Yeah that beard is the culmination of my superior Photoshop skills (said with extreme sarcasm). Basically it started as a really funny picture of my dog wearing this stupid dog raincoat thing my mom bought for her. The picture is really funny if I find it I'll post it she looks so pissed off in it. Anyway, the grey beard area is where my dog's head was. Instead of actually attempting to cover it with something which would blend with the background I just used the paint tool to make a ZZ Top-esque beard to make things more umm realistic I guess. And yes that is my head (with a pencil in my ear you may notice as well) if anyone's wondering.

Inevitably someone will probably ask "why" so I'll just field that one now too. My friend and I were having a photoshop contest of sorts.
