Ambigulous @ 108,

Paul, that sounds like a good ploy. Grrroowwwwllll. “Keep away from the scary man, kiddies!” At least that way the young Mums are confident you’re not a bearded paedophile.

“Designer stubble, however is a different matter altogether.”

They will move away from that as quick as they moved away from a pony tail.
Fickle advertising executives!

Yairs, the one drawback for me is that some little kiddies can find me a bit scary, and I like little kiddies. It’s probably only the timid wusses that get put off though, and they’re not my faves.

Ambigulous @ 103,
I took up pulling scary faces at them when I caught them staring ar me. A good loud growl helps now and then, too, especially around mothers with children.

Very practical Paul, but how did you cope with the very natural sense of repulsion felt by all clean-shaven, clean living men and all the ladies who expect nothing less than a daily shave? I mean, it’s not natural to go hairy is it?

At 101. I meant cutting myself shaving.

I grew a beard because I was sick of curring myself shaving.

Happy to gaze upon it, but to “gave”? No, I gave at the office.

satp: some posters think all such persons are racist and misogynist and wouldn’t be seen dead with such ; more’s the pity. Both might profit from the conversation.

If posters here are suggesting that wearing a flannel shirt, driving a ute, & having a beard are not mainstream activities, then they oughta get out more.

Which was the whole point of the Independent Distillers ad. (A New Zealand company by the way, paying for political advertising and attempting to directly influence an election outcome)

That’s a J20 in the picture steve. Are you sure you’re in a pub and not posting from a juice bar in Newtown?

Real men shave cause otherwise they can’t get a root. Handlebar moustaches like Boonie are OK, but furry necks are suss unless your on a sports club trip to Bali. You know it makes sense.

I haven’t been following this thread, but I drive a Falcon ute with a torneau cover. It usually has a fair bit of expensive gardening equipment on the back. My one rule in parking in shopping centres is never to park next to a ute or a 4WD. I can report that there are heaps of utes around the ‘burbs.

See comment 91, steve.

As previously noted, one of our esteemed bloggers here at LP, Brian, drives a ute. Yet lives in the inner(ish) city.

Utey, ever considered that fellers don’t shave simply coz a beard keeps the sun off their face & neck?

Your inner urban-ness is showing, are you absolutely certain you drive a ute?
