A simple electric beard trimmer will keep them at bay. It works on ear hair as well. Bushy eyebrows? That, too. If you’re a Hobbit, it’ll work on your toes.

Screw all those fancy shmancy battery-operated dealies. What happens when the battery gets low during a crucial pre-date clipping? Go manpowered and use [these](http://shop.store.yahoo.com/nashvilleknifeshop/doklstnoearh.html) or [these](http://www.skincarecatalog.com/tweezerman-deluxe-klipette-nose-hair-trimmer--2901-r.html). (I use the former, myself.)

I’m friggin 26 and I’ve had nose hair problems since about a year ago. I have to yank those suckers out every couple days to keep up. “This is bullshit,” I say.

I think you guys should see how long you can grow them and work on the Guiness Book of World Records. I recently saw the world record for longest ear hair.
