Advice on growing beards

Good find Jason.

Balding and Bearding

Take a look and you will see
That balding dudes like you and me

Grow hair real fast outside our skull
In fact it grows out of control

Chalk it up to Manly Genes
And ladies, you know what that means

So here's to dudes with hairy grills
And balding domes that scream 'no frills!'

Here's to bearding while you're balding
Enough to look like Alec Baldwin

Question of the day

Week 2

The Ballad of the Beard

Any man can grow a beard
in fact to not is kinda weird

But a beard alone is not enough
to show you've got The Manly Stuff

The hair must grow on front and back
and launch an all-out fur attack

It must be course, it must be thick
it must engulf your manly...face

Any man can grow a beard
and if you don't, you will be jeered

– Dylan Barmmer

Contest Rules

This is a BEARD contest. All contestants must be clean shaven on Monday October 13, 2008. All facial hair must be removed (this includes, but is not limited to mustaches, beards, goatees, muttonchops, chinstraps, neck mullets, John Waters pencil thins, soul patches, sideburns that extend below the earlobe, and Van Dykes).

For the duration of nine weeks the burly beards will be grown for the world to cower in trepidation. There will be weekly Beard Checkpoint Days with progress photos taken. Points will be awarded for each weekly Checkpoint so don’t miss out!

Beards are defined as facial hair grown from ear to ear. We understand some of you may have patches of reclusive follicles. For you we recommend a regimen of manly activities such as chopping wood, stalking and killing small animals, leaving the toilet seat up, and wearing more flannel. Be a man, grow your Beard and be proud!

The use of performance enhancing hormones or coloring agents is forbidden.

Winners will be announced sometime between 12/15/08 and 12/19/08.

Though the Beard Checkpoints are not mandatory (we believe in the honor system) they are a great opportunity to encourage your Bearded brethren during the growing season.

While we do not endorse trash-talking or making disparaging comments of any kind about another grower’s Beard, there are unsubstantiated medical theories that Beard Abuse stimulates follicle growth.
