The third one is priceless.

http://www.albatrus.org/english/livi...wear_beard.htm
" That God gave the beard to the man to be kept is certain and if God has given something is to be had for sure for God is perfect in every way, by definition. Thus when imperfect man is shaving off the beard God gave him what is he really saying to God? "Look God, you made a mistake here, I know better, let me help you, and negate what you erroneously gave and I shall fix it by removing it. Indeed if I could I would eradicate it completely, for my wife does not like it." The shaving of the beard off is a rebellious act toward God and His creation, if not a defying act of arrogance. "

Hey Wit, does your father in law have a beard?

Is it as common as needle me, cuz I've never heard either before :p

Yes, as a matter of fact

verb (used with object)
15.
to sew or pierce with or as if with a needle: to needle a patch on a sleeve.
16.
Informal .
a.
to prod or goad (someone) to a specified action: We needled her into going with us.
b.
to tease: We needled him about his big ears.

But have you ever heard of reading in context? What would you guess "needling me" would mean? If you did figure that out, why act like you still don't know?

I never said I don't know, I could infer it from the context of your statement. Both "wearing a beard" and "needling me". I just never heard anyone use either in that context ever. Which is what I said.

Luckily, GTA:Vice City was the first and last game to have that feature. GTA:IV doesn't have the trailers mode, but in "The Lost and the Damned" expansion, there is an option for film grain that is equally useless.

Just because something is aesthetic doesn't mean it has a use. A car with red paint doesn't go faster than one with no paint.

That's exactly what I was getting at.
