Paul Allen Looks A Little Bit Different

PrintCheck the following picture from Rod Mar's excellent Seahawks photo blog.
Blazers Owner Paul Allen got a little... um... hairier over the summer.
Kinda reminds me of this. Except not really.
Did he crash the Octopus on a deserted island? Is he back pulling all-nighters in the lab cranking out code because he's sick of the new Apple commercials? Did Brandon Roy's new contract extension include an incentive provision that handed over Allen's personal Gillette? Is he so bitter over Turkoglu fleeing for Canada that he is, gasp, slowly morphing into Hedo?
How do you explain the new beard? Help me out please.

New cost cutting move in order to keep up with his fellow billionaires.
Razors cost money. Can’t afford to spend any. Got to scrap together enough to pay LaMarcus Aldridge, one penny at a time.
μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.
I've always thought he looked better with a beard
good move, imo.

Agreed. Especially now that he's older.

He had a big ol' hairy beard when he was younger, too.
I like it.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
Of course he looks way better with the beard
though this one is still a bit too short in my oipinion….
I remember being some kind of shocked the first time a saw him shaved…
The poll is missing an option:
“When did Paul Allen get a job at the post office?”
Still on the Rex bandwagon.

I'm reminded of the this commercial.

Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Does he really need an ID Badge?
Maybe that is a championship beard.
Thanks for the clock!
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Senility setting in?
I don’t remember him doing anything in Sunday’s game for him to get the “game ball.”
As I said before, I never repeat myself.
Hairy faces for everyone, please.
Disclaimer: everything I know about basketball I learned on Blazersedge.
It's his Popovich look.
Paul’s going to take over coaching the Blazers when Nate leaves to coach the Lakers. It’s his money, his team, and his championship run. Plus he’s got to do it before Cuban does!
His game plan is to get the ball to Brandon.

He looks more like "Cousin It" to me.
Once he shaved he resembled a very short version of Lurch. I think I just dated myself.
i know roodie p and i
are glad to see a solid beard in the org. it’d be great if the whole team started playoff beards.. tomorrow.
GG MFer!

That Seahawks photo blog is great
Nice huge pictures, not cluttered with a lot of text or other visual garbage. Very clean. A nice alternative to slideshows full of smaller pictures. I’d love to see something like that for the Blazers. Is there one out there and I’ve missed it?
Oh come on guys....
he’s been MUCH hairier in the past. Here he is in 1979 (lower right corner), with 10 of the early Microsoft employees.
Bill Gates looks like he is 10 in that picture….

ditto this, glad to see it up there
You can measure skill and talent with your eyes, but productivity is shown through statistics.
Paul has that Brett Favre look goin' on
just stay healthy and keep the Vulcans away from the purse strings, Sugar Daddy!
When reached 39 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
he's the zissou!
make sure we send Paul a red cap and a speedo

Paul made a bet with Travis Outlaw.
For every game Travis couldn’t get seven boards or more he would grow his beard for a day. Get ready to look like Rip Van Winkle Paul.
