I did a reverse image search for kicks, and one of the results was a female bonobo putting on a mating display that looked just like his face. :gonk:

Well, he's in for a sexy(?) surprise if he ever finds himself in a group of bonobos then.

I googled it and the show is apparently about people who drive monster trucks in mud. I guess they're supposed to be the titular mud people. Is it really such a common phrase?

Among racists, yes.

"Gator bait" is also a slur against black people.

That was a abominable racist joke from the old days but "gator bait" really wasn't used to exclusively refer to black people. It's kinda like if you called kindergarteners "target practice" and then tried to claim that any use of "target practice" was a slur against children. Where I'm from in Florida, "gator bait" usually meant any football team going up against the University of Florida Gators. Contrast that to the "porch monkey" example which has only ever been used in a racist and derogatory context.

I'm pretty sure its a show about off-road enthusiasts. Which doesn't really excuse it, but mudding on its own is a weird basket of redneck awkward.

"Gator bait" isn't always used as a slur, but in some contexts it definitely is a slur.

Wikipedia posted:

A black person, especially a black child. More commonly used in states where alligators are found, particularly Florida.

I don't think it was intentional in this case, but it was a bad idea to combine that with "mud people". Anyways, back to the awkward.

I don't want to get into a massive derailment, but can someone honestly explain this beard style to me? Why has this person shaved off so much of it? I don't understand. As a bearded person I cannot imagine what would have to go through your mind to think — I'll shave off everything apart from the bit under my chin and on my neck. There must be some weird rationale they're using, but I can't imagine what it is. Any former goony-as-gently caress people able to weigh in?

Also, on the subject of facial hair, content.

At a local comic shop in Fullerton, CA. I don't know if I want to give the name of the shop because I am buddies with the owner and he is a great guy. His store is cool too but I have to remember to avoid any card game days.

I think someone talked about this a long time ago in this thread. It just boils down to trying to cover a double chin. Having that line of facial hair can also give the beard guy the illusion of a jawline. Also, for me, the hair on the upper lip is uncomfortable and never quite grows into a full mustache so it just gets shaved off but the beard stays because otherwise I look like a man baby.

That being said, there are tons of guys here in Arkansas that wear the chin strap completely unironically and some of them aren't fat guys.

I think I have met him then; not at that shop but elsewhere in the LA area. Good to know I'm not crazy; when I saw his face I just got all of these vague recollections about how weird he is (exactly as weird as you'd expect from that beard).

You know, sometimes I wish that I had become addicted to some hobby other than tabletop gaming.
