people look dignified and intelligent with beards

Hahaha....wow...ancient topic brought back to life!
Since the starting of this topic, some 3 years ago, I've grown a fullish beard. I got tired of having to scrape my face everyday, only to see those little hairs popping out again the next day. Now I am also part of the secret society with plans to control the world!
And I've realised a new conspiracy! It seems that what Flange Gasket said back on page 2 is true. People really DO seem to be scared of us. Even my friends who know me have nicknamed me 'Taliban'. I occasionally get the weird irrational urge to suddenly jump out at someone and scream "Allah hu Akbar!" just to see what happens...I wonder how many bullets I'll get fired at me ?
Anyhow, I've taken to wearing a trilby now. After all, no self-respecting terrorist would wear a trilby, right?

I have a beard/Tash combo, with sideburns to boot. I also have a full chest of hair. The only benefit (apart from being part of the Secret Plot to take over the world) is that i do not get ID'd anymore when trying to buy beer.
I am 22, but still look quite young without my face fluff, so i have cultivated it into a masterpiece.
Makes a man of you, you know!

b) Full beards seriously help to protect in bad weather - whether it be blistering hot sun, or snow ice n frost !
