I grow facial hair as a cost effective solution for my lack of a flesh and bone chin - a prothsetic chin of sorts. That being said I am not the most prolific beard growers ever to stride the earth. I usually blame my Asian ancestry for that but that solution is at odds with my tremendous ability to grow hair on my back and shoulders (and increasingly my ears). I think that Karl Popper would have problems with my solution because it contradicts other observations...I'd look up his technical term for it, but my books are at the college office. Anyhoo
I have spent most of my adult life with some form of chin spaghetti ranging from the traditional goatee to the moustache-less goatee to the racing stripe (I started shaving away the sections with grey in them - no longer a viable option) and I now have stumbled across my latest bold move in the psuedo-prosthetic maxillary coiffures is a little something I call "The Ulu".
It is an homage (please pronounce that as OH-maj) to my Aboriginal upbringing and the time I spent in the North. Inuit a special knife that is a multi-purpose cutter, dicer, skinner and all-round world's greatest pizza cutter.
So if the tabloids start to recognize this new trend in Hollywood A-listers you can say you saw it here first...
Migwec,
Ehkosit!
