Today I got complimented on my beard. Someone told me that their husband said that I was the only person they knew that looks good with a beard. Then she asked him who I was and he said, "You'll know him when you see him, he's the only guy at church with a good beard." Then, in narrating this whole thing to my wife and I she says, "And then I saw you and I thought, 'He does have a good beard,' and I asked Jemaine* if it was you and it was totally you!"
*Name has been changed to protect the privacy of the persons involved in this dandy little tale.
That was a compliment for me, "You're beard is good." I half expected them to then tell me that I'm good at finding short-cuts around this part of town.

I had something kind of similar happen to me when I had a full beard.
I overheard someone in church say something to the effect of "yeah but you can't grow a Mac Wilson beard" I think it came from an Aaronic Priesthood kid and I don't know if I should take it as a compliment (like a 'Mac Wilson beard' is a real beard or a "Mac Wilson beard" is a homeless man's beard). In any case, at least it got noticed.
Top o the mornin' to ya Mac! So, I always wondered about your 1 year beard project. What happened? I'm assuming, from your comment, that you no longer have the beard. I've almost cut mine off a few times, I think I'll wait until I lose some weight.
My project didn't last. I think I thought and itched my beard to death. I'll wait to grow my beard in celebration of my first publication (whenever that is). I'll call it my "Celebratory Beard"
I think that's a great idea. A "Celebratory Beard" would be just right after one's first publication.
Because both of you really do have marvelous beards. A friend of mine at school has a beard, but it's really scraggly and gross. Not the shapely, well-trimmed masterpiece of hair that grows upon your noble chins. Mine is really a lastima, more than anything.
But it is something. At least it's not an invisi-beard.
