I dunno, you might have to compete with Benscollectables.

Give me a month or so (it's starting to chill off here) and I'll pit my beard against both you and Cary

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang. Challenge!!

Well I did just trim about 2 inches off the other day, but when winter comes I usually stop trimming.

This conversation should be in the Manliest thread.

Oh for Pete's sake Burn! You first changed my signature a while back to something goofy, and now you're moderating with my account???

It's a moderating Burnception. Years of work have paid off, well played Burn!

I keep the goatee for the summer, but I normally stop trimming once it chills off. November is my best since that's when I grow the "buck beard"

Or, for "Novembeard"

So a few weeks back My 4 year old nephew Cal came for a visit. Needless to say. He LOVES the Collect-O-Tron. I always make sure to try to spend some quality one-on-one time with him in here, because I don't get enough time with the boy and he loves some "Transmormers".
Well this trip he started asking me all kinds of questions about Megazords. So instead of answering his questions, I thought it best to show him. So I went down into the Collect-O-Dungeon and archaeologically unearthed the majority of what I have. We had a blast, and he could handle these things way better than about 90% of my TFs. The Megazords also gained the interest of my daughters, who usually aren't that keen on my TFs. Except Beast Wars. Maybe it's the animal themes of these Zords too.
Before I schlep these bots back down to their sarcophagus, I thought I'd snap a few shots for fun. Plus all good bots deserve some attention.


I swear these things were built to survive the apocalypse. Bandai sure knows how to make a toy that can hold up to anything a 4 year old can throw at it.


This team has always been one of my favorites. Deluxe Wild Force Megazord circa 2002 They are so well constructed with lots of nice die cast. I love that red lion.





I also broke out a couple Beetle Borg toys.

Deluxe Transforming Roboborg and Boron, circa 1997


I swear each of these weighs 3 lbs. a piece. There is SO much metal on these guys you should have to register them as weapons with the ATF.



And what would a 'Tron post be without somebody riding somebody?


GIDDY UP KITTY!

That "Assassin" figure looks less like an assassin, and more like an ADORABLE WITTLE ARCEE AWWWWW!

HA, "a month or so" ... I've been working on this beast for damn near 20 years and I live in the south; remember you still owe me $10 for the LL challenge

But beard game recognizes beard game, so let's call this an apprenticeship and I'll leave this piece of advice.



Patience, scissor trim and coconut oil are your friends.

Edit: wow look at all those cool toys. I got all excited and hit quote too quick.

Oh please, I still gotta take an updated picture that at least doubles the one I actually used

Bunch of pussies waiting until winter to grow their beards. You lot wouldn't last a day in an Australian summer with facial hair.

Do it!

To do so me fake-o-sauve modding myself, I think there is a Selfie thread or what ever it's called.

I was actually referring to my Lost Light shelf, but that also works

I haven't not had a beard since 2000.
I even had it in Australia. In summer.
Only hair cut/beard trim I've paid for in 20 years was also in Australia.

Around my way ... generally above 70%.

Lightweight, we rock in the 90s all summer and not much less in the "winter".

How bout you venture on up and check out my winter? 40 below a few years ago

Well, I was GONNA ask if it was morphin time, but I guess we quickly moved on to beards.
