I feel really bad about this now, having seen the picture above.

I'm liking Captain V for his uniformity and general neatness of beard.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Wed 24 Dec 2008, 18:26, Reply)

Well,
I'm liking Vipros's very much (and have examined his beard IRL). But there is something very appealing, in a gingery way, about Mictoboy's. I like the wispy bits underneath: a solid, yet whimsical approach (erm, am I taking this too seriously?).

I am aware that when I stroke Bill's beard he purrs like a cat, but I'm supposed to be basing my decision on pictures.

Hmm, what shall we do? Shall we leave the competition on for a few days and let more people join in? I guess an awful lot of people are stuck with their internetless parents - haaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!

I'm back home and bgb nudged my memory. Fortunate for me the challenge is still open!

Here's my entry.

I grew this over five or six weeks after I heard about the challenge. It's the longest I've grown it for years although I'm generally fuzzy. It eventually had to come off due to itchiness.

Hooray for beards!
I am looking for a substitute for my newly displaced nicotine addiction. So far I have tried cheese, alcohol, chocolate, salt and vinegar crisps, coffee, and The High Plane Drifters - separately and together.

Beards, though... A healthy addiction to develop. It may provide a lasting high, one for which the reward far outweighs the costs to health and wealth.

Thank you fair b3tans for enabling me to indulge my new dependency, and helping me to nurture it into healthy existence.

I shall return to do some judging when I have regained my composure and recovered my dignity.
