"The Beard Experiment: Part 2"

Call it curiosity, call it vanity, or call it plain stupidity...I like to think of my beard as an ongoing sociological experiment. The variable is my facial hair, and the subjects of my experiment are everyone I know or come into contact with. What am I looking for? What do I hope to learn from this experiment? Truth is, I don't know. I guess that's why part one didn't satisfy me. So, get ready everyone...here comes part 2! This one is sure to be longer, hairier, and much much more hard core than before!
