Beards, WTF?
WTF is up with all the beards on TV? Lately, every commercial on TV has a guy with a beard. Some commercials (like Filet of Fish and that Verizon commercial on Speed) have two guys with beards. What's up with all that?

Haven't seen (or maybe just haven't noticed) the two commercials you mentioned but if by "beard" you mean the scruffy, 3-4 day growth rather than the fully filled in beard of, say, "The Most Interesting Man in the World," then I agree--it seems to be "The Look" nowadays.

No, full beards on young guys. Perhaps why I notice it and filter out the most interesting man in the world. As interesting as he is. And Byron.

The word has gotten out that I have grown a beard. I'm just a leader in the world of fashion.

I think it has finally become obvious to everyone that real men have a gray beard and are role models for the girly men with clean shaven faces.

The answer, according to my wife, is obvious.
Lot of guys grow facial hair to compensate for the loss of hair on their head. As the boomer demographic ages, we will be seeing ever more facial hair. Same reason hats are becoming fashionable all over again. (see targa 911S)

That may be true, However, 1) I'm retired now, no need to shave been doing it since I was 17. I just thought it would be liberating to not shave. I've never had a full beard. 2) it's damn cold here for a Floridian. 3) yes over the years I have had more face to wash and less hair to comb, but I am a musician (bassist it's always the bassist in the hat) and my hats have become my trademark over the years. I'm far from "going bald". I just like hats. I do agree with your wife though. I'm looking 60 in the eye. almost all gray but it's still there. |

zero issues with beards. you are a handsome lot. i question it when the beard affects normal life. i have a guy in our office. he is an ex maintenence guy spending the rest of his career doing "light duty"..real jackass, dirty finger nails, smells like diesel...always fights for cooking duty if there is a bbq grill around..ugh! makes me want to diet when he cooks.
anyways, (what was i saying, before i interupted myself?) he has this ZZ-top style beard. long, unkept, and the matching 'stash on the upper lip. when he eats, he needs to full on tilt his head back, open his mouth WIIDE, and pour the target food into his mouth. anyone know what a chinese soup spoon looks like? office lunches at chinese joints, will make you stop eating forever. he needs to exaggerate the move for the oversized implement. soup all up in his facial hair..DAMN! it is like watching a car crash..horrible, but i cant look away.
