Hey, kids! I know it's Cinco de Mayo, and I should be writing about beer, and how May 5th ties into the reason so many great Mexican beers are brewed with classic German brewing know-how. However, that seems too predictable. Besides, it's been almost two years since the NFG (owner and proprietor of NFG Worldwide and all known and unknown subsidiaries) shaved his face in its entirety, the first time in nearly 12 or 13 years that my chin was cold and nekkid. That didn't last very long at all.
For the most part lately, I've rocked a pure goatee, no moustache to strain my soup or tickle Lori's upper lip. However, I am getting a little lazy in the shaving department, sometimes going a week or more without touching the fuzzy undergrowth.
I really want to do something 'out there' with the facial hair (thanks to La Bev for the linkage). Handlebar moustache. Long goatee, a la Scott Ian. Elvis sideburns. A la Elvis. However, in deference to my marriage, I never go beyond joking about it. Lori seldom laughs.
It's not much of a quiz this week, but since it seems nobody answers many of these anyway, not much risk in offending any of you. This is a research quiz, for your benefit and mine, feel free to Google or guess, your choice.
1) Who shaved his trademark moustache first: Alex Trebek or Tom Selleck?
2) Who has the better beard, Billy Gibbons or Dusty Hill?
3) For which film did Chevy Chase (known for playing Dusty Bottoms in the film 'The Three Amigos') don a wicked cool beard, Walt Whitman style?
4) Is there anything besides Whitman's beard which qualifies him as 'cool'? (Okay, that's a trick question. Of course there isn't.)
4a) Which actress starred with a slightly zanier Chevy Chase after featuring in the original film production of 'Hair'?
5) Which surrealist painter made a film about facial hair, and in which film was he dragged behind a piano alongside a fellow surrealist?
Not much this week, but you know. Gliddy glup goopy, nibby nabby noopy la la la lo lo. Sabba sibby sabba, nooby abba nabba le le lo lo. Feel better? If not, go have yourself a cerveza. That should fix it.

What you need is a monkey tail.
Also, why is the only guy in ZZ Top without a beard, named Beard?
Still at 69. I guess some things never change around here. ;-)
Frank, that looks like too much maintenance for me.
And I think ZZ Top required him to change his name. What else would explain it?
PS - And of those 69, I'd be surprised if more than 10% were still reading.
