“Spiral Beard”
Dear Sir,
While I appreciate your commitment to stupidity and the Internet, your disregard for the majesty of facial hair makes tears of gold form in my eyes.
Sincerely,
Chuck McCarthy

It was a good run with the mountain man beard, but finally about time to get it under a bit more control.
Thanks to Mr. Nguyen at Georgetown Hairstyling who always hooks me up with a great haircut, and this time a beard trim as well.
Disney lifts long-standing beard ban
Okay, they’re only allowing 1/4-inch of growth, but progress is progress, right?
“It’s about time,” Foglesong said. “For the people who work at Disney there are lot of rules and regulations, and some might say its oppressive upon them but that’s all intended by the company to produce a predictable typical type product.”

Why Does God Love Beards?
A discussion of facial hair in world religions. (via Many religions require their men to grow beards. Why does God like hairy chins? - Slate Magazine)
Because they’re awesome, clearly. Then again, so are mustaches.
I’m cool knowing that I’ll never achieve this kind of beard, but I respect it nonetheless.

Nick Offerman of “Parks & Rec” has teamed up with Budweiser to ask American men to stop shaving in order to conserve water. Does this mean Budweiser will also stop brewing with water for the month? Because if you take the water out of Bud, I assume nothing’s left. BURRRRNNNNNNN.

I am enjoying the clean-shaven look for the moment, but don’t think for a minute that the World Beard and Mustache Championships have been removed from my bucket list!

Beard gone, at last.
EAST WENATCHEE, Wash. - A teacher who vowed nearly 10 years ago not to cut his beard until Osama bin Laden was captured or proven dead said he cried Sunday night upon hearing of the terrorist’s death.
“I spent my first five minutes crying and then I couldn’t get it off fast enough,” said Gary Weddle, 50, who lives in East Wenatchee but teaches middle school science in Ephrata.
Weddle has wanted to cut his beard for years. His wife, Donita, has wanted him to cut it, too. But for Weddle a vow is a vow and so he hadn’t even trimmed it until Sunday night.
Weddle was a substitute teacher in Wenatchee when the infamous al-Qaeda terrorist attack occurred on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, killing 3,000 Americans. Weddle was so caught up in the news that he neglected to shave. A week or so later, he vowed not to shave until bin Laden was captured or proven dead. He figured it would just be a month or two.
At the start of each school year, Weddle told his students the beard was a reminder of the attack. He frequently said he didn’t understand how anyone could use the name of his God to justify murder.

A field guide to Beards, in case you wanted to know the difference between a goatee and a Van Dyke, once and for all. Or if you’re on the lookout for a new personal look.
“William Shakespeare. Abraham Lincoln. Santa Claus. Behind (well, slightly in front of) every great man, lies a great beard. And now you too can join the ranks of the most illustrious beard-sporting gentlemen of history. Find out what each beard says about its wearer, which one will make women fall at your feet (and not run for the hills) and most importantly, which ones will get crumbs stuck in it. With marks on each one’s ease of grooming, growing and its potential to grate, whether you want to sport a French Fork or a Fu Manchu, a Soul Patch or a Chin Puff, we have the lowdown on the right set of whiskers for every occasion.”
