Wow continuing thoughts flow about. Were you and are you still a marine, even post service time, for I knew many jarheads in my ten years of service. Loved them all. They are the best, and yet I couldn't have the cajones to be one.
I assume you were a USMC man of war due to the sticks in the pic engraves USMC.

Hmm, it's an interesting contest concept. I think you did a good job with it. Speaking to yourself and remaining consistent isn't easy as the word count rises.


Let's get the hair and beard off {you} and face the new year looking sharp

-your or my

"Well, okay, I said. Let me get the hair trimmer."

-"Well, okay," I said. "Let me get the hair trimmer."

Ciao!

I thought you were joking when you told me you had shaved it off.

It was long . I would have trimmed off the bush as much as possible without touching my skin

Then I would have wet the remaining short beard and put some shaving cream on before using the hunting knife.

You definitely need a steady hand but above all believe more in yourself.

How many cuts before you gave up?

As my dad said - "A man without a sharp knife is a man without a knife."
Very interesting - a conversation with your reflection who is dominant. Good work.
Good luck in the contest.

This is a great zany conversation with yourself. Did you ever shave your face? It is a very interesting interaction with yourself in the mirror. I must admit I talk to myself also.

Well done and good luck in the contest

Oh my, your sense of humour gets me every time! I am truly glad he failed at shaving with his hunting knife -- ye gads! I am imagining quite the bloody mess... (Hahahahaha!)

What a fun read!

You made me smile with this man having a conversation and then a fight with his reflection! I wonder did the beard come off in the end or did this man end up with his throat cut! I was entertained with this post, love Dolly x x x x

An excellent entry for the Zany Conversations with Ourselves Contest. This was like a lucid dream in the Twilight Zone while on medication. Which is probably why I enjoyed it so much. Loved the ending but just wish I knew exactly how bad he failed lol good luck in the contest.
