First Annual ATOT Beard growing contest!

Okay ladies and gents, we're going to start a tradition here on ATOT. It's something that I have read about small towns doing, and it always seems like it's done in the fall just before things start to get colder. -- A BEARD-GROWING CONTEST! --

Rules are as follows:
You MUST submit a picture of yourself clean-shaven. This is our reference "BEFORE" photo.

We will begin the contest the last Monday of September -- that means the 26th this year! You MUST shave on the 26th. Only a few more days until we start! We'll rely on your honesty on this.

Every week or two, submit another picture of yourself to show progress. The contest will go for however long we decide here. Shall we go for a month? Two months? Do we go longer and look like ZZ Top? Let's get some feedback on how long the contest shall go.

Ladies, if you'd like to participate, perhaps we can have a leg-hair growing contest. Some of the burliest, hairiest legs I've ever seen belonged to a woman. So strut your stuff if you so desire!

I want to hear tales of people taking herbal stuff and vitamins in hopes of growing longer whiskers! I want to hear trash talk! This is just something fun to build a little comraderie and add to our already rich tradition.

Let us know if you're in. And get your "reference" pictures posted. I'll be getting mine up shortly.
 
Hmmmmm. I think my girlfriend might object but that doesn't mean I won't try. I've never grown a beard before.

I don't get a beard. I get facial hair that looks like the plague. Not to mention Mexican wiskers.


edit* No idea why I quoted that, heh.

OK, only of you don't shave your legs. 😉

The hair on my legs is blonde and you can't see it anyways... now armpitts on the other hand, i'm practically gorilla girl. Gotta keep the pitts shaved though otherwise the BO is nasty 😉

Yup, if they can do beards, AWESOME. If not, they can do legs! I KNOW you gals can grow some bitchin' hairy legs.

LOL - I shave my pits, too. And I'm a guy. I hate getting the matted, twisted hair under there. And I think I use much less deodorant when there's no hair there.

Well, we could have prizes for "fullest beard", "longest", most "wispy, Gandalph-like", "wimpiest", etc.

don't forget beard with the most food stuff and the highest plant growth rate. beards are gross!
 
I'll do it if only I get a prize for the most mach3 blades I dull when finally cutting it off. I have a red, thick-as-copper wire viking beard that has kept me warm a few winters. But it would take at least 4 blased to cut off.

Hmm, well the hair on my face is red, but I have brown hair on my head. People think I dye my beard red. 😕 It looks wierd near my sideburns where it changes colors. 😛
 
Come on, you bunch of italian wusses! There has GOT to be some "have to shave again before dinner" italians on here!
 
Hrm, I would be all for this but I have an existing goatee that hasn't been cut in over 6 years

Here is a good reference, can I play along and just connect my sideburns and goatee? I'll also be shaving my neck...
 
In case you geeks have never grown a beard because of the massive itching, allow me to inform you that the itching goes away once the hairs overlap, then it only itches when you snuggle into something, like a pillow. For me, since my hair is so thick, I go 2 weeks of itching, one day of pain and itching and then continuous serenety and warmth.

Nevermind the fact that most guys look like an 80's soap opera star. Yeah - gonna get all the chicks with that 😛
