How I learned to love
The Fun Fur. It all started with a raised eyebrow. I had an itsy bitsy bit of eggplant colored "fun fur" in a bag somewhere. Just in case Babs needed a boa. First it was the eyebrows. Then I figured I could really use a beard.That horrid little pink mountain on my chin, I couldn't be walking around in public with *gasp* a blemish! Oh yes! A multi-purpose beard I is just what I need. I grabbed a piece of paper from the printer and squished it around my face to make an outline of beard placement. Figuring I would just knit it as the shape of the paper. About three stitches into it I realized I was on crack and there was NOW WAY I was going to knit a whole freaking beard in Fun Fur. I downgraded to a goatee to minimize the torture. So Kids, step right this way to see the ..well..
I know what you're thinking: WTF?
If you laugh, well, I'll do something, you you musthave an embassy around here somewhere.
You talkin' to me?
My eyebrows have Super Powers!
I come in peace. Unless I'm playing that guy in prision then I'm not.
Never underestimate the need for a good roll of adhesive tape.
Yes, I am easily amused.

I love it, you look like those iron-filings games where you take the magnet and drag the hairy-looking filings onto the pirate's face.

I just coughed up a lung!
You know when you laugh so hard and you have to put your head in your hand and rub your eyes. I'm tearing up. I would have NEVER, EVER thought of knitting fun fur facial hair.
I.CAN'T.TYPE.ANYMORE.

*snort*
oh my, Wendy. wasn't spinning hankies with Lucky and Kiddo enough to keep you busy?
for goodness sakes.
you've lost your mind.
again.

Well I'm not easily amused and I just snorted a pistacchio into my sinuses from sheer amusement. Heeeeeee.
Thank you for saving my life. I thought blog land was so boring today that I was going to have to seal the windows and turn on the gas. Until I came here.

ACK!!
That's just wrong. You know what's even worse, Wendy? I've always thought you look like you'd blend into my family seamlessly, and now I have PROOF. You look almost EXACTLY like my brother with his post-Desert-Storm-screwed-up-in-the-head facial hair, except that he was skinny. All you'd need to complete the look is curlycurly hair.
*shudders*
Posted by: Ana at March 11, 2006 12:50 AM
OH MY! What a hoot.
I think you should get Kiddo and The Man in on the act and pose for a family portrait. Maybe get the groucho marx glasses?
That is just too funny and strange for words.

Oh my effing gourd. LMAO! That's awesome, Wendy. I needed that today. On the other hand, it was a serious "whiskey tango foxtrot" moment.

I will no longer complain about the nuttos that come in at my job, asking for stuff they KNOW we don't sell.. LOL j/k :) Had fun, didja?

My 3 year old son and I are laughing so hard. He keeps saying funny papa, funny papa. Thanks for cracking me up!
Posted by: Areli at March 11, 2006 01:54 AM
Oh. My. Gosh. That is just hysterical. It actually took a couple of moments for me to realize YOU were the one modeling! Too funny. Now I know what to make for Halloween. Oooh! Oooh! How about a Hallowig done w/acrylic stranded w/fun fur for the man, and then you wear the facial hair? Oh, the schemes....
Posted by: Erica at March 11, 2006 01:57 AM
Oh my AHHH! You have to knit a whole beard. You just have to!

Now you know what you'll look like when the estrogen dries up.

Wow.
Fine, fine, you can have my Board Loony title. You deserve it.
Posted by: monkee at March 11, 2006 06:19 AM
LMAO... it took me a minute to realize that was you! It is you under there... isn't it?
Thanks for the chuckles.

You rock, Wendy. :)
Posted by: Mandy at March 11, 2006 08:35 AM
Beautiful!!!
I want some ;)
Posted by: peri at March 11, 2006 08:47 AM
Erm...can I recommend some informational sites on hirsutism??
Otherwise, I suggest you use tweezers and razors...

I just nearly choked. That's fantastic. If there was an award for best use of fun fur, you'd win hands down.
Posted by: Rain at March 11, 2006 09:55 AM
Wow!
*takes a bow and hopes the electrical tape holds*
Thank you, thank you, thankyouverymuch!
Posted by: zib at March 11, 2006 10:51 AM
You complete nutter!
Love it!
Posted by: ali at March 11, 2006 12:07 PM
That is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. The fruits of a bored mind are plentiful, eh?
Posted by: amanda at March 11, 2006 12:58 PM
You look like Robbie Coltrane playing Hagrid!
Posted by: trek at March 11, 2006 03:08 PM
Wendy looks like you are ready for Purim. Have a happy one!
Posted by: Safranit at March 11, 2006 05:30 PM
My keyboard and sinuses are so thankful that I'd finished my tea before reading your post. Hilarious!
Posted by: Gina at March 11, 2006 06:00 PM
OMG, that is too funny! Thanks for sharing.
Posted by: Barb at March 12, 2006 02:26 AM
Zib, Hubby just said I should send the link for this to the gals at "You Knit WHAT?" Hee, hee!
Posted by: Erica at March 12, 2006 06:31 AM
Che! Groucho! Wookie! Rah, rah, Rasputin!
Purim Sameach, Baybee!
got milk?...got giggles. mucho, muy, molto, me'od giggles.
Good one, your Zibaciousness.
Was pondering how to dress as the Clue Fairy for Purim, but now, am thinking some wild orange knitted facial fur might be just the thing...
Looking forward to getting extremely orthogonal to reality in the next day or so...

Thats hysterical......and scary!!!!!!!!
Posted by: shonze (Shona) at March 13, 2006 12:03 AM
Why must you do this to me? Why must you make my family think I'm insane? Right now, my children are in the next room whispering, "Is mom laughing or crying?"..."I think she's laughing because she's not cussing."
WAY too funny.
Posted by: irene at March 13, 2006 02:18 AM
Dang that is funny! Sorry I missed it on Friday.
Posted by: April at March 13, 2006 03:19 PM
OMG, too funny. Reminds me of that cartoon guy from TinTin, hehe.
Posted by: Monica at March 21, 2006 08:38 PM
Okay...it's been a LONG while since I stopped by and naturally you do not disappoint...pazza! I love your antics...they keep me laughing as always. Thanks for that Wendy :)
