    So, to an opponent, which looks more intimidating?

    I'm going with grizzly.

    Jeeze, that beard goes all the way onto his chest, doesn't it?

    What if Benny made a vow not to shave until we win the MLS Cup this year? Jeebus, he would look like a wild forest animal out there. Opponents would back away, fearing rabies.

    Of course, anyone looks more grizzled after 10 years, beard or no beard.

    Testosterone levels are easily seen by hair growth. The body creates and uses more testosterone when growing facial hair. When facial hair reaches longer more mature lengths that are seen in beards, the production may level off or decrease. The desired level of testosterone for many male athletes is visible by thick stubble and short beards.

    So you are saying that testosterone has a negative correlation to length :D

    Clean-shaven Ben (I'm not sure how someone managed to get a picture of this moment):

    Oh, and there's a website called benolsensbeard.blogspot.com

    And I guess to answer the original topic question, I'd take him any way he'd let me...I mean...what.......?

    Hmm... I dunno... I'd say your unnatural Jay Heaps man-crush puts you solidly in the 65-70% range... ;)

    I am still trying to work out how the hell Cryptonomicon relates to this discussion. But, like Blondie, I am drawing a blank because that is one long ass book. Anyone?

    So, Benny was on WPL last night, as he usually is either Monday or Tuesday, and he's the clean Ben - you know, the one who looked like he shaved yesterday (or for me, 4 days ago). Then, on SportsNite, right after the WPL show, they show an interview of Ben, at practice, earlier that day - he's a semi-caveman.

    Good Ben's Breakdown last night. Mike Wise was really giving Ben some "friendly" grief about his age and the funniest was when Wise asked, since Benny was being so humble about his two goals (first one the goalie was sleeping , the other was a great cross by Burch and shot by Emilio and "anyone could have scored" the rebound) if he shouldn't feel guilty about being named "Player of the Week" this week.

    Oh, and let's not forget that Benny makes his sitcom debut on October 2 when the new show Cavemen debuts.

    If they don't use the Royksopp song, I am going to be very put out.

    "Remind Me." The one they play in the airport.

    I don't know why, but it makes me laugh.

    Oh, sorry, I actually thought you were making a reference to Prince Humperdinck, not Englerbert.

    I figured that's what you meant.

    The Royksopp song that plays behind the caveman on the moving walkway has been stuck in my head for some time now. It's perfectly chosen for that commercial...

    I've decided I prefer the Benny in this picture:

    I normally would avoid posting Boswell.com pic's, but this Benny face is too good.
