RSSMaBeGroMo 2007 Basic Period Over
We’ve reached the end of MaBeGroMo, gents, and that means it’s decision time. You are free to take a picture of your beard and return to the Roman ideal, or you can continue on your quest to becoming a MaBeGroMo Champion.
If you’re ready to return to beardlessness, there’s no shame in turning back now. You made it a month, and you have reason to be proud. You went against the grain and did something for yourself. You now have a good idea about how your beard grows (or doesn’t) and you’ve become a member of the beard club. Thanks for joining in and we’ll hopefully see you next winter for the next round.
For those of you who aren’t ready to get rid of the beard just yet, you’ve made a good choice. The winter is still far from over and you’ll appreciate your protected jowls when Cold Miser is throwing piles of snow at you during the next few months.
Remember: making it to February 14 will earn you the title of “MaBeGroMo Champion”, if you are looking for something to put on your resume.
Good luck everyone. Happy bearding.

CRAP!! I forgot that the “Champion” status went till February 14! I shaved mine off on January 1st. Not that I won’t grow it back out, I was just doing it to start off the new year with a new face.
I won’t make the same mistake next year.
I wonder if I can get some adhesive and glue it all back on…
Oh well, I’ve got a month and thirteen days to get my beard back.

Damn Sexy Beast. Do I see some gray hairs on top of your head?

Now this is disappointing…

I might have to keep mine going until it becomes a Zakk Wylde type beard of doom.

N0ia: Once it’s gone, it’s gone. You did good though. You did at least a couple of months, right?
Pablo: I’ve been grey since 21. Stop fronting.
D: that article is the biggest bunch of crap ever. That’s not even a beard. It’s a goatee. That’s just plain shameful.

Yea, I actually had a beard going into November, put down the razor (and the trimmers) and went through November and December.
I usually keep a short trimmed beard all year long, only to shave it off occasionally for the heck of it.
Wouldn’t it figure that the coldest day of the winter (only to be followed by the new coldest day of the winter) is when I shaved mine off.
So part of the regret is the look, but mostly because of the discomfort I feel when cold air whips my face.
I gotta agree with that article being crap.
My grandmother can grow a better beard than that.

Letterman returns tonight sporting a beard.
Was he in on mabegromo?

N0ia: Plant is probably older than your grandparents, so you’d think that he could grow a good beard. What’s stupid is someone naming it the beard of the year. If you’re going to pick a goatee, pick Kerry King’s.
And J4: I saw that today, too. #1GF! said it looked wrong, but I thought it was pretty awesome.
