I grew out my facial hair once the Red Sox started their playoff run. It's something I picked up from hockey players who generally don't to shave their facial hair during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and not only did that work for the 2007 World Series, it worked for the 2004 World Series, along with Super Bowls 36, 38, and 39.
I kept the same facial hair through the entire football season, only to have the Patriots get screwed by the referee because the clock wasn't run properly in the final two minutes. Long story short the game was called by the bookies and a crooked referee instead of the players on the field and I've put an asterisk (*) next to that game (that's right, I went there

), but that's neither here nor there, that's for the Sports forum.
So at the end of that road and one month later because of how cold it gets around here, I'm clean shaven again...FINALLY! I don't expect to shave anytime soon because I'm almost out of aftershave.
The bottom line is this: my facial hair patterns tend to revolve around sports unless I have something of importance coming my way, such as in interview or a picture of myself is being taken (and that excludes mugshots because I have never been arrested in my life, and quite frankly I would like to keep it that way).
