Yes, that retirement community that pixel mentioned is going to be a real sight to behold.

I use the ex as an object lesson for my 9 yr old girl.

We coined the phrase "When a dolphin becomes a manatee"

Wow so much disdain for beards and tattoos * jumps out window*

If you want to wear a beard and a tramp stamp.......then the world is yours sir.

P.s. I just now read the post above me... Crud I should have completed the threaded sorry.

By accident I watched the teevee show Duck Dynasty just tonight for the first time. It reinforces my disdain for television, even more for reality shows, even more for the average intelligence of our American tv watching folk, hilljacks or not. They made the Beverly Hillbillies look like a quality production.

Anyway, to the point, I tried a full beard, way back when, couldn't abide the itch. Moustache lasted maybe 15 years though. Reason is styles, and some laziness, but trimming around a full beard was like shaving anyway

The part that doesn't fit with the beards on the young men is their complete disdain for body hair....go figure. Clean shaven everywhere else because "body hair is gross."

Not sure if serious... That is curmudgeonry to an elite level, the extent of which warps space and time, to verge on being a twisted transcendental anti-nirvana of vacuous piffle, if so.

I think it's a public protest against "the best a man can get"

This actually merits a lot of truth. I hear so much about manscaping and all but then, out

comes the Tolouse Latrec beards and Snidely Whiplash moustaches ??
