duus Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Posted September 24, 2006 If you shave it and we lose, I'll blame you. Holy cow ... if I shave it and we lose ... I lose! ... if I leave it ... and we lose ... I lose! How about this? Whatever I get blamed for, I'll claim the opposite? Actually ... even better ... we simply win. That's the one I want, hope, and absolutely expect.(still have not shaved) Quote
Stripes Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 What's with all this "if we lose" stuff? The word "if" would assert that the connected event is possible, i.e. more than a 0% probability... I'm confused! Quote

rwalling Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 The last time I shaved my chin was the morning of September 3. Two weeks into a beard, my wife insists I shave it and I jokingly said I will shave it when the Steelers lose. Well, of course they got beat last Monday but I am yet to shave it. At the same time, we all know the Bengals are yet to lose.So ... to you superstitious nuts out there ... to shave or not to shave? Shave it tonight or tomorrow, or must it remain? Does it matter? Does anyone really care? Just shave it tonight and go on? (is this the most stupid question ever asked of the zone guys?)An important lesson I learned in college...you cannot have the perfect mustache ride without the perfect mustache (which I suggest includes at least a nice goatee ;{) !!!

duus Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Posted September 25, 2006 OK, so the thread surely went down a road that was never intended!Anyway ... how could I possibly get rid of the beard before I see anything other than a goose egg in the loss column for the Bengals? Quote

You better keep that sum-bitchin beard. I'm still blaming you if you shave it and we lose that week. Quote
PMThor Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Shave it.This team doesn't need one persons face pubes to win. You know it. I know it.What if you don't shave it though? Are you going to not shave it all the way through the Super Bowl? Come on.... Quote
duus Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Posted September 25, 2006 Are you going to not shave it all the way through the Super Bowl?OK Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Ok, I keep this one going...Today when we were down 7-0 and Pittsburgh was knocking on the door to go up by 14, I realized I had seen every game at the sports bar. Here I was watching the game at home WITH NO SHOES ON...It dawned on me the last time I had done this was the Wild Card loss and Carson went down hard.I immediately rushed to get my shoes and socks on to such an extent I worried my wife, who saw me frantically fumbling with my shoes... She asked what was going on and I explained. The next play Madieu intercepted Rottenfurburger and we marched down 97 yards for the TD.My wife won't let me go barefoot anymore while watching a game !!! How's that for superstitions ??WHODEY !!!

duus Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Posted September 25, 2006 Well, with the Bengals down 7-0, my wife was set to leave with the kids to the store. She yelled to me on the way out that by the time she got back the Bengals would be winning.She gets home just as they go up 14-7.She's sitting watching the game with me and it's the 4th Q and the Bengals are losing. She looks over to me and asks me if I want her to go back to the store.Without hesitation I say absolutely not. I want to enjoy this comeback win with my wife.'Nuff said. Quote

How's that for superstitions ??WHODEY !!!You do that stuff too? I was playing Crazy Train on my guitar when things started to turn around so I played until my fingers started to cramp and then kept on.One time I was doing laundry and every time I would go check on the laundry the Begals would make good play.I had to check the laundry before every play and then watch replay...What the hell it worked.By the way Duus I hope you get calls from ZZ TOP by the end of the season.

BengalByTheBay Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Okay, I'll play too. Thinking that we would be in the road blacks, I donned my black #32 (also, I figured Rudi to have a huge day and play a key role in hoped-for victory). About 4 min. before kick-off, I noticed that we were in the home tighty-whities anyway. I know, it's the home team's discretion of which to wear and Pitt. obviously wanted to try and be in badass black, blah, blah. I just honestly didn't remember them doing that last year. Anyway, I sprinted to the closet just in time to quick-change to the white #85. As the 3rd quarter was winding down, I was feeling a little deflated. That's right, doubt had crept into my brain. As I generally do when confronted with any negative feeling of any kind in any aspect of my life, I turned to alcohol. Just beer in this case, but alcohol nonetheless. Before I know it we're jumping on loose balls like the fleet's just come in. So, now I'm confused as to whether the jersey played any role or, on the other hand, I should begin drinking earlier in the game. So, did you shave Duus. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Bengals.com has the part about what color jersey they are going to wear for the games, so I can never go wrong from that aspect... But the d*mn shoes and socks almost got us twice now...WHODEY !!! Quote
duus Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Posted September 26, 2006 I still have the whiskers. Surprise of all surprises, my wife wants me to keep it (with some trimming, of course). I guess she thinks that if she has to be married to me, at least this will help cover-up my ugliness.Man, when I started this absurd thread I never in my wildest dreams knew how deep these thoughts went! Hmmm ... but I have also worn the same orange shirt under my different Bengals shirt for each game. Oh, and strange enough, being in Pissburgh, I have been able to see every game so far this year. And it seems that whenever things turn bad during the games, I find myself moving from the recliner to the floor. Hmmm ... how in the world do I keep track of all this!!!!????!!!! Quote
