Movember No More

Perhaps it's still Movember
And you've lots of facial hair
But something to remember
Barbecue from ribs stays there

Alas, I could take it no more. Santa Claus and Duck Dynasty comments aside, eating ribs with the beard was the final straw. I never actually started participating in Movember this year; I'd just nod and say yes when asked instead of admitting it was a pretty long lazy streak on my part. My penance for that was a lack of proper equipment to trim a beard even of this length. I used the little pop-up trimmers on the back of my electric shaver. Imagine, if you will, mowing your lawn after a week's worth of rain using nothing but your weed whacker. So, I ended up taking it off in stages and having a bit of fun with a few pictures. πŸ˜‰

Another time I let it go long, I created a "Scruffy Scotty" game of it.

And… the day I shaved? Coldest and windiest day of the year so far. go figure! Please excuse the morning hair; after the shaving, that got chopped too. It turned out to be a transformative weekend.?

    I think you actually grew more spry as these progressed.

  2. Cliff Roth says:

    Wait, grow it back. I wanted to speedpaint you with the beard.

  3. Knut Torgersen says:

    And so does s… I have a cold.

  4. Sean Cowen says:

    I had lunch with +Scott CramerΒ +Kristi FahlsingΒ and +Blaine HallΒ today, and I can attest that it was mighty strange to see a clean-shaven Scott, especially since I myself was rockin' the old man's gray beard. ha!

    We LOVE getting together with you, Scott and Kristi, and always will!!

  5. Elisabeth Schabus says:

    You look younger πŸ™‚

  6. John Maloney says:

    I've always been tempted to try the mutton chops and 'stache look.

  7. Dirk Reul says:

    He does indeed and again, less than Mandy Patinkin than before, I feel cheated.

  8. Scott Cramer says:

    I felt like I lost a few years too; the Doctor Who shirt for the time travel fit right in. And here, I thought I wrote it for the 50th anniversary show! Lol

  9. Scott Cramer says:

    +Cliff Roth Well, I suppose we have pictoral reference to it. πŸ˜‰

  10. Michelle C says:

    I got distracted by the awesome shirt…what happened?

  11. Scott Blaydes says:

    The last time I was facial hairless was for my bone marrow transplant. Due to knowing I was getting chemo I shaved off the facial hair save for a bad soul patch. I also shaved my head into a mohawk. It was fun at first, but looked sad as the hair came out and the mohawk was splotchy.

    I grew back a full beard after the transplant, but have had to shave it down to a goatee a few times due to skin rashes due to transplant side effects.

    First of all if you think BBQ is bad try syrup. If your a man πŸ˜‰ you learn to deal with it lol
    Second the steampunk / Victorian sideburns into mustache made you look quite dapper. Should have kept that look.

  13. Scott Cramer says:

    +Scott Blaydes I am fortunate that my reasons were food and claustrophobia. Very glad to see you through the other side and bearded up!

    +Allen Simpson Ha! No syrup. I'll risk being an only slightly scruffy girly man. Lol As for dapper, I felt like I should be talking like Sean Connery in The League of Extraordinary Gentleman; and sporting a monocle.

  14. Scott Cramer says:

    +Michelle C You'd approve of my closet.

  15. Allen Simpson says:

    Yes +Scott Cramer monocles for everyone. That would take you from dapper to dashing. Victorians were all about compliments that start with the letter D.

  16. Scott Cramer says:

    I fear I would land more on the Dark side of D words. Dorky or Dumb Derrierre. πŸ˜‰

  17. Allen Simpson says:

    +Scott Cramer oh come now good sir at worst you would fall into the Rs under rakish (having or displaying a dashing, jaunty, or slightly disreputable quality or manner) don't sell yourself short my good man.

  18. Scott Cramer says:

    Oooo…. I like the R's. Ransackery starts with R. πŸ˜‰
