The Face of Evil (updated)
1 o'clock, June 26, 2006
Update (26 June): So that’s one clear “no,” one “I’m scared,” and one suspect piece of beard advocacy from a known beard advocate. Maybe I should go back to the Colonel Kurtz look. (Not like I need to be any more fixated on Apocalypse Now, but even so.)
And then here’s another option.
Everyone knows that mirror-universe facial hair is, as Wikipedia so kindly puts it, “a satirical symbol of evil and normality run amok.”
Which might explain a lot about the last couple of weeks.
Figure 1. Good. Clearly. (Reprise.)
Figure 1. Evil? I’m just sayin’.
Not sure what I think about this. On the one hand, it’s so damn sparse I think it might actually make me look younger. On the other hand, there’s something disquieting about waking up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water, having the glass touch your upper lip, and going Aaah! There’s hair on my glass!
Special bonus photo extravaganza: the phase you missed.
Figure 1. “It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror.”
David, I love you, but -- SAY NO TO THE 'TACHE. It may be coming back, but that's no reason for you to enable it.
Love,
