I want a Beard Beanie!

Clive Maxfield

OK, I know I'm being silly, but I just ran across something called a "Beard Beanie" that I think is really fun in a strange sort of way that I can’t quite put my finger on because I don’t have one (by which I mean I don’t have a "Beard Beanie" – not that I don’t have a finger – but we digress…)


Quite apart from anything else, this might answer the "What am I going to wear" question when the world ends on 21 December of this year [Click Here to see my "Counting down to the EOTWAWKI (End Of The World As We Know It)" blog].

Actually these come in all sorts of colors and styles, so if we were to purchase enough of them we would be prepared for any occasion. In addition to the Earth with Black Jeep Cap shown above, there's a rather fetching Black with Chocolate Brown Jeep Cap, or a Dark Grey with Black Regular Beanie, or… the list goes on.

There are also some interesting variations available, such as the Pirate Edition Beard Head shown below, but personally I think that's just a little silly (grin).


I must admit that I am rather taken with the Earth with Black Jeep Cap version shown above. I know that this is a frivolous expense that I really cannot justify – but the winter is racing toward us and I'm convinced that I would be the envy of all my friends…

I think this could make my look rather distinguished (in the right light :-)

Distinguished is *one* word that could be used to describe it...

So hopefully Max the company will send you a freebie for all this free advertising, and we can look forward to a photo of you looking distinguished in one of these soon??

It would be immodest of me to tell the company that I had posted this blog ... but if you wanted to drop them an email I would hardly be in a position to stop you :-)
