I knew they existed because my dad sports a beard (a real beard, not scruff) and has a trimmer, but I don't think I realized they could cut the hair that short.
My dad has a full beard too, and I guess it never occurred to me that he has to trim it to keep from looking like Gandalf. I just sort of assumed that it was naturally a stable length? Um, I can has powers of reason.
Perhaps...? Although I wonder if it's like constantly being constantly on day four of not bothering to shave your legs.
Stubble is not a fun feeling! Why do people cultivate it??
He told that kid who got grazed by the bullet in "Helping Hand" (the one with the dead social worker) that he had been a foster kid and got adopted into a family with three sisters.
Right, right, I vaguely remember that. (This show is so Bones, chopped up and put in a hat and shaken up and then reassembled at random. As Bones did to the X-Files.) Unusual for a foster kid to get adopted, I thought. I wonder how old he was at the time? (Also: wanna make a bet on dead parents vs. criminal for him? Season finaaaaaale!)
Possibly he was lying in order to connect with the kid and get him to talk about the crime, but that strikes me as a little advanced for this show.
Yeaaaahhh. And they probably would have highlighted the lie soon after, too.
