On second thought, khandu, forget about that $100.00 loan! Upon reflection, it's painfully obvious that this thread is a thinly veiled personal attack! Your "complimentary" comment about my beard is merely a snide, backhanded way of giving me grief for my refusal to adopt the "Ishman Bracey" look.

Look, dude, I've told you before, ditching the beard wouldn't be a major problem. Trimming the mustache down to a one-inch wide stub (and a poorly trimmed stub at that) wouldn't really be an issue. But I'm damned if I'm going to take a ball-peen hammer to my front teeth just to please some whacko from Mississippi with an Ish obsession!
