The human body is a funny and fragile thing. No matter how many preventative measures are taken, a person can still be killed by a wide variety of things: vehicles, falling rocks, animals, explosions.

Just normal, everyday things.

Even simple things can kill you if you have too much of them. In particular, these things are food, water, air, and sleep.

Too much food causes you to have a heart attack. Or possibly pop.

Too much water will cause you to drown in it. Or possibly pop.

Too much air will totally make you pop.

Too much sleep means that your brain stops working. And while scientists haven’t proven it, it’s probably likely that it’ll make you pop.

But there are considerably less things in life that will kill you if you DON’T get enough of them.

In particular, those things are food, water, air, and sleep. Continue reading “Sleep”

For each generation, a select few movies come along that extend beyond the screen. They impact not just film, but culture itself.

The Birth of a Nation. The Jazz Singer. Citizen Kane. Star Wars. The Blair Witch Project. Film critics laud these films for their massive impacts. Huge influence.

For the generation that was born in the late 80s, the second most monumental film (behind Jurassic Park, of course) was Space Jam, a film so important, the internet still holds onto the original website.

In celebration of No Shave November, The Greatest Blog Of All Time presents a series on facial hair.

This final No Shave November post might confuse you.

It is not about the leader of The Beach Boys, although his story certainly could be talked about in detail. At one point, he was considered to be on par with Lennon and McCartney as far as song writing goes. He wrote about surfing. But it’s cool, cause they wrote about holding hands.

It is not about a Barenaked Ladies song. Although, that could be worthy of a post as well. The subject of the post would be “Why did they try to cram so many words into each line of the song?”

(Side note: That song came out in 1992. Do you feel old?)

It is not about sports, although it is about a sports figure.

No, this post is about a man you may not recognize. His name is Brian Wilson,

….but you may know him better like this:

In celebration of No Shave November, The Greatest Blog Of All Time presents a series on facial hair.

Once upon a time, in a world much different from today, facial hair was regarded in a much different light.

Today, facial hair is seen as unprofessional. Dirty. Not so years ago. Years ago, it was actually respected.

If you were a man, you HAD facial hair.

Facial hair is the merit badge of a man. Does this mean that those who can’t grow facial hair aren’t as manly as those who can? Simply put: yes. Absolutely. No questions asked.

This view isn’t totally agreed with in modern times, however. The reason behind this?

The Battle For Masculinity.

In celebration of No Shave November, The Greatest Blog Of All Time presents a series on facial hair.

P.S. Another ‘stache post bears mention of Movember, a campaign to help fight prostate cancer ‘n stuff. In particular, today we highlight the work of Jason Sweeney, who posts Manly Mustaches Of The Animal Kingdom every day.

It is CLEARLY recorded that the ‘stache is a very controversial topic. Just take a moment to think about what associations are made when you think about a ‘stache.

Hint: It’s ALWAYS a negative association.

It’s never pleasant. But it wasn’t always that way. The ‘stache was once on the verge of being the KING of facial hair.

Then, tragedy struck. Continue reading “The Hubris of The ‘Stache”

In celebration of No Shave November, The Greatest Blog Of All Time presents a series on facial hair.

No topic in today’s society is as polarizing as the ‘stache.

No other individual fashion statement has generated as much disdain, then respect, then disdain over the years like the ‘stache has.

And it’s also worth noting this month, because of the re-dubbing of November as “Movember“. People taking part in Movember grow ‘staches throughout the month for the purpose of raising prostate cancer awareness.

Please check out that site. It’s a good cause. Continue reading “The ‘Stache”
