I didn't find out about MaBeGroMo until today. And I didn't shave for all of November and December. Had I known, I woulda kept it going. I’m pissed. I didn’t find out about MaBeGroMo until today.

I caved to wife pressure before I read the beard FAQ. Next year, I'm in. Before I shaved my beard, I hung Christmas lights, fixed the washing machine, and did some other manly shit. Since the shaving, the only thing I've done is shopped on Etsy for handmade christmas crap. I hate having a face that feels like my ass. DAMMIT!! I caved to wife pressure before I read the beard FAQ.

And an Indian guy commented on it today at work. You know when someone from India comments on your beard, you're doing something right. Of course he was the same guy that asked me last year if I was joining the Taliban. I promptly asked him to get my Bin Laden's number, since I knew they were tight. Apparently having a beard also makes you an expert on all things beard related (you can list this under that entry where you were an expert at the hardware store -- which I can't find the post but I SWEAR I remember reading something about that). I've been asked for shaving techniques to avoid making your neck break out afterward (hello? DON'T SHAVE!) and I've also been asked how I get it soft, which puzzled me, because my beard is actually quite coarse. Perhaps it just looks soft... which would make more sense out of the whole grizzly bear comment. I'm just afraid that an event in the future is going to require me to shave (or be more beneficial if I shave) and I'm not gonna get to be a MaBeGroMo champion this year. :( ™ * The emoticon ® is a Registered Trademark of Russia. P.S. We're all expecting a 50,000 word LOR post as soon as you get your house schtuff taken care of. Go ahead and post it in PDF format so we can print it out and read it on paper. Thanks!

If they get long enough, I'll comb them downward toward my chin. It’s been 10 days now, and all I managed to grow was a few extra eyebrow hairs.

I do however have a ridiculous picture of me freshly shaven, hopefully it will suffice. May the Beards continue to flourish!
