@TigerTom — Your comment was caught by my spam filter, but I rescued it from oblivion; not because I don't believe it's spam—by my definition, it clearly is, which is why I stripped out the link to your website—but because it amuses me. What I find most amusing is the fact that you (if you are, indeed, the gentleman who appears in the photos on your site) are clean-shaven. You'll understand if that fact simple reinforced the spamminess of your comment and removed any lingering trace of guilt I might have felt for stripping out your URL. But hey, nice try. I appreciate the effort, even though I suspect the text of your comment was most likely lifted, part and parcel, from another (more bearded) source.

Real _men_ do not fuss over their beards; they trim them occasionally, for a ‘da laydeees’, and that’s it.

You notice a difference in behaviour of people towards you when you’ve got a good one goin’; it’s the one male feature women can’t appropriate, except by taking questionable drugs. Y’get better service in shops, too.

It says: I could give a hoot about looking like a smooth-skinned boy, now get out of my way.

@David — I have beamed instructions for obtaining a username directly to your facial follicles. You need only listen to the beard-to-be and the way will become clear.

So it’s the 4th, I haven’t shaved since the 1st, but don’t have pictures.

Any way I could get in on this still?
