I really prefer the beard!!!

[Bracken]

Two other people here with me both voted beard. If I was pushed, I'd have to go no beard. So far that makes it:

Beard - 3
No Beard - 1

[Ade Sundog]

Its an exciting situation!!!

I have to side with the underdog

Beard : 3
No Beard : 2 (an own goal!)

[Bracken]

*And before you say anything, she's got another t-shirt on under the first t-shirt to preserve her modesty.

Hey guys saying hi and it looks like i just walked into a conversation. well I'm confused and thats nothing new. Have a good one and I'll come back in a ocuple days.

[Bracken]

Hey, good to see you. What are you up to?

[Twig]

Yeah, now I am seriously conflicted, too! Oh, woe..

In favor of the clean shaven look: Very handsome face, the classic rugged chin, good lips which get sort of overlooked with the beard.

In favor of the bearded look: Goes quite well with hair for an over-all hirsute look, and is nice & tidy. Plus, there is that speech bubble.

Well, w0000000000000000000000t. I cannot decide! And this is an issue of momentous import.

ACK!!! NO SOUL PATCH!!! You will be confused with a baseball player.

[Frenn]

I vote beard
or a fu manchu

[Aylyn]

Beard, definitely - I love the look, even without the speech bubble. Much better than without beard. but then, I am biased, as I said before - I love the hirsute look.

[Whispering Ted Lowe comes back from retirement]

"... the tension is so thick in here at this special Benson and Hedges Beard or No Beard Masters Tournament you coukl cut it with a knife. The score currently standing at 5 for the Beard, still only 2 for No Beard. Who'll be next up to the table, and which way will they vote? ...

[pangurban]

In a whispering Ted Lowe voice Pangur-ban tells his darts joke. A player steps up to the ockey throws his firat dart and scores double top, next dart the same. The tension mounts he throws his third dart and it hits the wire bounces out into the crowd and hits a nun between the eyes killing her. Ted Lowe picks up the microphone and announces one nun dead and eighty. Now all the poor Americans are rubbing their heads in a perplexed manner.

[Bracken]

Guffaw!

I might be wrong here, but wasn't it Sid Waddell who said 'one hundred and eighty?'

He definitely did say:

"Fordham is sweating like a hippo in a power shower."
"He's majestic, just like that great big fat bloke singing Nessun Dorma."
"He's got a heart as big as Moby-Dick!"
"That's the greatest comeback since Lazarus."
"Bristow reasons ... Bristow quickens ... Aaahhhhh, Bristow."
"Jocky Wilson ... what an athlete."
"When Alexander of Macedonia was 33 he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer - Bristow is only 27"
"The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in with a portion of chips, you could hear the vinegar sizzle on them"
"Big Cliff Lazarenko's idea of exercise is sitting in a room with the windows open taking the lid off something cool and fizzy."
"As they say at the DHSS, we're getting the full benefit here."
"There hasn't been this much excitement since the Romans fed the Christians to the Lions."
"The players are under so much duress, it's like duressic park out there!"
"This lad has more checkouts than Tescos."
"John Lowe is striding out like Alexander the Great conquering the Persians"
"When I see Steve Davis I see two letters... C S... Cue Sorceror"
"This guys so good, he could play without arms!"
"There's only one word for that - magic darts!"
"Keith Deller's not just an underdog, he's an underpuppy!"
"I don't know what he's had for breakfast but Taylor knocked the Snap, Crackle and Pop outta Bristow"
"Even Hypotenuse would have trouble working out these angles"
"Steve Beaton - The adonis of darts, what poise, what elegance - a true roman gladiator with plenty of hair wax."
"Eat your heart out Harold Pinter, we've got drama with a capital D in Essex."
"Steve Beaton, he's not Adonis, he's THE donis"
"That's the créme da le milk, that is".
"He's twitching like a Frog in a Blender."
"Mark my words, this kid is a future World Champion" - said about virtually every player under the age of 30 that appears on television while he is commentating, including Colin Lloyd, Wayne Mardle, Mark Dudbridge, Adrian Lewis, James Wade and Michael van Gerwen, none of whom have won the World Championship yet.
"Not even Harry Houdini covered in rubbing oil could have got out of that one!" (Commentating on a particularly tricky pool shot)
"James Wade is a bag of nerves, like a bag of ice cold spanners in a sack."

What a Don!

[pangurban]

Yep geting me snooker and darts mixed up I love the quotes especially this one.

The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in with a portion of chips, you could hear the vinegar sizzle on them

The man is poetry in action.

[Twig]

HUH? <scratches head in perplexed manner)

There was no category for "undecided." Oh, what? Were we discussing WSD's beard or that other, uh stuff?

[Ade Sundog]

You will be confused with a baseball player.

Twig , the scores being what they are , you could either be a glory-hunter and score for the Beards , or be a plucky trier and score for the No-Beards.

Sid Waddell is an true genius

Scores so-far :

Beards : 5
No Beards : 2

Another hilarious surreal sports quote:

"He's carrying his left leg, which, to be honest, is his only leg."

"And I suppose they [Spurs] are nearer to being out of the FA Cup now than any other time since the first half of this Cup now than any other time since the first half of this season, when they weren't ever in it anyway." (JOHN MOTSON, BBC)

"Both sides have scored a couple of goals, and both sides have conceded a couple of goals." (PETER WITHE, speaking on Radio 5 Live)

"What makes this game so delightful is that when both teams get the ball they are attacking their opponents goal." (JIMMY HILL)

Hi Twig. That other, uh stuff is the genius nonsense that English (sorry, British) sports commentators come out with when they're live on the mic. Don't tell me there aren't American examples of this fine art.

Which reminds me:

Harry Carpenter at the Oxford-Cambridge boat race 1977 - "Ah, isn't

that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the

Oxford crew."
