Only one logical conclusion...

Lately I've been noticing a lot of gray. It's cropping up in my beard and around my temples like crazy.

The only logical conclusion I've been able to come to, is that this means I'm becoming a wizard way ahead of schedule.


Awesome.

I'm like that too. I don't have a single grey hair on my 46-year old head, but they're starting to show in my beard big time. I'm figuring that if I keep my beard going it'll stop them from going up top.

A kid told me I looked like Santa Claus at the ball game this week. I told I might be. He asked if I knew him and I said yes. He was maybe 4. I had never seen him before, but I began to name all the players and coaches on my grand daughters team, and he said, "Wow", and run off.

I just chuckled.

He probably went to tell his parents about the weird old man who wanted to give him presents.

The sexiest hair color on a man...is grey. Grrrrr. That might have fueled my Nick Lowe lust as a teenager.

GS, you embrace that because you're going to look SO GOOD! You're a handsome fella now, that's going to make you super handsome, my friend!

I'm trying to stress John out just so he'll grey. ;-)

My beard turned snowy white (thank you, "Just For Men" for helping me hide this!) and my belly turned round and jolly. Oh, and I started turning bald.

Yep, I'm turning into Santa Claus!

My Mother told me I need a "rug".

Put me down for the Bill Shatner model.

Using the logic of this thread, I am turning into Jabba the Hutt.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but living is much better than dying.








Usually anyway

My beard is going grey but my hair isn't.

I'd shave the beard off but I look like a potato without it.

My head is about 80% gray... my face is about 20% gray... I'm 40 pounds heavier than I was at age 18. Yes, I'm on my way to becoming Santa Claus.

On the up side... a good, authentic looking shopping mall Santa in a larger market can make some very serious money in that Thanksgiving to Christmas time frame. I've heard in the right market and with a good Santa, in excess of $50,000 USD is possible.
