In which I have a cameo, because I wasn’t wearing a beard at the time. So there’s irony. Anyway. An amusing encomium to hirsuteness.

The member of ZZ Top called Frank Beard is the one without a beard. It’s about the same level of irony. :)
Still, it’s way past time we beardies got some positive press.
Being at work, I have to watch these things with no sound sometimes.
So just from the visuals. It almost looked like they were handing out metals for manliness and you didn’t get one because you lacked facial hair.
I want to live on a island for six months so I could grow a beard without anyone seeing the rough stages.
Some fine fezzes on display in that video. When is the Year of the Fez?
[Insert ironic neckbeard joke here].
I saw a glimpse of Jack Conte; Pomplamoose was on the cruise??!!!! That was some rocking vacation.
Well it is nice to be recognised!
And may I suggest a subcategory of Pipe Smoking Beards.
Apparently there is not a positive correlation between possession of beards and musical rhythym. Just saying…
I let my kids watch this over my shoulder and they spotted Grant Imahara. Fun.
A lovely addendum to the wonderful “Hair Poem” by the (often-bearded) George Carlin:

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first song ever to rhyme “cynical” with “rabbinical,” so, points for that.
