OT: Anybody else going to shit appearance-wise during 'stay at home'?
Yea, I'm posting a pic of myself here. To be fair I'm not much better looking without the beard. This is 3.5 weeks worth of growth. I grew a beard back in 2000 and it was all brown. 20 years later and it looks a bit different. I haven't trimmed it all. The Michigan cap is about 20 years old.
I've been working from home for the past few weeks and have no camera on my PC so I don't have to worry about co-workers seeing this look.
Ok folks, who else?
Other than no haircut (other than self-trimming around the ears and forehead) since before Christmas, I'm every bit as ugly as I've ever been. So much so that I won't post a picture.
I should be able to craft a manbun soon. Or go full mullet.
Hey neighbor, no manbun please!!!☹️
Actually lost almost 50 pounds since January. I'm loving this time.
Congrats on the weight loss. My wife is working from home in her home office so I'm stuck at the kitchen table within arms reach of snacks. No weight loss here.
not knowing you before...if I ran into you at a grocery store I wouldn't flinch. You look pretty normal for the midwest. At least the facial hair is kept and uniform.
Personally, nothing has changed for me. I use the clippers on my shaved hair every week, have a full-blown home gym and hit the weights with my college athlete son three days a week, and hit the running trail with my college daughter the other three with Saturdays to recoup. It's been business, as usual, other than more time on a computer. BTW I like the avatar better...I'm partial to primates, not a personal shot at the OP :)
Thanks. I actually grew up in Pittsburgh, what some consider to be beginning of the Midwest (it's not an east coast type city in any case) and I felt completely at home when I got to Michigan.
Yes, primates are cool, different, but so much like us. My younger brother loved chimps, monkeys, gorillas and of course King Kong when we were kids. Right about the time I joined here on MGoBlog, he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, so in his honor I chose a chimp as my avatar. He beat the cancer. It's all gone. He did lose half a lung in the process, but he's cancer free. When he got the all clear from the cancer I decided to change my avatar here to I think it was Chancellor Palpatine from Star Wars. People gave me grief so I changed it back to the chimp.
I ended up with an MGoArchEnemy in the process that little smooth brained, foul tempered Koala, Mean Joe. So that's a bonus.
Happy to hear your brother is doing well and I’m sure he appreciates your support. Cancer is a real bitch.
Thanks. I never told him about the avatar here. Just God and me knew why.
even better story! THAT is classic. Great to hear he made it through such an ordeal. And yeah while 'fake' bears are quite popular...chimps all day every day. Slobbering bamboo eating heathens. lol..jk Mean Joe...sort of.
Thank you.
He said the chemo was brutal. I chalk it up to his indefatigably positive outlook on life. He told me he would beat it and he was serious.
Your brother sounds a lot better than you. Like actually a pretty tough dude. What happened to you?!
That's bullshit. I've never slobbered.
Allegedly Joe...allegedly. cracking me up?
Well FUCK YOU (and your mom of whom I already did last night). Also, really glad your bro is okay. Damn you for making it harder to shit on you now. Tell your one lunged brother I send him my warmest regards. His story is breath taking. Pun intended. Hate you.
Love,
MeanJoe
Ah, Mean Joe, my MGoArchEnemy. Mom said you showed up last night scratching at the door so she sent John O'Neill (her current lover) outside to kick your little butt.
She's over you.
this might not be the WWF match we deserve, but man, it would be the WWF match that we'd love to see
Your species definitely has a reach advantage when it comes to things within arms reach.
(P. S. Great story with a happy ending about you and your brother!)
You fat fuck. I love you.
Hah. Your wife doesn't let you leave the kitchen! Hah.
So you...free'd a baby lion!
I found about 10 of what you lost...
Nice! I hit 35 pounds lost this morning since Feb 24. Have about 23 to go.
I haven't had a haircut since late February, but other than that, I'm no worse for the wear.
The first week I was working strictly from home, I didn't shave from Friday night to Thursday afternoon, but I took a razor to that after 1) every time I looked down, the hair would pull at my hoodie, and 2) I was noticing far more salt than pepper. It had to go.
Not even one?
Going? Already been here quite some time.
Solid beard Dude.
I'm 62 and my new beard is 3/4 grey and 1/4 black with patches of color. It is not pretty. No pics.
My hair has gone crazy and the Wife won't touch it. It is what it is.
Thanks. Just wish I could transplant it to the top of my head.
Too bad they can't transplant brains into your hollow head. Bearded is a man's natural state. Any cheetoh eating couch dweller can have hair on their head. A beard takes dedication.
You might feel better if you quit working out of your car.

:-) My illegal substance customers are staying home. I have to drive to them to stay in business.
Is Clinton Twp. in your delivery zone? Asking for a friend.
Not at the moment. I'm in Virginia and I'd have to take a detour around Maryland to get there. I'll ask my distributor if he has any retailers in Clinton Township.
Sorry, double post. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hair got too long, bought some clippers and shaved it all off.
Think I'm gonna keep this look. Plus wearing hats has never been comfier!
I'm nearly bald on top. Let yours grow back and enjoy it while you have it.
PS, I may have to declare you the winner of the thread for being the only other person to post a pic.
I'd post my jacked bod, but I actually don't want you guys to feel bad.
Are you wearing pants?
No, just pantyhose.
Me too.
We're like brothers now.
I'm wearing assless chaps. I know . . . Chaps are always assless. Mine are extra assless tho.
Nope. Just as gross as before.
dude, i don't know who you are or how you hacked rgard's account, but we all know this is who he is and what he looks like.
you monster, what have you done with him?
I evolved, honest!
Ok, I'm busted. I got the beard pic off some porn site.
More like you grew a beard and busted off to porn bc your wife wants to leave you and do a threesome with me and your mom.
Yuck!
I'm starting to resemble Mel Kiper, so feeling quite good about myself.
have you felt an urge to dress in overly starched collars and pinstripe suits bought at the Gotti family estate sale?
I haven't changed a bit.
not since 1970.....b.c.
I've actually lost about 8 pounds during this time, which is probably good and maybe kind of bad. I've been doing body weight workouts at home and walking a lot, but that doesn't compare to hitting the gym, where I was setting some weightlifting PRs. So I've probably lost a little bit of muscle along with fat. My hair is getting kind of shaggy, but people have complimented me for it on Zoom meetings. Apparently it's an upgrade compared to when I try to care about how I look. I also only keep healthy food in the house, so the occasional crappy food I ate on the run before (fast food, doughnuts at work, etc.) has all but disappeared. The worst thing I've eaten in the past 7 weeks or so was a single piece of frozen birthday cake from a few months ago.
