RSSBeard Shaving 2008 Set Finally Arrives… A Year Late
Before all my beard types were collected into my Quest For Every Beard Type, I would try to tie each year’s pictures together through a loose, and usually odd story about a bearded mountain man.
The 2008 beard shaving pictures never made it to the web as a set, but after receiving a couple of e-mails asking where they were, I figured that I should get them out before the 2009 pictures came due.
If you miss the strange little stories that accompany the annual beard shaving sets, the bearded mountain man returns once again as Thaddeus B. Butterworth in Beard Shaving 2008.
Shaving sets from other years can be found on my beard page.

Now there’s a story your children will be proud their father wrote … penis liquid cooling systems??? They will however laugh profoundly when they see the return of “Mountain Man”. They will most definately wonder what “Mountain Man” was doing in the woods all that time to look that disturbing upon his resurfacing. Funny stuff Jon Dyer!

Not to be a jerk, but I think the hook from “Butter U Bread” from your second album sounds alot like “Ice Ice Baby”. I hope you gave proper credit.

It may just be me, but I can’t read any of the stories
I only ever get the first picture, regardless of how many times I click next. The same is true for previous years. What am I missing?

I totally LOVE beard-shaving day. Everyone gathered around my desk to read it together. For that brief moment, I was popular. Thank you for that, Mr. Butterworth.

@Joyce: [bows]
@macoosh: Achievement unlocked.
@Doles: Oh no. That hook was totally legit Butterstyle. Ice was all “dun NUN NUN NUN dada NA NA” and I was all “”dUN nun nun nun DADA na na”. It’s totally different. I’m 2 legit.
@Pablo: The B originally stood for “Butterworth” before it was co-opted by the MAN.
@Mark: I’ve narrowed it down to being a Mac issue, but I’m working on figuring out exactly what’s going on.
@Tomm: WHOOP! WHOOP!
@Brian: As much as I think that’s awesome, I can’t help but feel a little sad.

First of all, you look just like your Dad when you have the Chaplin/Hitler ’stache. Secondly, I am SHOCKED that you own a Red Sox hat.

I dig the yearly beard shaving ritual you’ve got going on. I did something similar with a photographer friend. I’d shave a specific beard type and she’d take some pictures. It became a “facial hair art” exhibit. Here are the pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/angelakleis/sets/72157601595879753/.
