Just scared the hell out of my wife

Me on shaving:

A couple of years ago I shaved mine, unfortunately I took my entire chin with it (thus remembering instantly the reason I grew a beard and regretting the shaving before my face was dry). Won't let that happen again.

Ironic to use a meme of a (mostly) hairless creature to express disdain for shaving. Not sure if that was intentional, but I like it.

I shaved my beard off once and my wife just looked at me and said "Noooooooooo". Lol.

I didn't want to use a bear because of the counter-cultural connotations; Gollum is the every-man for Tolkien, the fallen human being who refuses redemption, and is what we all tend towards naturally. In this abstract sense, the social construct of shaving and hatred thereof fits well within the memetic usage.

Same here. She doesn't want the baby faced version of me.

My wife does not like me without my beard.

For the first 2 years of my daughter's life, she was afraid of me if I took my glasses off. Even if she saw me take them off and put them on.

I shaved off all my facial hair about a month ago. One of my co-workers told me never to do that again. I had to laugh.

My youngest son gets all wierded out when I shave it off too.

Can't believe no one called shenanigans on my sophistry.

However, under the hair we are all hairless.

I did the no-shave November thing this winter, just kind of carried it through the new year. I'll probably shove it off in the next couple of weeks, as my wife has taken to calling me Santa Claus...[hahhah-no]
