Sunday Morning Church Disservice: Faced With a Dilemma

It’s gonna be a cold and gray Sabbath here in Bagwine, Ohio today.

The high will only reach 26 today, so the Drive Thru is going to be a cold and painful place for me today.

I will be spending eight hours doling out the imbibeables inside of a virtual icebox.

Brrrrrrrrr.

It’s supposed to get even colder later in the week, which has lead me to a bit of a conundrum.

I’m thinking about growing a full beard. I mean, I have had my goat for a few years, but haven’t had a full beard in ages.

It’s hard to tell from the picture, but I have let more than my goat grow in for a couple of days now.

I’m not used to it; it itches me, but a full beard could offer some protection from the harshness of the bitter cold of January and February in Ohio.

Will I look stupid in it I ask myself.? Will it detract from my dashing good looks? Will people see me as some kind of caveman?

Will anybody even notice and/or give a shit? These are the burning questions on my mind…and on my face.

I don’t know what to do. Should I go all Billy Mays on you all? I need your guidance, folks.

I prayed to the Baby Jeebus over this.


He responded by telling me that facial hair wasn’t his bailiwick, however, he did suggest that I choose a different earring for my next picture.

Jeebus is a hoot.

Well, there you have it. Let me know what you think.

Schmoop has already weighed in on the issue.

She said that if I grow a full beard, less of my face would be showing, and that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

She’s such a bitch so precious. She kids because she loves.

Well my friends, if you have an opinion please pass it along.

If you’d like to tell me that I really need to concern myself with more important things, that’s fine too.

Happy Sabbath to you all.

Cheers!!

Anything that keeps you warm sounds good to me. Put away the nose hair trimmers too (every little helps).

Me, I've given up my Russian waxes and started wearing Knickers. It's no fun having the wind whistling through your canyon once the cold sets in.

Schmoop said...

Cathy: "the wind whistling through your canyon Ha. You're funny.

I am glad to see that things have calmed down somewhat over there. Cheers to you, Cathy!!

Dana said...

I'm thinking you should just do full-on ZZ Top! Well, not ON ZZ Top, but you know what I mean!

Schmoop said...

Dana: Well, I do enjoy engaging in a little Tube Steak Boogie with hot women, as well as offering them up a hot, steamy pearl necklace, so the ZZ Top thing does makes sense. Cheers!!

Desert Songbird said...

Whatever floats your boat, my friend. Less cold is always a good thing.

Does that mean you'd go bare-faced for the spring? Oy carumba!

Shaving on a daily basis for Jeebus during Lent? Not Matt-Man!

Cheesy said...

Silk thermals..
Keep the goat

Schmoop said...

Songbird: Ya know what? I think I'm gonna keep it and then shave it off on Ash Wednesday as I begin my colon purge for Jeebus. Cheers!!

Cheesy: Holy Crap you should see me get ready for work. I wear two pairs of socks, thermals, sweat pants and jeans. And a T-Shirt, a thermal shirt, and a sweat shirt. I'll go back to a goat only when Lent starts. Cheers!!

I hate Billy Mays with a soul burning passion.

The beard sounds like a good choice for the winter.

Ken said...

You don't shave your armpits do you? Why shave your face?
I've always had this basic problem of wondering why men shave their face. Vanity...women...it's what everyone else does...supposed to...it's all shit to me, so many people live by what they read in the bible...I rest my case!

This didn't come out the way I wanted it to, screw it.

Schmoop said...

Michele: He is such a Ron Popeil wannabe. Hirsute marketing amateur, he be. Cheers Michele!!

Micky: I apologize for stirring up your inner facial hair angst. May the Baby Jeebus soothe your soul. Cheers Mick!!

Phfrankie Bondo said...

...are you sure you're not suffering from Jeebus Envy?...after all, He wore a swell beard..

Schmoop said...

Phrankie: Or...since he refused to comment on my beard, perhaps Jeebus is afraid of me growing a beard that is equal to his. Hmmmm? Manna for Thought. Cheers P-Man!!

Dianne said...

Grow it! it's just hair and you can cut it if you don't like it!!

Baby Jeebus was never a good judge of jewelry - I mean really - that giant cross was so over the top!

Jay said...

I think maybe going with the beard and letting the hair grow out would be a great idea. By this time next year you will have both a full beard and a mullet. That would be sexy.

Anonymous said...

I love, love, LOVE beards and goats both! I can't get hubby to grow either one. He gets to the itchy point and then shaves it off again. He's a wimp, what can I tell ya? :-)

Travis Cody said...

Dianne has a point. It's just hair. Grow it, and if you don't like it then shave it.

You look way better than Billy Mays, my dear Matt-Man!

snugs said...

Is no one here even thinkin about poor Schmoop? There is a lot to be said for that good ole skin on skin feeling if you get my drift, and I ain't talkin about kissin her mouth either. Spare the good woman the scratchy rough beard and keep your razzor sharp!

The Teamster said...

the downside of the full beard is it shows a lot more grey...if you want the "youthful" look keep the goat..

one solution is to move out of ephen Ohio and bring your son and schmoop with you...

I'm from just south of Sacramento and it's 57 degrees and I'm in Santa Cruz where it's a amazing 73 degrees...yes...in the middle of January.....in shorts and sandles..the girls at the beach have bikini's on and even saw one topless..(and no it wasn't Katherine)

Vodka Mom said...

shave it.

Vodka Mom said...

even better, let Schmoop shave it.

Schmoop said...

Dianne: I am gonna grow it until Ash Wednesday. We shall see what happens, and what ends up living in it. Cheers Di!!

Jay: Ha. You vixen, you. Jay I could let the hair that's left on my head grow for ten years; there still wouldn't be enough for a mullet. Cheers!!

GP: Tell him to step up to the plate, dammit. I'll keep the beard for awhile and then go back to the goat. Cheers GP!!

Schmoop said...

Travis: I am going to. I've always wanted to look like Rasputin. Cheers Travis!!

CrAzY: Oooo baby. I like how you talk. Hope all is well down there, Tish. Cheers!!

Teamster: Ha. Not Kat? damn. Eh, I don't mind the gray at all. What I have now is half way there already. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Snugs: Schmoop like a a bit of a rough edge to her escapades. Thus far she likes it. Cheers Snugs!!

Vodka: It's stayin' for now, dammit. Cheers VM!!

Lu' said...

Hubby has little hair on his head but he can grow a full beard down to the ground. He usually grows it for the winter months, full and bushy. This year he's been keeping it trimmed rather close, but not like five o'clock shadow close and it looks great. So much salt in that salt and pepper beard.

katherine. said...

grow it in a bit and let's see how it looks...

katherine. said...

ha....no bathing suit today...topless or otherwise...but it WAS in the mid 70's during the day...but low 30's in the morning...

Schmoop said...

Lu: I have plenty of salt in mine these days...And yeah, not much on top either. Cheers Lu!!

Kat: Rats. No Bathing suit. Oh well, there's always summer to look forward to. Cheers Kat!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

OMFG...grow the beard! And then go to work dressed like Moses. That would help with the lack of the Muse!
