There's a reason why Chicago sees a lot of beards popping up right about now.
Who cuts his own hair? (Unless you're using clippers, obv.)
Sometimes I buzz my hair down during the winter because I'm going to be wearing a hat and don't want it to get messed up.
In my experiences, the insulative properties of beards are negligible.
It's pretty sad that you let your hat terrorize your head like that.

You must grow a scraggly beard. Get a thick coat of fur and it's nice and warm in there!

Sounds like it, "Cutting it to 1/2 inch all around".
That description is now making me picture Ogged as the Iranian Curious George.
In really cold weather beards collect ice.
Sounds like it, "Cutting it to 1/2 inch all around".
Maybe. 1/2 inch sounds long, even with the biggest clipper chucks. But I don't cut my own hair, so my knowledge in this area is sketchy.
1/2 inch would be do-able with clippers I'd think. Grade 5 on the clippers is a little shorter than that but not much.
[I had my hair cut today so had this conversation earlier, so the length of the clipper bits is fresh in my mind]
This year, I think I'm going to leave it at a normal length. Now that I have a research assistantship, I can afford to have it professionally cut, every two or three months.
Grade 5 is, here in civilization at least, 5/8" (grade 3 is 3/8" and so on). 1/2 inch is quite short.
Maybe ogged uses product to make the hair lie down instead of straight up, making him less Curious George-y.

And that reason is, a sufficient period of time has elapsed since the beginning of the freshman year.
The attachments for my Wahl clippers allow for up to a one-inch cut. I actually get compliments on the haircuts I give myself -- normally, I'd be too modest to mention that, but I didn't know before now that I'm a wizard cocksucker.
And IME, beards can be oppressively warm. I'd have to move to the Yukon if I ever grew mine out again.
I know several dudes with a standing wintertime-beard policy. Then there's Mr. Kostko, who grows a beard in the summer.
Whose name I do know how to spell.

What? From your own description, it's a 4 chuck. I didn't know they went higher than that. You're a longhair, aren't you? A dirty 70s-style longhair who idolizes the look and play of Pete Maravich. I feel so betrayed.
SCMT, you haven't ever met a human, have you? 1/2 inch is close to buzz cut territory.

[Excision of long bit that insulted your parentage and decried your sense of length.] Eh, I thought you were wrong, but after some reflection, I realize you may be right. I think that when the woman cuts my hair short, she uses the four chuck. "Dirty longhair" comments retracted. Tentatively.

This is how you refer to the help?
So, did Labs ever get that flattop? I want to know if I should be fearing him long distance now.
"having it look not too bad in the back"
objection: fact not in evidence.
Either post the pic file or shut up.
This is a community built on trust, bits.

Actually, this one's a little close to the line even for billmon.
I mean, a combination of chuckle, groan, ouch, and is that allowed?
I don't buy Tim's story about "the lady who cuts his hair". 1/2" can only sound long to someone if they're bald. QED, Tim's really bald.
Labs had better get that flattop before he squares off against B-Wo.

A new thread has been set up for this kind of thing.
I didn't know before now that I'm a wizard cocksucker.
You'd be even more wizard cocksucker if you dropped the indefinite article. Helpful usage notes here.
Of course, if you meant to indicate that you just now realized that your feelings for Gandalf and Dumbledore go beyond mere friendship, then congratulations on your expanded self-awareness.
You're so right, MAE. Very wizard cocksucker of you.
I can't decide if I'm getting a 2 or 3 here. It doesn't get too cold in Paris, so I'm not worried about the cold factor. Anyone have opinions on which looks better?
I like the idea that my winter hat will not mess up my hair.
Nothing in the post could actually be construed as a grooming tip.
"The Accurate Labeling of Post Titles" would refer more accurately to the popup text that appears when you hover your mouse pointer over the post title, than to the text of the title itself.
The post title refers to the grooming of the tip of one's person, otherwise known as one's head. The post title is therefore both accurate and descriptive.
The head is simply a tip of one's person, surely.
36 -- it is however not labelled.
I don't get any popup text on the post title when I hold my cursor over it. And I probably don't want browser configuration suggestions (unless they're really easy); I want to know what it says.
37 represents the tip of the iceberg. If we admit the possibility of multiple tips, people will demand evidence to support or refute this hypothesis, e.g., "Show us your tips!"
Presumably 35 refers to the *blog* title, not the post title.
I do tend to grow beards in the summer. I like the tanlines.

What about the bit about insulation? Clearly a grooming tip.
41.--Ah. That's rather disappointing.
What do you mean, "disappointing?" (Unless you're seeing the w-lfs-n text, which is lame-o.)
I had just hoped that there were Easter Eggs of cleverness yet to be discovered.
