Bruce's tagline deliberately implies he last shaved in 1969. Whether or not this is a fact is irrelevant to our debate as it's the only info we have to take sides over.

the last picture i saw of bruce showed a close cropped beard......looks like 4-6 weeks worth. regardless, every cell is replaced within a seven year span, even bones. so, the actual age of his beard is immaterial. it's never 34 years old.

he's on the left

*cries foul- disclosure.
On a serious note, are you saying that if I grew my hair for 34 years, and it ended up being, say, four feet long, the cells at the extremities would be entirely different from those originally extruded from my face and, in fact, be no older than seven years.:confused:

It relates arm hair to head hair, but I'm sure we can all extrapolate :>

nope. correction....all LIVE cells...his beard aint that long

In that case I stand by my earlier post. Based on the (then) available info it was possible for some of bruces beard to have been created before SteveDallas and the rest, up till now, after.
This was only invalidated after you breached the rules of disclosure and entered new evidence.
Obviously I must grudgingly concede the contempory point.

Where were you when I needed you Bruce? :D

Sorry novice, (no vice?) it's the percocets:zzz:
The beard is the same even though the hair is replaced at a steady rate. The creek behind my house is thousands of years old even though the water is changing constantly.

The rivers to the sea thing is different. There are many rivers that empty into inland lakes that do not drain to the sea, ever. Yes they evaporate and precipitation ends up in the sea directly or via another river. Or the lake water percolates through the earth into an aquifer and then gets pumped to the surface to continue to the sea. But that's like saying a hair falls out of my beard, goes through the sewer system to the sludge, gets spread on a corn field, I eat the corn and grow a new hair. Pretty much a stretch.

[beat]yeah...i think, in that quote, the "sea" is an interchangeable term.

[/dead horse]

Hmm...maybe. But I was really disappointed with the lack of power my cordless screwdriver possessed.

*caresses Makita lovingly*
I'll never go back.

Anything which *can* be done with a power tool *should* be done with a power tool. It is a moral imperative.

Yeah. That's what I was thinking of. It should be "The last time I was clean shaven was in...", not the last time he shaved. He's getting by on a technicality. Technicly, he likely just "trims" his beard, and doesn't shave. It's all legal speak. ;)

I on the other hand, have only cut my hair once in the past 12 years. That was to trim a foot off of it about 6 years ago or so. My hair is just about knee-length.

Quzah.

When you get older, your hair doesn't grow as fast. I used to be able to grow it from 'politician hair' to my shoulders in like 9 months. Now, it's been over a year since I cut it and it's barely to my shoulders. It will be another 2 years before i have rock star hair again :(

i'm perpetually stuck in ugly hair mode. I may shave my head.

we'll need to see that.

Re: gifts for guys
 

I have owned a copy of this book for a few years now, some of the information is actually mildly useful. I also have the companion book "The WORST-CASE SCENARIO Survival Handbook: TRAVEL," and a similar book by one of the authors of the Worst-case books, called "The Action Hero's Handbook." I can't even begin to tell you how many times that little baby has come in handy, but I admit that it ruins the heroic entrance to whip it out of a back pocket and start flipping pages. Oh well, I guess it can't have looks AND brains.

so which one DO you have?
