Hipster beard transplants.

[bullsneck]

Why did the hipster burn his mouth?

He drank his coffee before it was cool.

Anybody worth a cracker used to wear hipsters in the '60's Brad. h34r:
Everybody used to carry their purchased longnecks (And plonk) out of the pub in brown paper bags & the same went for their punchboard winnings.

Now there's a blast from the past! The Punchboard.

Anyone else remember that?
Bribie is probably too young?
My system wasn't too bad IIRC.

NFI what a punchboard is mate.

Is the 60's where you had sideburns on your inner thigh, or was that the 70's?

 

[goomboogo]

So my dodgy, can't be bothered shaving, beard is cool. I never realised.

 

[Weizguy]

Undercutting the market hey brad! You could buy a braumeister for that money.

Hipsters have taken over everything. EVERYTHING. Can't friggin move about town without seeing them monopolise almost anything that means anything. They are like sheep following each other. It's cringeworthy seeing them sporting all that hair in the middle of summer.

PS: if brad runs out I can provide hair, being Indian I have no shortage of curlies.

Would be great to recognise some of your excess ear hair growing out of some Wally's face. lol

I was all set to explain what a punchboard was before curiosity got me to Google it & found that Google REALLY is your friend -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punchboard
I never realised that the punchboard idea was so old. :blink:
You used to win single or multiple 750ml bottles of XXXX, or whatever if you "Punched" a prize in a punchboard containing 1000 randomly filled holes.

No 1000 was worth 3 bottles.
No 100, 200, 300, etc got you 2 bottles.
Every number ending with a zero got you 1 bottle.

Can't recall what 4 punches (The minimum allowed) on the board cost? Perhaps one shilling/10c (?) which was the about the price of a new-fangled pot in those days.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

And you needed a match to punch the number out.

They are still around, my old municipal golf club still has one but you win golf balls instead.

 

[TidalPete]

That's interesting GDAH!
How much a punch for a golf ball these days? Three golf balls if you hit the No 1000? Just curious.
You've got me wondering how many more of the buggers are still out there?

 

[brad81]

Cheers for that Pete. That sounds pretty damned cool.

Might have to start checking out some pubs again one day

 

[going down a hill]

Its been a couple of years since I've been there but what I remember it was a dollar a pop or 5 for 3. The big prize was 12 balls.

 

[shaunous]

I wish i could grow a decent beard. I'd be rocking a Merlin beard and walking around in a cloak and a big walking stick.

HOWEVER

I cannot grow a decent beard, so I grow dirty **** moustaches that people hate, which makes me keep them longer.

Would I pay $8500 for a transplant, *** No, would I ever get a transplant, *** No. Just rediculous.


Have we all read the articles about the black girls in the states getting arse transplants, as having a big booty is the new trend over there, the cheap girls are getting industrial silicon injected in by underground doctors, its wild.

 

[sp0rk]

i would spend many a weekend drinking 7's

I assume you're meaning drinking beer from a 7oz glass
This is something I've never seen (being only 29)
I've seen people drinking spirits from 7's, but never beer
I'm always tempted to get a beer in a 7 when I'm at a bar, but I always forget and just get a schooner

 

[TimT]

Reading about this on facebook, a friend (originally a New Yorker) quipped, 'how long will it be before the first beard-merkin shop opens in Brooklyn'?

Indeed.

In my younger days, when I lived in Unzud for a decade into the 1970s, a 5 or 8 oz glass was the norm, and their megaswill was served in jugs so you could pour your own into the glass. I think they have come a long way since those days.

Hoping you meant implants. Or where would those transplants be coming from?

Would give 'selling your arse' a whole new meaning.

 

[shaunous]

Haha, my bad.


Also for any TOOL fans out there, they would already know that Maynard's Winery estate is 'Merkin Vineyards'.
