Please Explain...

...Michael Phelps' facial hair in this photo.

8 cat calls:

He secretly dreams of being Travis Tritt, but sadly he was graced with beaucoups of swimming talent not a country singing voice.

That's what everyone looks like these days.

Um, I actually have the answer to this? Which makes me feel like a total nerd. But it's that he grows the goatee when he's training so that he can create more drag, so that when he shaves it off, he can swim even faster.

Thank you, People magazine, for that piece of my brain that I'm never, never going to get back.

Yeah, but that's not a goatee. That's like an Agent Cochese 1970's 'stache.

is it mean to say he's fugley? in a i don't know him so i'm going to objectively judge him and reacting against all these obsessions with him, in most angles and goatees like this only confirm the weirdness.

Is that from a porno?

It's just unfortunate, is what it is.

Who would want to kiss ANYONE with facial hair like that? Seriously.
