Poll for My Peeps

May 19, 2009 in Blog with 25 Comments

There’s been a lot of texting, tweets, and Facebook MSG’s sent my way in reference to the manly goodness growing on my face.

Most of the response has been “for the beard.” But, I put it in the hands of my online peeps- “To shave or not to shave?” What say you…?

  • ThePez

    I meant to say whatever Nora said…

    Now all you need is a john deer……
    id say shave it,,but really do what makes you happy!!!!

    BUT when i look at you all that comes to mind is….

    …….There was an old man with a beard
    ……who said..it is just as i feared-
    …..two owls and a hen,four larks and a wren
    ….have all built their nests in my beard…..

  • krock

    Keep it it gives you that rugged pastor,Walker Texas ranger.guy…thing…………….Yea you should shave it.

  • Theresa

    Hey Jason!! It’s Theresa. Mom said to tell you its an improvement!! Ha ha ha!! You have such a babyface as it is, it makes you look more grown up.

  • Carrie

    I agree Nora

  • Carrie

    Carrie is officially over it.

  • The Dugan’s

    I think that you need to do whatever makes your wife happy.

  • Jason

    Joe- the beard. My earlobes aren’t that big… although they used to be pretty close

    Carter- If they had beard miracle grow, I would totally use it. As yes, “the beard overgrowing your mouth” statement sounds really awkward

    Juli- Carrie is closing in on being over it, but not yet. I’m glad Noah doesn’t think I’m a fish anymore. Ha.

    The important question here is: What does Carrie say??

    I vote for you to shave it off. Paul Bunyan with gauged ears is just plain weird!

    However, Noah is no longer mistaking you for a fish, and that’s always a good thing!

    I think the beard looks good. Definately grows fast. Did not know they made Miracle Grow for beards….that just cannot be natural…one Sunday clean shaven…two Sunday’s later a full beard over growing your mouth. That’s funny when said that way.

  • Joe

    Which can you make longer…the beard or the earlobes?

  • Jason

    Leslie- We’ll have to negotiate. how about 4% and 10% for the first quarter of sales?

    George- I think that photo is simply amazing. If only I could grow it for that long…

    Jen- I’ve been practicing, “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Gimme All Your Lovin” So, we’ll see how it all pans out.

    Pez- I had to get it off my lip, it started to take over my entire mouth and that was a bad scene, but I’ll try a little harder at the “no trim” approach.

  • ThePez

    Keep the beard. But PLEASE stop “trimming it up”. When i saw you on Sunday, it looked like you just had it trimmed at Supercuts Richard Karn style.

    Grow the beard, but let it grow. Don’t try to control it.

  • Jen

    I agree with the comment about just letting it go, ZZ Top style. Grow it until you look like a crazy old mountain man! Then learn some old-timey music on your git-ar, and you’ll be good to go.

  • George Womick

    Keep it. You could look like this by Halloween: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radioassets/photos/2007/11/15/31573_2.jpg

    Seriously, Katie says shave it.

  • leslie

    I say grow it some more, then before you shave it, cut some of it…you know, to make a “hairpiece” for your “invisible” mic that you use on sun am.. then just trim it down some..
    I like the beard look, just not so poofy.

    Regarding the hairpiece for your mic, I really think you’d have something going there..think of all the hairy men that will benefit from your patented idea. LOL

    I only need 10% of the profits for giving you my idea..LOL

  • Jason

    David- Option B is possibly something I can work with. I love some ZZ Top.

    Steve- There will be a support group starting soon for “People Stumbling Due to the Amazingly Fast Beard Growth of Others.” Keep a look out in the program or email update.

  • Steve

    your beard causes me to stumble.

  • David

    I say you’ve come this far why not go all the way? Grow that thing out until you can either A: totally pose as Joaquin Phoenix stunt double or B: claim to be the new member in ZZ Top.

  • Jason

    Vince- Dude, I totally am the Brawny stunt double. I’m so glad someone finally put the pieces together. Now I can can proclaim it loud without having to continue in that lumberjack support group on Tuesday Nights. Thanks.

    Dave- One word= brilliant.

    Eli- Not a bad idea. I’m pondering it further.

    Irene- blaming the beard for your lack of concentration? Tisk, tisk friend. It’s called A.D.D. and there is medication to help with that. I feel the same way about that metal dot underneath James’ mouth, but he still thinks it’s cool. Ha.

  • irene

    pls SHAVE.

    your beard is a lot like a stain on someone’s shirt. (like the Tide-to-go talking stain commercial)

    it’s very distracting and I’m not able to focus on anything else but your beard. very scary.

    LOL to vince’s comment about you being on a roll of Brawny paper towels. hehe

  • Eli Kitts

    So I think shave, but do it in stages. Like Wolverine look, then goatee, then like Christian Bale look, then just chin, finally Soul patch. Just an idea.

  • daveherring

    don’t shave. all the great men of history had beards…

  • Vince Antonucci:

    Shave!

    You look like you belong on a roll of Brawny paper towels. Or like you’re doing a Paul Bunyon impersonation.

    I actually had a nightmare about your beard last night. Not you, just your beard. It had separated itself from your face and traveled to Las Vegas where it was chasing me through the streets. That’s when I woke up, but I’m pretty sure if I had kept sleeping the beard would have killed me (not awarded me the Publisher’s Clearinghouse big check).

    So stop scaring me and the little children of Forefront and shave.

    (Sorry, I think I came on a little strong in this comment … it’s just that the beard really scares me.)
