Default what is it with the natives?

The Aussie blokes I mean. Why do they think it is cool do wear these big long ZZ top style beards scraggy as you like all over the place while the top of their head is as bald as a baby's bum?

They look like bloody idiot's.

I work with a few of these specimens and they are ok blokes but they just look weird.

Its the "herding" instinct (or should that be flock?). Those with sheep brains feel they have to be seen as part of a flock.

Just like having to buy the "right" car, wear the "right" clothes.

It's that Aussie equivalent of the shaven headed pommie with the football shirt and the Burberry baseball hat. Get em everywhere.

Sounds like I'll fit right in!

The pic attached was taken a couple of months ago (I'm front centre) so I've had time to grow mine since then, I've got to about 2 inches below the chin at the moment.

I don't think I ever denied it was me. Apart from if I was trying to impress a female, then I'd deny it's me.
