Ziggins wants to know about “Growing chin hair. And how fun it could be.”
OK, here goes.
Here’s a picture of me clean-shaven.
Yes, I know. I look goofy as hell. This was actually taken to post for a couple of Internet dating sites. My adventures trolling the Internet for potential post-marital playmates resulted in…
Well, there’s a reason Internet dating still squicks people. Thankfully, I met Nita through standup comedy, so she got to see me looking stupid on purpose.
And this is your humble narrator now…
Yes, I’m sporting a goatee these days. And I have to say I think it looks a lot better. I tried growing one last spring, but it just started to fill in as the weather warmed up. It also started to itch because the weather warmed up.
Well, now it’s fall. I have a full goatee, and I can go a day or two without shaving before anyone notices. Best of all, the wife thinks it’s hot!
Is there any other reason to grow chin hair? I think not.

I’m not being sarcastic when I ask this (and there’s a first), but do you dye your beard? ‘Cause I’m a couple of years younger than you, and mine comes in pure white around my muzzel, er, mouth.
No, I don’t. And actually, if you saw me in person right now, you’d spot the pure white hairs scattered in my beard. My ex thinks it looks red. My wife thinks it looks hot. That last one is the only one I really care about.
That, and I love to tickle her with it.
Ohhhh it’s definately hot – God he drives me crazy
You, I am 7 years younger then you but still have more gray on my chinny chin chin.
only a face a mother could love
I dunno, I think the new look gives him “street cred”. Except that he needs to shave off that middle-school ‘stache and go with the billy goat chin beard.
No he’s hot the way it is )
