No, because that's a pathetic beard that I can grow in a matter of weeks. With ease.

Parents want to be fooled, so I doubt that'd be an issue. The more important question is if she's pretty enough to attract the fun lesbians, but not so pretty as to attract the bitchy queens. You only need one of those in your life, and that's you.

So would you pay money for this guys beard?Problem:
Kurt Beck, who as party leader has a strong claim to lead the SPD into next year's national election, said in a panel discussion in Mainz that he might shave off his beard to raise 1 million euros ($1.5 million) for charity, the newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported.Bild isn't exactly the most reliable news source. In fact, it's Europe's largest publication of the best lies on paper. A careful search has revealed that not a single independent source can corroborate it. All that I've found are quoting Bild.

What beard?
According to some of the other sources I've seen, the fact that it is so pathetic and it keeps getting criticized for not being a proper beard is prompting him to shave it off for a million Euros donated to charity.

I'd pay money just for the idea of owning a man's beard. Or a woman's beard, for that matter.
What the heck, give me the entire freak tent. Yes, the Human Faucet as well...
