It did make me go a bit wobbly, especially after seeing Vern's photo! Sorry Vern, its not personal, I'm a complete nutter where beards are concerned. Just dont come and look through my window, you'll finish me off!

When I had a beard I had this weird uncontrollable urge to keep running my fingers through it. Bloody annoying. I also found myself feeling more of a slob for some reason.

These days I go for the ..I can't be bothered to shave stubble look mostly.

What evolutionary purpose do beards serve anyway? Or any.body hair for that matter..
Apart from head banging.

I think pubic hair is something to do with trapping pheromones to attract the opposite sex.
Other body hair is evolving out as it was for trapping heat, not needed now we have sheep, cotton and oil.
Head hair is for reducing heat loss given the brain uses about 20% of the body's oxygen demand,or something like that.
Face hair is so that some of us can tell one gender from another? Or maybe just for keeping the grimacing face warm when chasing prey animals? Or maybe to prevent that 'stuck together' thing skin to skin sometimes gets when snuggled up to a loved one who is without beard?

I still have my 'tache from yon Movember. A "young lady" said it made me look handsome the other day! Ok she was about 90 but a compliment is a compliment!

In this current cold snap I can suck enough condensation off my beard to be able to leave my drinks bottles untouched on my bike when I go out for a ride.

Perhaps it's hand me down benefit from the evolution of water conservation?

I've basically had a beard for the past 20 years, be it designer stubble, full beard, goatee etc.

And with the price of razor blades these days I couldn't afford to maintain a clean shaven face even if I wanted to.

But the diminutive of Muffy is Muff and you don't want us to go there do you?

Not with a beard, anyway!

Your beard is also the classic 'Venus Pie Trap', Vernon.

Billy should have a goatie.

Now I remember where I'd seen you before...the motorcycle guy from Raising Arizona.

Billy should have a goatie.

Won't the RSPCA be interested if he doesie?

 

[Aperitif]

It's the 'onesie' effect...affecting the wordie on the street, Vernon.

AND.
This sentence reminds me of a song that fascinated me as a (smaller) child.


Furthermore, anyone who wants to 'singalongaCChat' can follow these words! The Learning Curvie.
Mairzy Doats
I know a ditty nutty as a fruitcake
Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon
Some call it pretty,
others call it crazy
But they all sing this tune:

Mairzy doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
Yes! Mairzy doats and dozy doats
and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

If the words sound queer
And funny to your ear,
A little bit jumbled and jivey
Sing "Mares eat oats
And does eat oats
And little lambs eat ivy"

Oh! Mairzy doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
