Fun read. My favorite line: "Six months later, in May 1984, Michael Larson sat beardily in the interview room for the Press Your Luck auditions in Hollywood."

- its_ethan 2y agoI liked the call back to this later: "With a raspy voice he unbeardily reminisced about his game show exploits "
- baobabKoodaa 2y agoI'm not a native English speaker. Is there some kind of double entendre here? Or does it just mean "with beard" and "without beard"?
- its_ethan 2y agoTo me it's just a creative way to describe his current appearance using a ("fake") adjective instead of "with a noun". Basically just turning a noun into an adjective for the fun of it. Because it's a short written piece, it's just a fun way to call attention to his having (or not having) a distinct physical appearance at two points in time. So these aren't "real" words, and as far as I'm aware there isn't really any double entendre. It would be like saying "he sat there, t-shirt-edly, and blah blah" and then later, "he appeared, un-t-shirt-ily, blah blah" to describe him being dressed vs shirtless. Not the best example, but yea, your interpretation is correct.
