  • I don't think many people look better with beards than without.

    I've been bearded in the past and I'm willing to bet I will do in the future too but it's pretty obvious that I, like most people, look a damn sight better after a shave.

    theguywithnousername | 10 Jun '09, 23:16 | X
  • I've still got issues with 'ironic moustaches'.

    Moustaches should never be ironic. Having a moustache shouldn't mean making fun of yourself, it should mean a celebration of your own masculinity. It's a concentration of all the power and fury of manliness manifested in hair on your face. A very deadly weapon when used correctly. It's sad to see it butchered so.

    poptimusgrime | 10 Jun '09, 23:24 | X
  • really?

    because i'm always looking for dudes with beards but never see them :(

    YES TO BEARDS

      • Handlebars is where it's at now

        Take the zeitgeist firmly by the hand, says I, and go for mad encroaching on your eyeballs sideburns.

  • sideburns are awful

    • so you like chinstraps?

      josh @cookieheart | 11 Jun '09, 01:17 | X
  • I hate those mainstream beards.

    Corporate sell-outs.

    Sibley | 10 Jun '09, 23:34 | X
  • I thought that this thread was going to be

    the first in a series of DiSsections (LOLOLOLOL) of the beards of various indie heroes, starting with Yoni Wolf.

    I am heavily disappointed.

    tomatron | 10 Jun '09, 23:36 | X
    • Great idea, tomatron.

      DiS should pick up on this.

      In fact, a friend of mine actually did something quite similar once upon a time for a zine or a blog or something.

      poptimusgrime @tomatron | 10 Jun '09, 23:43 | X
      • THANKS xD

        I know you're only saying this so that I'll be all "oh cool, now you don't owe me a pint"

        THINK ON, PAL

        :P

        tomatron @poptimusgrime | 10 Jun '09, 23:48 | X
  • Beards are disgusting

    Actually, they're OK, but only for old people, like Father Christmas, or my dad. People under the age of 50 shouldn't be allowed them.

    froglet | 10 Jun '09, 23:37 | X
    • ^ the bitter ramblings of someone who can't grow a beard

      tomatron @froglet | 10 Jun '09, 23:50 | X
      • Yeah :(

        My plan to run away and join the circus when I grew up - thwarted. FUCK YOU, NATURE.

        froglet @tomatron | 10 Jun '09, 23:52 | X
        • Oh! To never know what it is like to have one's own beard!

          IS THAT ANY KIND OF LIFE?

          tomatron @froglet | 10 Jun '09, 23:57 | X
  • I am just about to trim mine.

    It's currently a little unkempt.

    marckee | 10 Jun '09, 23:48 | X
    • You should keep it

      It does make you look very scandinavian. I keep picturing you in a deerstalker, behind the wheel of a volvo with a rifle.

      lemonbrickcombo @marckee | 10 Jun '09, 23:55 | X
      • Oh, I've still got it, but it's just not as straggly now.

        marckee @lemonbrickcombo | 11 Jun '09, 01:12 | X
  • would about the people who grow a beard in four days

    and can't be fucked to spend 20 minutes a night keeping it at bay

    alcoholic | 10 Jun '09, 23:52 | X
    • no need to get personal

      besides, atbay keeps a clean shave

      DarwinDude @alcoholic | 10 Jun '09, 23:55 | X
  • i like beards and the people i know who have beards, they're cool
