Omnia Mutantur, Nihil Interit.I was trying to grow it out many a moon ago and during this abject failure of an attempt me, the ex, and meBoy went to the local ren festival (you know the one with knights and wenches and Bards). Welp one of the attractions was throw a tomato at the face of the obnoxious, loud mouth about a fifty yards away. His head was stuck through a board for you to hit, but he'd pull it out if you'd get close to him. Not 1-50 throws came close and not one person hit him in the twenty minutes I was watching.
Well the fellow having tomatos thrown at him was good at the sarcastic humor, very good. So there was a crowd listening to his jokes and tipping him via a cup back at the throwing table. To shorten this up and get to the bit about the beard, the silly bugger made fun of me and meBoy something along the lines of, "I didn't know Shaggy had a daughter." (thats the beard bit) Well I noticed that he would close his eyes before he yelled and I nailed him square in the forehead and hard. The crowd goes "ooooh". Not to be out done he comes back with another pop off about the ex being a cross between Velma and Lilith from Cheers. This time I threw it underhand to get the tomato to rise. It came up under his ducked head and I believe his nose was bloodied with that throw. His eyes crossed and he literally fell back on his rump. Crowd goes wild
He yelled from behind the board "sorry man it was all a joke. don't kill me!" As I walked away he got the last word, "Who would have thought Shaggy was such a mean SOB... ain't you givening him none Velma?" He got a $20 tip and off came the beard for evermore.
