It's an exciting time in the world of sports: a controversial time-out call in game five of the NBA championships could be the difference in the series; Edmonton has gone from "about to be swept" to "totally dominating" in the last two games against Carolina in the NHL finals, and has forced a Game 7; and, of course, the World Cup has captured the hearts and minds of the United States just as it does every four years.
To make things even more exciting, I have decided to grow a playoff beard. Actually, it wasn't a real decision, I just stoped shaving for a few days.
But now, it's a decision, because I realized that the Oilers, Heat, and the US National soccer team haven't lost since I started growing the beard.
I stopped shaving, they stopped losing.
Now, some of you may find this a bit unsettling. Let me put your fears to rest: I will shave eventually, so don't worry about it.
Unless the US keeps not-losing. Then I might pull the old amp out of the closet, dust off my shades, and start that ZZ Top cover band I've always dreamnt of.

Never underestimate the power of facial hair, dahlin!
post pictures now
Maybe if you start growing it now you can have a beard by the next World Cup. Speaking of facial hair, I'm thinking of growing a mustache for Milwaukee's Summerfest. It'll bring the festival to a whole new level.
Adina, it's only been four days, it'll take another week and a half before you can even tell. ;)
remember the last time you stopped shaving?
gross. shave.
