@thismyusername It was probably Vince Clarke of Erasure. By the way, if you ever meet Vince Clarke of Erasure, don't tell him he looks just like the guy who does the sock-puppet videos on the internet. He hears that all the time and gets a little pissy about it. Threw a mostly-full Sour Patch Slushie at me, in fact.
Oddly enough, guys who think the only thing involved in growing a beard is to quit shaving is, for me, a "thing that bothers me more than it should". I know it is possible that the only reason you grew a beard was so you could "deliberately avoid hygienic maintenance", but you have to trim it on occasion, dude! At the very least, shampoo that nasty thing.
@DrWorm You don't trim it if you are growing a beard, you trim it if you are maintaining a beard. My old neighbor would go full Grizzly Adams every winter, never did any maintenance. Usually shaved it off after lighting it on fire in a welding accident
Growing facial hair <> Growing a beard I can grow some facial hair, but the end result is not what any reasonable person would call a "beard". So, we might always be growing hair on our faces, but only some people are growing full beards.
You suck on my beard Glen! I wash it once a day and lather it in organic essential oils! I look like a mountain man and smell of the lavender fields of Provence France! Minimum standard of grooming my butt!
@matthew, you look great with or without a beard. But you're in Seattle, right? Grow a big bushy beard, put some heavy dark glasses on, a hat, some flannel, hiking boots, with baggy khakis and you're good to go!
You Wish!!!!! -- Glen!!!!!!
Hair going South for the Winter?
@matthew were you in a wal-meh in Bixby Oklahoma tonight? If not you have a doppelganger.
@thismyusername it's just one of those faces, four in every town

The air quote was one of my favorite Matthew and Glen moments ever. Thank you.

The nail growth thing is due to skin shrinking - making it look like nails have grown longer.
@Thumperchick that is good to know, keep that in the back of my mind for random fact day with the kids...

Big fan by the way much love.

@shells They're in Texas. Swap the hikers for shitkickers and the khakis for jeans.
@WINTERMUTE No, she's right, Matthew is indeed in Seattle. And I'm just outside of there. Clutch that Irk puppet tightly, @matthew.
But to be fair, you can kick shit in pretty much any kind of footwear (open toe not recommended)
@matthew Just not sock n' stocks like people think we all wear in the PNW.
