Normally I try to shave at least once every couple days.
Once in a while I go out with some stubble or a sloppy beard.
Its very interesting to me to see the difference in the reactions
I get from people as I do whatever errands or whatever I am doing
as compared to when I am clean-shaven, its completely different man.

For example, the teller at the bank, the cashier at the store, they all
give me the cold shoulder, condescending attitude, stinkeye... when
I'm not clean-shaved because they think I'm a bum, but when I'm shaved,
people are friendly and polite.

I think this is very fucking interesting man, very fucking interesting and
reveals a lot of leads about the whole social dynamics and society and shit...
there is some definitive evidence here.

I mean, basically, the general public hates bums, am i wrong?

Your not rolling out naked, are ya?

No, I've got my robe on.

If you were one of those rich assholes in Metallica, though, you'd have people fawning all over you, stubble and all.

The General Public loves and reveres those who have wealth, whatever their appearance.

FUCKIN A

You should move to the Northwest.  It's full of bikers, Vietnam vets, three generations of hippies, and in my town, college students.  If someone has a problem with longhaired, bearded guys, THEY can get the fuck out.

Nice quiet beach community you got there, completely unspoiled. Any topless chicks on trampolines?

I lived in the Northwest for a short time, I liked it there, the fucking redwoods man, unbelievable, a tree that feels like a grandfather, thats the only way i can describe them, fucking majestic. When I went into the grocery store for the first time and they were playing Grateful Dead as background music, I knew this place was the shit. But I just cant handle the winters man, thats the only thing.

I dig your style...and these rich fucks think they can get away with... while my buddies died face down in the muck.. and Dude, "BUM" is not the preferred nomenclature, "economically challenged"   , if you will, and Dude, "nam" was the shits, ANYWHERE else, "this place is the tits."
It's Brandt at Mr. Lewbowski's, and I assure you we are not upset about the what have you.

Yeah, the winters suck here, but that's why you make sure you're stocked up on Kahlua...

Yeah, there are gonna be more and more "economically challenged" people as a result of the newly emerging high-tech corporate feudalism clutching the world.

Dudes of the world unite...the only thing we have to lose is...well, most of us ain't got nuthin' to lose, do we?

The only thing we have to lose is loss itself.
