It's nearing the end of October, which means it's about to be the beginning of No-shave November, which is really just the beginning of a long string of hairy months where guys think it's cute to all get together and not shave.

First, it's No-shave November.
Then it's Don't shave December.
Then Just don't shave it off January.

And pretty soon it's just an excuse to abandon personal hygiene altogether.

Forget shaving February.
My beard makes up for all my insecurities March.
Alright, this is getting itchy April.
Maybe I should shave this off May.
Just one more month until I shave again June.
Just kidding, I'm keeping this beard forever July.
Alas, the summer's heat is going to force me to shave! August
So tempted to shave, but I'm now just too darn lazy September

And before you know it, we're back to breast cancer awareness month.
(Oh, goodness- Ogle at how huge and manly my beard is October.)
I guess the extreme increase in "manliness" is to make up for the world wearing pink this whole month.

Although, when the guys actually begin to shave it off, it can look quite hilarious.
There was this guy in one of my classes who would just shave off a little bit more each day.
At one point, he was pulling an Ambrose Burnside:



And that just makes me giggle.

Another is when they grow their abominations during the summer and then go out and play volleyball every day so only half of their face is tan when they finally shave.

I guess there's just a relationship between how much facial hair a person has and how serious I can take them.

So, of course, I plotted this relationship on a graph:

My tastes undulate.

But that's enough beard talk for today.

It's only arson if you do it on purpose,
