The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Late to the convo but what the heck. Does time exist on the internet?

Do I find any of it attractive? No. Do I care? No, except for the nose. If I want snot in my soup I’ll go to Waffle House.

A couple years ago I read a university study that revealed an alarmingly high count of fecal bacteria on beards. Seems that people with facial adornments such as beards, and most likely lip, eyebrow and nasal studs, touch those things frequently.

Not long after reading that study I went to Telluride Bluegrass and so had the opportunity to observe a large number of people with beards and facial piercings and I'll be darned if they didn't touch those things repeatedly.

Chef, don't wipe your hands on your apron!
Waiter, stop touching your facial adornments!
