Play “No More Heroes”, right now. Then pick up “Killer 7” for the Gamecube, by the same director. ****ing amazing stuff.

Next topic…beards. I have one, you have one…your mother has one. What makes a cool beard, and what’s the best style?

I’ll check out that game. I like the idea of “no more heroes” in general, as it was a great ‘77 punk tune. And I generally agree with the Marxist critique of “heroism,” in that it’s vastly overblown by our culture.

Except for me, of course. I’m a hero. Your hero.

I am your hero.

Let’s cleverly segue from Marxism into a discussion of beards. Me, I don’t have one anymore. Went and shaved it off a few days ago.

I like to let my facial hair grow out once in a while, mostly because I’m extremely lazy. It’s often less about style than it is representative of something for me, at any given time. Maybe it’s part of the great Canadian hockey tradition of growing a horrible-looking “playoff beard.” My last one was out of “protest” for the ****ty weather we’ve been having. A refusal to do my spring cleaning while it’s still winter, you know? But now that’s it’s hot out, I shaved that **** off and will do my best to maintain a constant state of scruffiness. I’m going for that 1980s George Michael permastubble look, which is okay because back then no one thought he was gay.

Segueing into homosexuality, all this is moot if you were talking about a ”beard” all this time. I don’t have one of those either. You say you have one? Hey, good for you! At least some (extremely gullible) people think you’re getting laid. Log in to see images!
