- O Nelson! Ye of little faith.
-
- It took years of cut and grow, cut and grow before I got my beard trained
- to grow on demand. The sad part is that I am such a little furnace
- that I can't stand to wear it year round (not even in Butte, Montana
- where "hot" is 85 degrees).
-
- Your will grow and then you can do what you wish. In the meantime,
- you will have to break hearts just the way you are.
-
- If you are nice (as you usually are here, and always in person), then
- George may send you helpful hints. Bears are nothing if not friendly
- to the ursine-friendly.
-
- Homework assignment: go to the archive and get the GIF of Nelson in
- the mirror and imagine him with a neatly trimmed beard (sort of like
- some east coast person wears :-). Dashing! Simply wonderful. And
- I'm not just saying that because it's true, either.
