1 You're an old guy and 2 You play a bass (it is bass, right, I think that's right). I think the bass gives you a free pass on several eccentricities.

Maybe, just maybe, we've found the source of the hipster beard virus ^. It's benign in the hands of Targa911S, but mutates and is capable of airborne transmission (unlike ebola) once a non-bass player has it.

shave most of those hipster beards nd this is what you're left with. it's like a mullet for the low testosterone crowd.

targa911S 10-30-2014 01:15 PM

LOL...I love this place....yes it's bass. Bass players also have the H.A.T. virus. Now you ALL will get the hipster virus from looking at my picture..sell all your razor stocks..

Isn't november the No Shave Month?

GH85Carrera 10-30-2014 01:24 PM

I have had my beard since the late 1970s. I don't have any plans to shave. I am the opposite of a hipster.

I almost always have some form of facial hair going on. My wife and girls are used to me changing my look all the time.

Right now, my oldest says my current stache style makes me look a little like an 1800s baseball player.

Been a Hick, a Rocker, a Punk, a Mod, back to a Hick, to a Grunge, to a Kook and now, leaning back towards a Mod which is what Hipsters long to be.

OK then, See?? That wasn't hard.

Tell you what.

Dig out some pics from the sixties and seventies and look at the 'cool dudes'.
Yep. Looks just as stupid to us now as the proffered pic at the start of this thread.
But, man we were cool!
My dear wife (of 38 years) did not see me without a beard until we had been married for 16 months. She still likes the bearded (but trimmed, these days) look, although I find I tend to think of Santa when I look in the mirror. :p

Best
