Gaze upon my virility! (Or The Great Beard-Off of '06!) Now

Post by Crawler »

For the past 6 months, I've been growing a goatee. Constantly growing, no trimming or anything.

Needless to say, it's gotten long. It began as a friendly wager between myself and my friend Lucas. He was convinced that he could beat me in a "beard off".

The stakes were set (bragging rights only) and the rules were outlined: We'd have 6 months, October 1 to April 1, to grow the longest beard. On April 1, they would be measured and the winner would be announced.

I won. By an inch and a half. It's now over 4 inches long...see for yourself:

And now, the Great Winter Beard Off is over...and I'm getting this half-a-dead-muskrat the hell off my face. (And getting a haircut for the first time since the beard off began. ;) )

"If you live your life to please everyone else, you will continue to feel frustrated and powerless. This is because what others want may not be good for you. You are not being mean when you say NO to unreasonable demands or when you express your ideas, feelings, and opinions, even if they differ from those of others.â€

OK - so where is the de-pelted version? Do you feel 10 pounds lighter? Enjoying the fact that you no longer have "snacks" waiting to discover 1/2 hour after a meal? At least you should have avoided the lovely reverse tan look of a beard grown during the summer :D.

Maybe I should do the same with one of my friends... Don't shave your legs for a couple of months... :smirk
And now there's life/ And a chance to make up for all those mistakes/ But please don't get me wrong/ Cos everything was honest/ True and from the heart/ There's still the same old hang ups so don't fret/ It's not safe yet/ And who knows there's always time to screw up again

:LOL Yeah, on second thought.....

Seriously, speaking of nasty displays of hair growth, I knew a guy in high school who could braid the hair on his legs. Lots of little cornrows running down his legs like tights. His girlfriend braided it for him. I had to sit next to him in history and couldn’t stop staring….
