In response to ConchScooters essay about bearded dudes being untrustworthy, I have included my reasons why:
1.) It hides your identity
2.) If long enough birds could nest in it
3.) You can smuggle things in it if long enough
4.) It represents laziness due to lack of shaving
5.) You can get food in it (uncleanliness)
6.) Represents a sidebar industry that the capitalist war mongers want us to buy into (trimmers, dyes, scissors, etc).
7.) Just looks MEAN! (Exception, Santa Claus and Father Time)
8.) Represents Aging and mortality
9.) Jealousy from non-bearded folks in power
10.) All Communist's had a beards (or facial hair) Lenin, Stalin, Marx, Castro (and we know they are Godless enemies).
A little fun for a Friday (sorry no posts lately, been swamped in work and school). Hope to do two photo entries this weekend, maybe on the Beached Whale (of FMB), Bowditch park, and perhaps Cape Coral's OctoberFest (if I get to go).
Check out Conch Scooters blog. Excellent writing and photos!

you forgot about my favorite communist, mao tse dung. actually i always wondered why he didnt wear a fu manchu?
and re the other godless bearded commies you mention maybe they were consiously or subconsiously attempting a christlike appearence to fool the masses. come to think of it christ was a commie but not a despot or dictator.
btw, why do you love the dream of moving to key west? why not love the reality of living in key west?
@anonymous Good points on all accounts.
As for moving to KW:
1.) My wife is used to KW perception as a "party town" - but is ok with the rest of the lower keys
2.) As a beach bum singer said, "I got too much stuff"
3.) Cost of living
4.) I don't have a real excuse, and that is all that is listed above, excuses. Just need that "push". All can be overcome. :-)
