... I don't get playoff beards.
I mean, clearly I "get" them as far as knowing what they are and how they've expanded as a concept into more and more sporting activities (although I do wonder what the ladies of the WNBA do as a tradition -- they have playoffs, too, right?). Perhaps it comes from not being overly athletic as a youngster, and so I missed out on having much of a team sport mindedness/orientation.
Mostly, though, my inability to "get" them stems from knowing how miserable I am this time of year as soon as my scruff grows out to the point where it gets all irritated -- especially when I get all neck-sweaty. I would think that, during the playoffs, one would want to be performing optimally, and I don't know how one can do so in that state.
In closing -- I feel like I should include the obligatory ... Go Hawks (the faster you get this over with, the sooner you can shave -- OH, wait a minute -- *now* I get it!)
