I often find myself in public, wanting to meet another beard but too shy to ask outright if he is a part of our fraternity. It is for that reason that I submit to you my idea for a "secret" hand sign where by we can easily identify ourselves in public!

I call it "FOLLICLE FINGERS!"

EdwardTeach says:: I approve.

Poe says:: I feel like there could be some overlap between the beer brewer group and the pyro group. ;) However, if one starts i'm in.

I'm continually impressed with the level of beer brewing chops around here. I'm still working on my set up to do an all mash brew. (Also, the super cold weather has put a damper in my want to brew outside)

Poe says:: haha... woops. wrong photo. I was writing to @joepat - though the beard sign is nice.
