This or That, Day 9

ybmuG posted some pics said Sat, Nov 9th 2019 at 12:10am ET

Have you ever come to the conclusion that no matter what you do, nothing changes? Yeah, me neither.

Once again, the write-ins made a good show of it: Wonder Woman (again! that shrew…) and perhaps the winner, Phoebe. Though I have to admit, she was the best reason to watch the show to begin with. I just figured if I put her up against anyone else, it would be a fait accompli.

And someone was so dissatisfied that they said these polls have gone off the rails, though apparently the rails in their world go through Golden Girls. Well…

So today we depart from people, cultural icons, historical cartoon characters, octogenarians (and hopefully Wonder Woman!) and ask a question that has been on the mind of every man at one point or another. No, it’s not

Get your head out of the gutter

Today we ask
Full Beard

or Goatee (see what I did there?)

  Rule 34 is simply if there is any question of something existing, there is proof on the internet.
  The rule is not restricted to pr0n. But if drag bears is your thing, you do you, bro.

- @chienfou that is key. I decided to grow one while engaged. She said “as long as it’s off before the wedding.” Then she liked it and I haven’t shaved it off since - 26 years later. Now I tease her that I’m going to shave it. One day I’ll have the guts…

Depends on the face. Goatee is usually better looking than an unruly shag of hair around someone’s face and neck.
