I met Epic Beard guy today

AckwelFoley

I was talking to this guy today in work, he came into the place where i work. I was casually chatting him when in the course of the conversation he was telling me he had arthritis and was crippled with it for the last 25 years or so - now this was something that i have an interest in due to the fact someone close to me suffers very badly with the same condition and they are only in their 20's - so this man being in his 50s was something of a snapshot of what my friends will have to deal with. He was telling me he has pins here there, replaced knees, 1 replaced elbow and no foot

Anyhow in the casual discussion with the man about the pain of arthritis, i mentioned that i do have, for the last few years arthritis in the joint of my big toe -he looks at me and said "oh whip it off, fcuk it you don't need it - it'd be the best thing you ever do - it'd never bother you again"

- i don't know which i wanted more, to change my name to the same as his, grow an epic beard like him or get my picture taken with him, but this guy was truly bulletproof in my eyes - Look, I'm no pussy, but the thought of getting one of my toes removed, particularly the big one (considering Ive only 2) freaks me out a little - this guy viewed the loss of a big toe on par with getting a tooth pulled.

Epic Beard Guy - I salute your awesomeness.

I'm a sufferer.

We've an epic lad in my unit.. Lost his leg below the knee when he stepped on a landmine in Lebanon and caused serious damage to the other.

Two years later he's informed that the other one has to come off, what does he do?... Books a function room, gets cards printed inviting us to his divorce party - informing us that after a long and happy relationship that he and his leg have decided to go their separate ways .. A week later he's a double amputee.

For stepping on a landmine we call him 'The Lebanese High Jump Champion'.

Epic high jump guy.

No foot? Not even one? That sucks.. although, it would be awesome if he had roller-skates fused onto his stumps. Then when somebody mocks him he can surprise them with his speed.

Ive webbed feet. Its hard to make out toes from that mess down in the show area

MrMatisse

Wasnt he in the Hangover?

Are we talking about Epic Beard guy of Amba-Lamps fame?

The only epic beard guys I can think or are (1) the vietnam vet who beat up that jive-turkey on the bus and (2) that guy who appeared in all those rock music videos in the mid 1990s (eg soundgarden blackhole sun).

Epic beard guys tears cure cancer, too bad he never cries.

Lots of red/blueberries and pineapple in your diet works wonders. I had 2 attacks in my life and nothing since I added these to my diet. Got it from losing alot of weight too quickly.

I've a friend who had to get his big toe off a few months ago, it was no big deal, you should do it. Bob Marley might've still been around if he'd have had the sense to get his off when he was told to too

No it's the baby toe that wee wee weed all the way home. The big toe went to the market because it was the big toe & would be able to handle himself.

Yea but he wouldn't have had the cool hair and beard either.

Taking into consideration that Snyper's location is Athlone, he really just met the mad aul fella who shuffles around the town and talks to people about any old shyte, I think our OP has been had!!!

dubtom

I don't think that's epic beard guy in the video,he still has both feet. I want an epic beard btw, a grey one, I'd look cool smoking a pipe and limping.

Lol...total opposite in our house. It started on the little toe and the big toe got "tiggled" and sent home
