Boys Night Out










Amazing Ultra-Runner AndyMan Mathews paid a visit to the Boro. A-Man, the Lads and I had a big night out. Ate at The Blarney Stone. Good blackened grouper, but mostly it was about the Bass. No, not the Dan Ackroyd "bass-o-matic" bass, but Bass Pale Ale. Yum. Andy had a Black and Tan. Then on to Ivanhoe Cinema for Iron Man. Not too shabby.

Congrats on getting the video to work (and all four of you need a haircut).

superdave524 said...

...not exactly "Citizen Kane". Anyway, thanks (and, yeah, I could use a trim. The Lads definitely need a haircut. Andy? Well, I'll pass it along).

Chase Squires said...

Hell, do what I do, cut it yourself. I (proudly say) haven't paid for a haircut since 1993 when I decided $6 was too much. Bought a set of clippers for $8 and haven't looked back.

As I lose my hair, it's even mo' better, cause it's less to cut!

superdave524 said...

You wear it well, Chase. Me? I'm a little scared...

Mr. Matt said...

Ahmo cut my hair tonight, or tomorrow, soon. And Ahmo do it myself.

my friend Amy said...

My boy who is the same age as the lads, with hair just as long, came home today after a run and kayak with his friends sporting a four inch mohawk. Following my two "trims" with the clippers it is now a faux hawk so he can go to school tomorrow and not be sent home for a dress code violation. Can't wait till he's old enough to grow a beard.

Chase and Andy: My barber charges me ten bucks and it is totally worth it. You can't shave the hair off the back of your neck by yourself (without risking your life).

The straight razor (in the hand of your barber) is your friend.

Okay, Amy, you get today's "What Were They Thinking" award.

Ange, you and Chase got that bold thing working. Don't think I can do it.

John, my current hair-cutter is okay, I just don't go often enough. I'm glad your new barber is working out.

"hair cutter"?

My dead barber would've kicked your ass if you called him that.

superdave524 said...

Well, yeah, I know, but I haven't been to a barbershop in a really long time. Okay "stylist". Vanity, thy name is Dave.

Mr. Matt said...

Well, I'm looking good. Got them clippers fired up and BAM! I'm a new man (a bald one, but like the lady said, what's all the fuss over such a little thing?)

There's nothing like shaving a guy's head. It makes me giggle. And I'll do it at no charge for my poor ultra-running friends. Oh, and I can pierce ears too. Well, kinda.

It also reminds me that I had this obsession about shaving a cheerleader's long, blond locks when I was in high school. Now THAT would have been something to savor!!!

superdave524 said...

I'm not there yet, Ange, but all in the fullness of time.

Star, that cheerleader wasn't named Sinead, was she?

kate said...

I like the long hair. All the way around.

Who DO you remind me of? It's not Gary Busey anymore.

Think. Think. Think.

Who do you get told you look like?

Jeff Bridges?

And you're a fan of the neck hair too?

superdave524 said...

Thanks for the vote of confidence on the hair, Kate. Sadly, it's thinning a bit in the front these days. Not bad, yet, but better to address it while I still got some dignity (the Scoop fools noone). Years (and pounds) ago, I heard Nick Nolte (course, that may still be true, but isn't as nice a thing to say anymore), or William Hurt. Opie, when I was a kid.

And, John, have you seen Jeff Bridges in the new Iron Man movie? The dude looks like he's on steroids. Looks more like MN's governor than Lloyd's son.

No, I haven't. and I'm guessing you're not talking about Tim Pawlenty.

Don't know Tim...
