Training for the Warrior Dash continues to run smoothly. Aside from a few nearly twisted ankles and outright spills while trail running, I should be in decent shape for the race on Sunday.
Perhaps more importantly, my warrior beard is coming in quite nicely, as you can see for yourself. However, plenty of folks at the Warrior Dash will surely be sporting bushier, fuller beards. To gain more of a mental edge over the competition, I’m considering shaving my head in favor of the Kimbo Slice look. Even though I’ve kept my hair extremely short for most of the past 10 years, I’m somewhat scared of completely shaving my dome. Mainly because my grandfather shaved his head one summer and his hair never grew back. Then again, I’m getting ready to lose this hair, anyways. Still, it’s a decision I’d rather not make on my own.
That’s why I’m leaving it up to you. The polls close on Saturday night, so vote soon, or give me an even better option.

Brad & I vote that you only “Manscape” after the Warrior Dash!

Your “other” form field will only allow me to type a certain amount of characters. So what I was going to say:
I think you should not only shave your head, but your entire body for the full effect. Afterward, I think you should splather (look it up on urban dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Splather) water resistant oil that will help with the flames from puff the magic dragon (amongst other creatures you will be battling). Disney just seems your level. Also by oiling down, you can fit into your warrior suit better.

If you decide to do this I’ll personally prepare you a head shaving starter kit with all the products we talked about the other day.

First, Aunt C says she thinks you look good with the beard. Now, regarding the whole shaved head thing, I say go for it. You can definitely pull off the look. More importantly, though, you mentioned the possibility of a mental edge over your opponents, so here’s what you do: Shave that head, get yourself a few lollipops, then walk amongst your opponents this Sunday, look them in the eye, and say, “Who loves ya, Baby?” That’ll confuse the crap out of them, to the extent that you’ll be able to dash right by them in the Warrior Dash. Oh, and trust me, you’re not the only one who’s spent some time wondering how big a part genetics played in your grandfather’s (my father’s) hair not growing back that summer.

I forgot to add that Aunt C and I agree that whenever you check the final balloting on whether you should shave your head, Carie’s vote should count fifty-one-percent.

Agreed.

Bic it! Seriously, with that beard and a shaved dome you’ll look like an MMA fighter. Nobody will mess with you at all.

You should shave your head and then glue the clippings to your face. You’ll look like wolfboy and scare the heck out of the competition. http://www.listentome.net/stuff97.php
