    Indeed. He's got my vote anyway (even if this isn't a democratic process).

    Pfft. I see only goatees not real beards

    I propose a challenge:

    My beard is also currently at goatee length (had to cut it off for a job interview).

    Longest beard in 6 months starting from now wins.

    Prize to be determined by some hairless lapdog that isn't competing.

    I started mine Saturday, May 1st. I was just gonna post a picture after a month and shave again, or style it.

    I'm just gonna admit defeat already. My face fails at growing a proper beard.

    Jon's beards are friggin' prehensile. I can't compete against that.

    Sounds like fun, but I can't. Working in sales/marketing means I have to look at least somewhat presentable. And my beard goes curly after a certain length and makes me look like a terrorist. So, you gentlemen have fun without me.

    Yeah, I also work with customers every day. I'm the face of the company and all that bullshit. Plus, if I don't keep my beard trimmed, there's a significant chance of it catching on fire. I don't think it would make it to 6 months.

    It hurts to think about, because he doesn't post anymore.

    BECAUSE HE HATES ME THATS WHY

    We need a human sacrifice...

    What about a beard sacrifice to appeal to the greater beard gods?
  • TheFlameOfHeartsTheFlameOfHearts
    edited May 2010
    Yeah, the beard sacrifice for the greater beard gods is a given. However it might help to make a human sacrifice to the lesser beard gods.

    I'm not sure the beard gods would really appreciate people sacrificing their beards. I mean you don't become a pacifist to appeal to Mars.

    Or, most correctly, you don't sacrifice the ability to create war to Mars, or your lover to Venus, or your smithy to Vulcan, so on and so on.

    Hey, bearded ladies are for reals.

    and some are kinda pretty.
    Now, 20 months after growing my beard, I feel great. I feel sexy.
    I go to bars with my friends, and yes, men flirt with me. I've even been on a few dates, but I haven't met anyone special yet.

    Sometimes I trim my beard, sometimes I let it grow long and use wax to style it.
    And you know what? If I could make my beard disappear, I wouldn't. It's part of me, and you can like it or lump it.
    Personally, I love it.

    And this was bound to happen, a man in Dubai was tricked into marrying a bearded lady.
    An Arab country's ambassador to Dubai has had his marriage contract annulled after discovering the bride was cross-eyed and had facial hair.

    The woman had worn an Islamic veil, known as the niqab, on the few occasions the couple had met.

    The envoy, who has not been identified, told a Sharia court her mother had tricked him by showing him pictures of the bride's sister, Gulf News reported.

    He only discovered the deception when he lifted the woman's veil to kiss her.

    The court had annulled the marriage contract but rejected a $130,000 (£83,000) compensation claim for gifts he had bought his intended, the report said.

    I've always joked about how awesome it would be to have a beard, but... I don't think I could ever seriously walk around in public with facial hair. It's too much!

    Too much awesome!

    They're also useful for storing small items and food.

    That's what Greg always says. Whenever I try to pull out crumbs from his beard, he yells at me and says he was saving that for a snack later.

    I'm just trying to help out :(

    You are a very frightening man. This is why Japanese women would scream and scatter whenever you ran in their general direction. Like Reiko did.
