I got clean shaven from the age of about 25 onwards. Mainly because my beard grows oddly, and I have enough problems anyway?...  But yeah, I know some pictures of beards make you wonder how they keep them clean. |

I have not shaved my beard off since 1976. (Yes, I wash it daily, and keep it trimmed.) The brewmaster at Rogue brewery, John Maier has had a beard for years, and recently, they cultured a yeast from it, and made an ale. They called it "Beard Beer." Tasted fine to me...
So, I wouldn't doubt that in an unkempt beard their might be some bugs lurking about...

QUOTE FROM SNOPES: But that underlying “study” was actually merely a brief local news report by Albuquerque station KOAT that consisted of a newsperson and a Quest Diagnostics lab in Albuquerque taking swabs from the beards of a small handful of volunteers, analyzing them for microbes, finding a few seemingly yucky results, and discussing the outcome with a single microbiologist — from whom a few very short, sensational-sounding, out-of-context sound bites were excerpted. now.snopes.com/2015/05/05/beards-poop/So, as stated previously, some unkempt beards might qualify, but a large majority of the beards out there wouldn't approach this result? |

LOL! If I had a beard I could have entered as the Australian contestant for Eurovision this year instead of Guy Sebastian. Then again considering I can't carry a tune in a bucket maybe not.    an uncharitable wag would say that in America, being unable to carry a tune is no disqualifier, any more. |

Hey, we've had as many "talent shows" over here for the past 10-15 years as the rest of you (our TV stations have bought licenses to copy every concept from American Idol to Britain's Got Talent) and there are only about 6 million people in this country. The odds of 3 different "talent shows" finding actual talented people at the same time out of such a small population are so low that if being able to carry a tune was a criteria for getting on, none of those shows would have survived the first season.
In the past 10 years, even the best of the bunch have been mediocre at best.
