Phantom Limb Pain

[Meta Like That]

So I'm feeling pretty naked right now.

I was attempting to spruce up my beard, which was once described by my peers as awesome and manly, a beard of lumberjack proportions... And then I dug a dent into it with my clippers using a #3 attachment when I should have used a #5 or 6. My eyes almost welled up while cutting the rest of it off. I cursed a lot, afterwards.

I'll have to wait a good six months before it gets back to it's former glory.

somebody hold me...

 

[iJosh]

Oh snap. I know how you feel.

All the glory is lost my friend. Unless you shave your head.

*HUGS META LIKE THAT*

It'll be okay just shave the rest of ur head hair/eyebrows and hopefully youll just start a fad

 

[bookboy]

I feel sorry for you...
but what exactly does this have to do with phantom limb pain?

Nah, my hair is the only thing keeping me from looking like utter fail. I'm not going anywhere near it.

My lumberjack beard is GONE, bookboy. Cutting it off was like cutting off a second, larger, penis.

I feel your pain. I once had a killer goatee but I passed out and woke up without it.

[iJosh]

I'm gonna have to put them up for adoption after I get off work. Or I may have to mail them back to canada. Or cook them for dinner, I dunno I'm working the details out..

Alright. I see how it is.

Do you, iJosh? Do you really? Cause I don't think you do. Probably cause I haven't posted pics, but still.

 

[iJosh]

Haha. Post pics of your deadly actions.

There's no point in taking a new one...

Spoiler: I pretty much look like I do in this crappy cell cam pic from a couple years back

'Cept with bigger nappier hair.

Also, other Phantom Limb Pain stories are encouraged.

But I don't have a problem staying on mine.

i had a nice goatee once, i shaved it off and i kept trying to stroke it for a good long while after, so i know the feeling

at least it will grow back

I thought this thread was going to be an actual discussion about Phantom Limb Pain, where amputees think they can feel pain in their fingers or hands say, or itching or tingling even though their arm has been amputated. Its theorised that nerve ending which had been severed are still depolarising and firing in the absense of a stimulus and this causes the sensation of pain in a limb which isn't there.

But more on topic, that doesn't soud like much fun. I wouldn't want to lose a beard like that (not that I have one, but if I did and liked it then I wouldn't want to lose it).
