Around SBN: Which Players Will Join The 3,000-Hit Club?

Show me your playoff beard

Ben's only sporting a goatee, and while that's ok, I'm planning to rock some serious playoff finery. As you can see, my beard is already magnificent. I will not shave until it's over, for better or worse. Who's with me? BTSC beard club, unite!

Taken today, at Pirates Grub n' Grog, Oxnard, CA. This was at halftime, and I could already feel a big second half coming on.

Beard notes (to make the 75-word requirment): Started Thanksgiving Day, untrimmed since then.

Excuses

If he’s a Steelers fan, he’ll understand.
If he’s not, you’re better off without him.

Yesterday?

Man I pong’d it up Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

And I’m not talking low-ball (no pun intended) ponging…Friday and Saturday I had half the cheerleading squad come over. Turns out one of my regulars’ sister is on the squad, and once she heard how fun it was she brought her friends.

I also have football players who show up, too.

Luke Carlson (TE) is gonna make some GM a very happy man in the 2010 Draft…

Although I will say

that I didn’t drink beer (never do), I had a mixie…Vanilla Smirnoff + Vanilla Coke = insta-win.

"found dead in a gutter with a bottle of wine"

sounds like a shining example for your city. No wonders he’s so beloved there.

This year I'm trimmed

Because I have a 13-month old with a serious case of grabby hands … last year this time, here’s how I looked:

As the baby girl has grown larger, the beard has shrunk … but I figured I’d post a year-old photo as until that girl came into my life, that beard was the most treasured part of me… it offered no postseason help, however, and so it’s probably better that I remain a bit less ridiculous looking

grabby hands and spittle are not a friend of the wicked beard! shes tiny in that picture!
