Pete… One of the first things I noticed about Portland was that it was filled with a goodly amount of barbers/salons, eyeglass shops, tattoo places…and cafes… people here like to be seen and look good while being seen in cafes etc. And yes, there’s a lot of facial hair in Portland.
Meem… I would suspect this to be so…. “he’s one of us.”
Meem… a foreshadow-ance? Or just a pretty ‘stache?
As an interesting sidenote: John Hodgman visited Powell’s last week promoting his new book. I was able to sit in on his (extremely crowded) book talk (which was quite funny)… he had a beard AND a twirly Snidely Whiplash mustache.
Indeed and agreed… not like so many of those “mountain man” beards that the baseball men seemed to have been sporting. You know who you are, …Dodger players.
Well, they do look like The Brothers Karamazov. Including Ryan in that – he fits right in! The guy with the handlebars reminds me of Jerry Colonna.
Not sure this has anything to do with your character design, considering that we’ve seen some of these fine fellows before, but I recall that this is No-Shave November again. Another reminder of my Native ancestry with its lack of facial hair. I am envious.
*Still* waiting for the interaction between Rye and Randi when it comes to light that this was all initiated by Emily…it may matter, it may not. Only time, yeah?
This comic: http://www.randieandryan.com/?comic=propositioning shows that this entire arc came about because Emily dropped Rye’s name to a friend. It may not mean anything, but I’m just curious to see.
Not as sensational as it sounds. I was at a job interview and the building had a power surge that blacked it out for a few minutes. Lightning hit a transformer on the outside. So we get back to it when the lights come on and I pointed out a laptop behind them was starting to smoke. The power source in it was on fire. It…. KIND of derailed the interview. When I was asked to reschedule there was a barrel of smoke pouring out of the keypad, so I don’t think they saved it!
I think that Portland sports a really high number of bearded folks. Barbers are really popular here as are beard trimming stores…. I think that it’s a mountain man thing… and also chin warmer, yes.
What do I think?
I think that’s a LOT of facial hair.
It was the beard that solidified the offer.

Well, he got the job. Whether that’s good or bad will have to wait a little.
I i don’t trust the Snidely Whiplash mustache….
RN… Yes, we will have to see how it plays out.

Yes, but we’ll trimmed, well cared for facial hair. None of that free roaming, all over the place stuff. Facial hair with a sense of propriety.

I’m sorry for the lack of facial hair growing abilities. I’m kinda envious myself, truth be told.

Wait…what? Did i miss something?

Thanks for the link there, Claudia… and yes, there will be some upcoming story with that. For certain.
Nothing caught fire, so it’s better than at least ONE of my interviews!
Ok i need to hear this story…

Holy Smoking laptops, Batman!
Derailed interview something serious!
More pronounced need to keep the face warm in the wintertime, methinks.
