Favorite things - Beards

I quite enjoy beards. They're practical, they instantly make someone's face more attractive, they are a valuable storage place for savory crumbs and lastly they are awesome. Not lastly: I also hate shaving. Sadly,the best beard I can accomplish is fails on two counts: 1) it's patchier than Shia Labeouf on a bad day and 2) It is so light in colour that it just looks like I have some dirt on my face rather than the rugged playoff beard it's supposed to resemble.

Luckily for me (and women who have also always wanted beards) there is a solution. A beard hat:

you can sport such fashion styles as




the viking look





OR




The hobo look




Both are awesome. Unfortunately they cost $130, something faaar too expensive for a novelty that would wear off in mere moments. If hovever a reader of Mullington were to have the talents to make such a hat, I suggest they make one and send in a photo of them sporting it. Or better yet, send me the hat! I will post all beard related articles and or paraphanalia.

So in short: beards.

*** Update Oct/07/08 after NetBear called me out on where I got the hobo-beard-hat picture here's a link to the article. I know my readership has a large Bear fan base, though if someone could please explain the difference between bear, otter, polar bear, blah blah blah it would be appreciated. Like how come Daniel Radcliffe counts as a bear on this website? It the criterion now: anyone with body hair? My readership wants to know. And on that count I invite all my readers to write me at Ian_Mullan@hotmail.com.
