What the...

How do I end up with knots in my facial hair?

And I'm not talking tangles, here. I mean multiple individual hairs with nice, tight half-hitches near the ends. Do I need to leave milk out for the piskies, or something?

Having just watched Hogfather yesterday, I am inclined to blame the Facial Hair Knot Gnome. :->

This is what I'm thinking, too. Unremarked cousin to the Sandman. Right up there with the Pillow Slobber Fairy.

See, a braided beard might be kind of cool. But random hairs tied in knots? Kind of annoying.

That takes talent

[smarriveurr]

Seriously. I couldn't tie a knot that tight, that close to the end of a string that thin. Not if I tried.

I'd say you actually needed to leave out a wee dram for the Pictsies, but they're more like to steal your coo than to tie your beard in knots (oh, waily, waily!)

And how odd is it I'm the second to make a Discworld reference in this thread?

[smarriveurr]

Given the circles I run in, not as odd as you might think. ;)

Perhaps ragnvaeig woke up at evil o'clock and couldn't go back to sleep, and got bored after a while?

Hmmm. I know she'd wake me up to kill me, but there's no consensus on mischief.
