  1. Okay, but it's totally mostly a fad right now. Guys in the 1970s called their pornstaches "a lifestyle" too, but most of them had shaved by the 80s.

    1. It'll go back and forth like everything else, obviously. It'll go away then come back in like 2035 or something.

      1. And the douchebag hipster equivalents of 2035 will also swear that they have always had beards and always will, and will have beards for 5 years, tops.

        1. In 2035, hipsters will also "re-discover" old bands, but only the bad ones, so that the most annoying ones have to pretend they like Nickelback.

        1. I'll wait until they come into vogue again. They take too long to remove and regrow, and they have a nasty habit of disappearing, to be found the next day wrapped around the neighbor's cat.

          So, no, they stay on.

  2. I just realized how odd it is that we have no presidential candidates with a beard considering how many male candidates there are.

          1. From a review on Amazon (after another talking about how much nudity-gasp!-there is in the movie):

            This film is adorable. You must have a family night and gather the kids to watch this film. Classic cinema."

            Also Mod Fuck Explosion seems like something happening in Arizona imo

    1. Probably because this time around, beards have been more of a youngish guy-hipster-liberalish-youth thing. Especially the latter, since beard dye is much more obvious than hair dye, and most of the men aren't sporting their natural color anymore than Hillary is.

      1. A beard would make the story of "growing up in the countryside chopping wood" a bit easier to believe, at least.

        1. Truthfully, it's probably for the same reason you don't see many anchormen or actors (except for roles) sporting them. It's tough to do tv makeup around beards/facial hair. Also, it would be constantly scrutinized if he didn't always have one — is it groomed enough? Is it too groomed? Is it greying? The only political types you tend to see with beards these days are ones who are former academics (Robert Reich, Ben Bernake — I guess economists can have beards?).

          1. I was about to say nobody then realized Donald Trump would probably consider any attention positive so I'm going to say him.

          2. You're right. But I don't think he's ever had facial hair, so I'm going to guess his facial hair grows in as well as his head hair (or that's where he had it transplanted from back in the 80s).

          3. technically speaking, Teh Donald's facial hair would be pubic hair, given what a dickhead he is…

        Welcome to Dayton, everyone!

        The "less supportive of women's rights" thing is odd considering how many current politicians aren't supportive while still shaving.

      1. And I don't even have a beard! Well, I kind of do right now because I haven't shaved in days because, lazy.

        1. You can use use the excuse that you're preparing for a novelty vintage portrait shoot. Then later you can say it got canceled.

      1. I swear I had to look that up.

        Among my favorite words are "tactile" and "enunciate." Enunciate because, in order to pronounce it, you have to do what the word means. Tactile because, when you say it, your tongue has to touch the back of your top teeth twice and then back again. Very tactile.

        Also, onomatopoeia. (I also swear I had to look up how to spell that.)

      2. I like "tat." Very satisfying to say. Although I don't get this whole hipster tat trend. Get a piercing or a charm bracelet instead, people. Less permanent regret.

        1. I cannot of think of one thing and/or person I loved in my 20s that I would not now be profoundly embarrassed to have permanently etched on any part of my body.

    1. Also too, if you are putting more effort into your beard than Not Shaving, and yet still get mistaken for a member of ISIS, you are doing it wrong.

  3. This thread is not only made of win, but has been soaked in win overnight, deep-fried in win and then sprinkled with a generous amount of win to taste.

    1. It's been up less than an hour and it has almost 50 comments and it's not even about football. It's not about much of anything, to be honest. One of our finer moments.

      1. Well, there's a serious connection between beards, fun words, bad music, and bad nude horror movies! I think, maybe.

  4. OT, but watching the Blue Jays-Royals game and…

    GODDAMMIT PEOPLE GET OFF YOUR FUCKING PHONES! YOU'RE AT A FUCKING PLAYOFF GAME YOU GODDAMN FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT!

    1. funny thing- all the smart money has the Blue Jays winning the world series- I guess someone forgot to tell that to KC

    2. And their team is winning! Are they really that fucking bored?

      Also score nobody else cares about of the night in football: Wayne (OH) 38, Northmont (OH) 0. Now 8-0!

        1. Yay!

          (We do need to get rid of our mascot though, Native American stereotype :/ Can't be too hard to turn Warriors into something not offensive.)

          1. My small home town combined with another small town in the late '80s. We both previously had innocuous nicknames (Wildcats and Lakers), but when we combined we had to choose a new team name. For some odd reason, (I think because of the popularity of the UNLV Runnin' Rebels at the time) these north-central Minnesota towns chose "Rebels" as their team name, complete with a logo of a Confederate soldier with beard and mustache. The logo has since disappeared and Confederate battle flags are no long flown in the stands (as they were when I was in high school oh so long ago), but the Rebels name still exists, sadly. So, yeah, I commiserate.

          2. Oof, that's a really bad choice for sure. Someone should call up George Lucas and make it a Star Wars-themed name with Rebels.

            Warriors could just be changed to some fighter that isn't a racial stereotype with a sword or something. Or maybe a bow and arrow just because the idea of hunting Elks (our big rival's team name, and yes it's Elks and not elk) is just incredible.

          3. The local school here is also the Warriors. Half the student body are members of the Paiute tribe. Google "Alice Piper" for some local history.
