Happy New Beard
It's a new year. Time for a new beard.
This is what guys do when they have too much time on their hands in the winter. It's a sublimated form of farming, you see. Can't grow beans, or tomaters, or carrots or peas... But you can damn sure grow a beard. It also does a good job of making you even more unattractive to girls. Inexpensive birth control.
And it makes you feel sort of like a cross between a crossbow hunter, a violent felon, and a homeless man....
A homeless felon holding a crossbow... That's undeniably hot.
Yes. The reasons why guys grow beards are rich with Freudian, Jungian and Dr. Seussian possiblities. But let's just leave that ground untilled.
