  1. Holy sh*t ! Does this mean you’re o-fficial now? It’s about time.

    But I’m also completely confused. All these years I have been assuming your avatars were you.

    • They’ve been the Giants’ closers: first Brian Wilson, now Sergio Romo. I couldn’t grow beards that full if my life depended on it.

      • Ohhhhh……. shows you how much I watch baseball. Good to see you ‘in person’.

      • When I first saw you and Jaybird both, my assumption was that Jaybird had somehow stolen your beard (and several others, by the looks of things).

        In fact, I am starting to suspect that Jaybird has some sort of Highlander Beard, vanquishing other beards on its quest to become the One Beard To Rule Them All.

        • My beard sleeps with one eye open just knowing that Jaybird’s beard is out here somewhere.

          • If you wake one morning, and fire up your browser to see a recent photo of Chuck Norris with his beard missing, be afraid. Be very afraid. At that point there will be no stopping it.

          • You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want my beard on that wall, you need my beard on that wall.

        • I admit to visiting Floyd’s barbershop a couple of months ago.

          “A little off the sides, clean up the edges.”

          I had no idea how much I missed going to a barbershop and saying something like that.

          • The size of my beard is directly proportional to when I have a face-to-face meeting with one of my managers (who all live out of town). I was on a 3-month run until last week and now I’m back to neat and tidy. So upsetting…

  2. I think this qualifies as a “shaggy moose” story.

    A moose once bit my sister…
