List of accomplishments by Abe Lincoln

1. 16th President of the United States

First Post

Tim and I went to see our mom this past Sunday afternoon for some snacks and football.

(to give you a time frame: this is 2 days after entering the Beard-Off Competition)

She's sitting on the couch beside me. I can feel her looking at me. It becomes more and more frequent until finally I turn to her.

"What?!"

She says, "I don't know why you have to make yourself look more ugly?"

Which brings us to the question - Why grow a beard?

1. you're a man (or at least not a child or woman)

2. you teach philosophy at a prestigious university

3. you're in a beard-off

All 3 for me.

It's a long road ahead, but I'm certain it will be a fulfilling experience. I've already begun to grow hair on my face. I'd say for me, the best way to describe the competition so far is like training for the Olympics with Dean Cain. He's so distractingly handsome.

I leave you with some dudes with (totally) excellent beards:

Hello and Welcome

Friends and Fans,

I would like to first thank you all for your support because if it weren't for you I would never have the balls to do this. And by fans, I mean the 4 Beardos and Corinne. I guess Danielle too, but let's be honest she is going to hate every minute of this. Secondly, I would like to introduce the persona that I am "growing" into, Hairy Sanchez. Slowly, I will begin to look like I am from Hispanic decent. The ladies will start going crazy over the sweet crustache taking over my upper lip. This is the same crustache that I was able to grow in the 6th grade and let me tell you how I was king of the school because of that. This, I guarentee, will prove true again.

I hope you enjoy what we have to offer. You shall not be disappointed.

Pictures to follow soon

Yours truly,

Hairy Sanchez

WE'RE GOING BEARDING!!!

Welcome to the 4beardos (tm) blog, home to your news, updates, and progress on the Four Beardos Beard-off Competition.

Background: It was a night not unlike any other in Philadelphia. While sitting in a circle on Corinne's patio (secretary/treasurer) Doug, Dan, PJ, Tim and Danielle were preparing for the night to be. Everyone was in usual form; Doug was telling dick and poop jokes, Tim was complaining that everyone wasn't drinking fast enough (while secretly questioning his own drinking problems), PJ was telling us to call more girls and Dan was desperately searching for a cold Yoo-Hoo.

Nobody knows exactly how it started, I like to think it was divine inspiration, but the topic of a beard competition started getting tossed around. A Beard-Off was born. The conversation continued to evolve, and next thing we knew we had it all laid out. We'd have a beard-off that will culminate in a beard-off party/contest. At a date to be determined, there will be a beard boasting contest in which every attendee of the party will cast their vote on best beard.

The losers? The losers will be thoroughly disgraced and be forced to parade around Main Street Manyunk wearing too-toos. Fairly high stakes for such a nonsensical contest.

The purpose of the blog will be to allow the four members of the contest, Doug, PJ, Dan and Tim to update you all on progress of the beard contest, keep you updated on when and where the party will take place, and to allow user feedback on suggestions, tips, beard commentary, and complaints on the Beard-Off.
