But I'm going to miss eating the polar bears and arctic foxes - may be hard to get used to penguins.

Sealed blubber? :notsure: Might be softer. :grin:

Facial ornamentation is all the rage now Sandy.  Posers have been doing the mustaxche thing for eons.  I think that they are disgusting, especially when they get all gunked uo with food  like cake icing or pizza sauce.

Full facial hair is a whole other deal. I have not gotten the message about the stubble look of the men who are now regarded by so many women as hunks.   I really think that the men are too lazy or too cheap to shave their mugs..They have managed to beguile their lovely wives or girlfriends. In  defense of the men,  it is true that razor blades have become scandalously expensive these days.

Then there is the current fashion of wearing shiny brown shoes with a navy, black, or dark grey suit.  Whothefuck in the fashion world decreed that that was to be the correct dress for business attire?

My problem is that some people just do not look good with mustaches, and sadly Benedict is one of them.  He looks like a used car salesman at best, and I sincerely hope it's just for a role.

So true! :lol: I was wondering how to describe his new look and 'used car salesman' is perfect!

You know, that doesn't sound like a bad way to spend the holiday. I've been postponing playing video games until next Saturday when I'm officially on holiday, and I am looking forward to it.
Yep. It sounds good, right and proper because it IS good, right and proper.

If you don't mind, what's on your Christmas playlist?

A Zelda game: Ocarina of Time. I got that and a new Nintendo 3DS and am looking forward to unboxing the console. Come Saturday I'll be trying to figure the game out without having to resort to youtube tutorials playing. :tellmemore:
Nice! I haven't played too many Zelda games, but been wanting to enter that franchise for years now... Maybe I shall.

Before that though, I have a few gaming projects of my own to attend to. I've finally un-packed my copy of Pillars of Eternity, I want to build a new vault in Fallout 4, and despite having finished Red Dead Redemption 2 and not being overly impressed with the game, there are some things there I still want to do. That one is on a bit of a cooldown period, however, as I found it tedious past a certain point.

I wear a full beard for two reasons. First, I have extremely sensitive skin that doesn't respond well to a razor. Shaving leaves me broken out in hives no matter what I use to shave with. The second reason is that I have some scarring on my face that I would rather not put on display. Most folks think my beard suits me but that might be because so few people have actually seen my face.

Beards are more than practical for people whose face is not as pretty as the fashionistas would have it.

My all long time best friend has had a nicely groomed beard for all the years that I have known him.  He has a facial defect that is a receding lower jaw.  The beard mitigates the unusual skull structure very well.

My puzzlement is about the devilishly handsome males who grow the ten day stubble on their faces.  Damn I'd have thought that the handsome guys would want to display their fortunate facial characteristics in all their glorious cleanness.  But Nooo. Fashion dictates the "look" that one must display if he is to ............well never mind I was thinking of the prospect of one night stands....dirty old man that I am.

There is a chap I work with who grows a perfect 'fashion beard'. He hates it!!! You just can't please some people.

Cool! I started Pillars of Eternity, but that seems like eons ago. Never stuck to it but it isn't a bad game.
