I still have my beard, and quite recently decided to shave the ever thinning hair on the opposite end of my head. If I say so myself, I now bear an uncanny resemblance to this dude...

Why do so many bald guys grow beards?

If there's ever a bald guy who needs to grow a beard pronto, it's Prince William. He can ask his (half) brother for advice...

Why do so many bald guys grow beards?

Oh my golly gosh Phelpsie, you can be SOOOOOOOOOOO slow at times. Do potatoes have hair and beards? Neither? Do people want to look like potatoes? Have I given you enough hints?

Potatoes also don't have penises, so...

Why do so many bald guys grow beards?

Because they can? Not sure if I have this exactly right, but I think I recall reading that those who go bald naturally tend also to be able to grow beards better than those who don't. For my own part, I have a healthy head of hair but am not able to grow a beard very successfully. It takes me a few months of awkward growth to really get a decent beard going. Not really worth it.

'cause it's hot.

Underneath the beard.


Bart Simpson: "Hey beardo!"

"...vote for Quimby!"

Of course bald guys with beards will say that their look is "hot"!

I watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade--I often watch one of the first three Indy film on a holiday--and I must confess a tinge of inspiration at seeing Sean Connery's "Henry Jones" beard.

In hindsight, Connery's beard isn't nearly as impressive as I once believed it to be. However, it's still "Sean Connery's Beard" and that means a LOT. It's certainly inspiring to me to entertain the possibility of growing my own facial scruff again.

I do now. Or as close as I can manage, having a thin hair growth on my face.



And now that I do, I'm tired of wiping, wiping, wiping extra times after blowing my nose, since it feels like the mucus lodges in my 'stache.

It is NOT "Sean Connery's Beard". It is one of 75 different stick-on "make-up department" falsifications for filmic purposes. It's like saying, "OMG, I just SO wish I had Sean Connery's hair". To which someone would undoubtedly point out that our Shaun (shurely shome mishtake) was already follically challenged ever since early Bondage. Then we would inevitably get, "You know what I mean. That really great Russian hair he had in that film where he's in a submarine. Oh, or maybe those cute pigtails he wore in Medical Jungle Story. He copied them from Jerry, you know".

The message is clear. Beware of fakes. I'm sometimes surprised by the naivety displayed under the surface of your "hard boiled" image, Phelps.

The one he sported in 'Highlander' was rather better, if somewhat minimal.

That's another 1980s film I've never seen. In the Highlanders photos online of Sir Sean, it looks more like just a mustache and "soul patch" and no otherwise visible hair on the face.

Perhaps Highlander fans out there can confirm or deny this.

Pleasantly surprised, I hope!

Since shaving nearly every day for the past three months, I've discovered that my razor lasts for about three and a half weeks before losing its sharpness.

Yes, it turns out there are beard memes. From both sides (I don't want to hotlink):

Ten years ago I tried growing a beard for the first and only time.

I lasted 55 days.



I've recently felt a desire to try again, but reading Phelps is helping keep me levelheaded. As is David's reminder of how awful it is to blow your nose when you've got a mustache.

You're exactly like the friendly owner of the local Turkish kebab takeaway. "You want hot sauce? Very hot. Burn mouth. You cry! Ha ha ha! Enjoy, my friend!"
