Now This is Impressive

Brian Wilson first grabbed my eye while closing game five of the 2010 World Series. While most others watching this important game were captivated about the fact that The Giants would be winning their first World Championship since 1954 (eat it, Red Sox…you’re lives haven’t been that bad anymore…so go cry somewhere else…not you Mike Lowell…I love you.) So there I was trying to concentrate on the game when this miraculous beard came into vision. Oh, Brian Wilson, it looks like you dip your beard in a can of tar but I can’t take my eyes off you. He and Kevin Youkilis (Red Sox) look like they were both scouted at a biker bar… I mean I dig it and everything but they are two scary dudes. I think Wilson’s closing power is hidden in his beard. Much like Superman is rendered useless when faced with kryptonite…so are Wilson’s opponents when faced with that massive nest of charcoal hair….I love the fact I wrote a blog about this man’s beard…think about that. I took time out of my day for this :) I am not, however, the only one impressed with the power of his chin follicles. Time and time again, Giant fans arm themselves with fake beards while chanting “fear the beard.” I find it humorous that he has generated such popularity by growing a beard…then again this is no ordinary accessory.
