I WANT A TAIL!! I WANT A TAIL!!!
Bay – I’d love a tail, as long as it could be used as the occasional third hand! I think fur would be good, a ‘naked’ tail just doesn’t seem right somehow. But then, what color fur? Striped like a cat, or solid? Decisions, decisions.
It’s the amount of gray in my beard that is most disconcerting this time around. It’s far, far grayer than my scalp hair, and I feel like my calendar age now (a week and counting with a pinched nerve in my lower back). If I’m clean shaven, most people think I’m in my 30′s – which is 20 less than actuality – so it requires a shift in my self-perceptions.
Vanity, oh vanity…
Brendan, you’re so dang cute. I’m sure any/no facial hair would suit you just fine. How about a monkey tail??
There was supposed to an HTML joke in there, but it got blanked as I did it too well.
“HTML tag off /all in good humor HTML tag” was supposed to have followed the semi colon…
HTML has no sense of humor.
Hi Fe,
This was the purpose of the smiley face:
I’ve never been taken for being a Bear thank goodness, not enough body hair.
Back in ’80, this young, bearded, Levi 501 wearing sailor had a bit of a wakeup call when in SF for the first time, needless to say. My “comfort” level was nowhere to be found, yet my mind stayed open. Interesting times.
lol! Yet a man – ahem, I mean a chin – wouldn’t be inclined to be nicely groomed vis-a-vis a waxing like a vagina. Therefore the difference ‘}
Sadly I do not recall a Parisian Frenchman with a lovely built-in tickler – rather, I recall a cartoon character called the Crimson Chin (from Fairly OddParents):

Jen, you are very good and very funny! Thank you.
Brendan:
Lovey, I live in San Francisco, so no personal offense intended to men of goatee-sporting stripe of whatever shades of gray or black and white of gender preference.
The comment came from a big burly bearded man who was my boss in the mid-90s. I used to tease him back, reminding him that he is also a Castro Street icon — a Bear Man.
There is a whole section of “Bear Man meets boys” videos in gay porn stores.
one of my actor-friends in college — a parisian frenchman — informed me that technically, a goatee with the connected mustache is called a “van dyke.”
aw — now i miss him.
Sometime goatee person here, and it’s true, it no longer has the cachet that it once had. Currently at a full beard here – most of which has turned gray (sniff, tears!) – so I’ve not had one for a while now.
Seems like it’s now gone full circle with this ‘toon: back to the Satanic levels of association, what with the law enforcement aspect.
Back in about ’87 I tried to revive the beatnik look on campus, had the beret, the goatee, the whole schmeer, but it was a bit of a lost cause since no one joined me.
As to Ms. Bongolan’s second observation about what a goatee looks like, well, I never! Yeah, okay, that’s what it looks like, can we move on here?
A male friend of mine once said that with a mustache, a goatee makes a man’s mouth look like a vagina.
Whatever way the whiskers blow, Len.
Would that be shade of Freud?
Hey, is a goatee a chin extension?
