on an unrelated note, i shave the first day of each quarter that i teach freshman comp at the local university. come midterm, i, full-bearded, tell my students that if 85% of them passes the midterm portfolio, they get to choose what my facial hair looks like the rest of the week. last quarter (see below), they chose the hard-core strip chops. this quarter, they saved me from the sexual offender look and went wolverine instead. and still, the female students couldn't look me in the eye. picture soon.

Very sexy - would be funny if you had a student pull the eye-lid message like in Indiana Jones.

It should prove interesting. In fact, I should send you a picture from my last facial hair month. Let me know if you're interested.
