I didn't want to use a bear because of the counter-cultural connotations; Gollum is the every-man for Tolkien, the fallen human being who refuses redemption, and is what we all tend towards naturally. In this abstract sense, the social construct of shaving and hatred thereof fits well within the memetic usage.
