O.M.G im a beard stroker !!
Your description cracked me up when i read it and then the next day at work, while grouting pavers i hit auto pilot and thoughts went to climbing. And then i realised " oh hang on " "HANG ON"
beard * tick
stroke beard * tick
old * tick
the good old days * tick
hexes * tick
etc , etc , tick tick tick . . . . .

Hay . . . . I'm a beard stroker !!!!!!

So seeing as you seem quite an authority on this matter , before i go back out into public, i wanted to ask, Is being a beard stroker a good thing . . . . or a bad thing ??
