wickedfleaDo you think Rogaine would help me grow a beard? I'm such a pansy-man that I can't grow a proper beard; it comes in all patchy and makes me look like I have mange on my face. But there are several reasons that I desperately want to grow a beard:
1) I'll finally be able to pull off the bloated-and-dead-in-a-bathtub look that Jim Morrison perfected during his days in Paris. I'm already bloated and pallid, so I just need the beard.
b) Once and for all, I'll be able to prove to my Uncle Hulen from Texas that I am not, in fact, a "pink boy." Oh, wait -- there are those bearded biker types like the dude from the Village People . . . And damn, Uncle Hulen is dead anyway. Oh well.
iii) This is the real reason: I hate to shave. I've mentioned this before. I'm not even very good at it -- I still feel like I was never properly trained in the shaving arts. I don't even see the point of aftershave. (Is there one?) I'm always finding in the middle of the day that I've missed a spot on my chin and have this weird patch of hair there. And I cut myself way too often. Sometimes it's so bad that you can see two distinct cuts, one right on top of the other, that the two blades of the razor have made.
****) And another thing -- shaving is entirely too expensive a habit. Disposable razors are outrageous, and I can't even look at the prices for those Atra Mach Trac cartridge systems. And don't talk to me about electric razors; I can't scrape together fifteen bucks for a hair dryer, much less a down payment for an electric razor. That's really what this whole thing is about: I've been walking around all day with an irritated face because I shaved with an old razor because I'm too cheap to go to Wal-Mart and kill a ten-dollar bill for some freaking razors.
So what about this Rogaine thing -- do you think it would work on my face? I have plenty of hair on the top of my head -- do you think it would make that grow bushier or something? Would I end up looking like a fucking WEREWOLF?

You could always start your facial hair growth, figger out where the bald spots are (I think that's called propecia -- or I might be making that up, I'm not sure), then go into the drug store and casually open a box of Rogaine, squirt some on your finger and dab it on the bare splatches. If anyone says anything, be an upset consumer, complain about them not having a sample out to smell, and say you're alergic to things that stink and you had to "test it" so to speak.
sinnie <-- has ideas. (!)
you crack me right the fuck up.
