Beardvember

























Beardvember is in full swing and my beard is beginning to develop the maturity and sophistication one might expect from a pageantry caliber beard. For those who haven't heard, I am heading up a beard growing contest at work during the month of November. Myself and 12 of my co-workers are vying for the title of Mr. Beardvember 2010. We have been taking weekly photos to track our progress. On Nov. 30th, we will take our final photos. The women in our department are then going to judge the submissions and crown the winner. Since only one man will be lucky enough to bear the title of Mr. Beardvember 2010, we have also created honorable mention categories. The categories include:

Most likely to have a restraining order
Most likely to be flagged for additional screening at airport security
Most likely to be asked to eat in the other room at Thanksgiving
Most likely to make children cry
Most likely to be asked by HR to shave

...etc

I'll keep you posted on how the pageant goes and where I place.
