i have a good beard story tho. when I was a very young my dad used to go away for work for extended periods. Apparently when he came home once it was late at night and I was sleeping. I went into my mom's room in the morning and there was a stranger in bed with my mom. He had grown a beard and from what my mom tells me, I was absolutely horrified when I saw him, haha.

It's kind of like that stage when you're growing your hair out long (for us Metal Band types) and you go through this ghey stage where it's too long to be short but too short to be long and you just look stupid for a month...
