Edugeekers & Their Facial Hair (or lack of)

[GrumbleDook]

You may have guessed I quite like Blackadder ...

 

As for facial hair, mine varies from clean-shaven, a few days of stubble, a stubbly goatee, a thick goatee, a goatee with stubble on the side ... through to a month of goatee with 2 weeks of growth on the sides.

 

I just like to surprise people when I come into work.

I haven't any facial hair, so I can't be a geek either..

 

(And a ginger, too - is there no hope)

 

But MrwITch, who is of course a geek as well, has had a full beard ever since I have known him which is 25 years. It was a full-on jet black pirate beard in those days, now it is a very short, grey, nearly stubble-type thing.

FTR I've had a beard since I was 18 and I'm now 46....

I had fully intended to keep my long hair and big bushy beard for good. However some time ago I was persuaded to have half the beard and half of the heair on my head shaved off [opposite sides] and the quarters sprayed four different colours.

 

All this for charity. On that occasion we raided over £ 2000 [in conjunction with a Beaujolais run.

 

We have had several shavings since with the amount raised going down each time.

 

I shan't do another charity event bas I expect it would raise very little but I do not regret cutting off the hair and beard even though it has never really grown back properly.

Anyway, what have you got (or not) facial-hair wise, just out of interest?

There's a vital option missing from the poll... "Van Dyke"... so I can't vote!

I think that many of the blokes who voted "Goatee" may also have a "Mo", in which case they've voted incorrectly...

I'm happy to admit I'm lazy so it gets done once or twice a week when I can be bothered so if its a lazy week its very designer, but it does get annoying if i leave it too long. Should keep it as designer and keep it that way but takes effort and I'm lazy.

 

How can a geek's facial hair contribute to anything related to our "geekyness" though goodness only knows its as bad as the hair debate on length.

Whatever happened to the pony-tail as proof of geekiness then (optionally co-ordinated with a PGP in perl t-shirt)?

Now back to clean-shaven (ok ... a day or two stubble) and grade 1 hair. I look almost thug-ish .... if I wasn't so cute
