Midsummer in mid-May?!?

[greatbear]

Being that the weather decided that it would be best to dispense with Spring all together and just dump everyone into the middle of summer, I decided to get rid of my near ZZ Top-length beard (okay, it wasnt that bad, but Santa left me an email cautioning me about competing) and buzz away my hair leaving just a goatee for the hot weather. MUCH more comfy.

Now if Goldberg calls and says I am intruding on his turf, he's gonna have to rassle me first before I change anything. ;)


EDIT:

Being that this post generated a quick barrage of replies in just a short time (I call this phenomenon "bolanding") calling for a picture, I thought it best to show you that I have nothing to worry about regarding Goldberg complaining about turf invasion:

And if that happens, I had BETTER get front-row seats.

Or, at least, a chance to be the rub-down boy...

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Dibs on the latter!

[dakoopst.livejournal.com]

Um, yes...the photo does you quite a bit of good justice. :)

Mmmm....Goldberg/Gendré en sandwich... ~(_8^(|)

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

You gotta stop sitting on old wooden chairs. Doing so is hell on the circulation!

Spoken by the paragon of yummage himself!

[clickboo.livejournal.com]

Now you're ready for the summer! Woof! :)

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Oh jeez, now I got the theme from the movie Meatballs stuck in my head.

[mathan.livejournal.com]

Aaron's going to have to introduce me when I'm down ;)

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Oooh! When is this gonna be?

[mathan.livejournal.com]

Not sure yet. Scott is heading down June 5th I believe. :)

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Just in time for me to (hopefully) be at Hillside for the first bear weekend. :-/

[mathan.livejournal.com]

DOH!

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Still, let me know when yer gonna be in town.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

But is it bolandism if someone else does it?

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Bolandism is defined by the number of comments received in a post, usually inversely proportional to the content of the posting, i.e. a picture of Limahl with no accompanying text will garner dozens of comments, whereas a long, introspective post will receive but a few. Other people's entries can be subject to bolanding (note lower case "b") in much the same manner, however, Ed and his journal remains the defining source for the term. ;)

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

And one could talk about a research bolandthropologist studying misbolandthropy. Or engage in polybolandry (if digibob goes in for that kind of thing)

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a new branch of science - bolandology.

[tironsshadow.livejournal.com]

Umm... WOOF!

[rootbeer1.livejournal.com]

Looking very good!

[danlmarmot.livejournal.com]

Very nice and trim, and very beefy!

[otterdaemmerung.livejournal.com]

Kindly remember, dear GreatBearMD, that unlike all the other men lustily lauding your latest piccie in these comments, this particular quiet and unassuming fuzzy critter could indeed actually [insert verb here] with you in odd time signatures.

That is all. ;-)

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

Sounds to me like one hella jam session!

[chastmastr.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. God. We have got to meet.

WOOF.
