The Second EyesonFF Beard Contest

[Shorty]

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6904483/beardcontest.png

Hi ho, beard-growers! It's been some time since I held the beard contest of 2010 (http://home.eyesonff.com/general-archive/134068-eyes-final-fantasy-beard-contest.html) and I am proud to announce that in honor of Movember (http://us.movember.com), we are bringing it back! I know that Movember is for moustaches but in this forum we support facial hair of all types, goddamn it.

This time around we will also have a category for moustaches should members want to participate. I will need atleast two members to sign up for moustaches in order to activate this category. Please note that the moustache category participants are only eligible for the moustache prizes - they cannot claim the beard prizes.

This contest is the easiest thing in the world and requires absolutely no effort. Show off your manliness and enter! No effort, ladies will ogle you, and you win prizes! Win, win... win?

RULES:


Sign-up period will last until November 7th. The contest begins on November 8th.
All participants must be clean-shaven and agree to post a starting picture when they begin. Some of you might be apprehensive about this - please keep in mind that you are welcome to edit your picture in any way needed to conceal your identity if you so choose - ie, your eyes or whatever black-barred out so you are unrecognizable or whatever. Whatever you need to do that makes you more comfortable participating!
Contestants agree to post an updated picture atleast once every seven days. Pictures may be posted at any time in between.
Trimming and shaping is not allowed. Think Knocked Up Dirty Man competition rules.
NO SHAVING. This will disqualify you from the contest.
Members will be allowed to enter after the contest begins but they will only be eligible for secondary prizes, not the grand prize. If a member decides to quit at any point, they will be permitted to re-enter the contest, however, they will not be eligible for the grand prize.
This contest does not end at the end of November. It is a contest of endurance. Whoever lasts the longest wins the grand prize! Secondary prizes will be voted on once the contest ends. If the contest goes on for an absurd amount of time we will have a lightning round and open voting up to the public.


FOR THE LADIES:
Traditionally, the beard-growing contest is ragingly sexist. However, this time around there will be a smaller-scale contest opened up to the lovely ladies (or Mo Sistas (http://us.movember.com/get-involved/mo-sistas)). We want to include you as well! Ladies will be required to complete two small tasks and to post photos of themselves sporting beard or 'stache - drawn on, painted on, glued on, taped on, papier-mâchéd on, whatever you like. Voting will be opened up for points of the first two tasks and the best and most elaborate creation. The winner will pick one of three prizes listed below!

SPONSORS AND DONATIONS:
Sponsors are encouraged to participate! As a sponsor, you may choose a contestant and donate on their behalf to Team EyesonFF (http://us.movember.com/mospace/7815353) in order to encourage friendly competition! Post here the amount you have donated and the name of the contestant you are supporting. I will come up with a forums-based prize for sponsors who participate.

PRIZES:
The winner of the ladies may choose one of the three prizes listed below:

A super cute pink moustache mug, necklace or bow!

Locky
Shlup

Ladies and gents alike, post here to sign up!

[Jiro]

You know I'm in. I shaved yesterday (Oct 31) and I will take a picture today. I am ready to dominate​.

[Shorty]

Returning champ Jiro ready to take home another prize. Watch out for this guy, folks.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I really wish I could participate. I'm about to be working in a job in which I'm not allowed facial hair. I'd even get one of those beard cover things, but I doubt they'll let me. I'm certain I would win the prize for lasting the longest with a beard if not for job purposes as I can go years without shaving. My current beard has been going for about 10 months or so.

[Shorty]

Aw, Scotty :( That's okay, no worries!

This thread will now serve as a petition to get G13 to sign up.

[Pheesh]

Unless I get super yelled at by Tara when she sees this then I will participate. You can all witness the spectacle that is my sad, patchy excuse of a beard.

[Shorty]

Have her participate in the Ladies' Division :love:

Two Aussies pitted against eachother!

[Pheesh]

Is there anyone else who when seeing the announcement for a 'ladies division' thought there was going to be some serious leg hair growing going on?

[Shorty]

:stare:

[escobert]

Do I need to shave off my current growth?

[Shorty]

Yes. But it's for a good cause! And prizes! Think of the prizes.

[escobert]

but but but I don't like shaving! I don't even own a razor!

[Shorty]

Just do it once and then you don't have to do it ever again.

[escobert]

xD
does using my hair clippers count?

[Shorty]

You can't maintain during the contest, if that's what you're asking. Let it grow all manly and grizzly for just a bit while you participate!

[escobert]

No, can I cut off what I have with my hair clippers? I refuse to actually shave.

[Shorty]

Oh! I don't care what you do as long as you get rid of it to join.

Yaaaay can I add your name? :love:

[escobert]

yes, I shall join. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

[Shorty]

Yay Bertie!

[NorthernChaosGod]

Oh, I forgot shaving was a requirement. I seriously dislike being clean shaven.

[Shorty]

It's just for a little bit! Doooooo it, Juliebird. Do it.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

In the spirit of this competition, especially since I can't participate, here's a picture of me with a beard singing If I Were A Rich Man.


http://i.imgur.com/uwDOrqF.jpg?1

[Calliope]

It's a shame that Spuuky will refuse to participate for his beard is truly a thing of great magnificence.

In the spirit of this competition I too will stop shaving for the duration.

[Freya]

OOOOOO I'll join the ladies division! Beards are awesome.

[Tasura]

I'd participate, but I don't have a razor. But I'd win the longevity contest for sure, the beard I have now has been going for over 2 years, and one for 4-5 years prior to working in fast food.

[Jinx]

Is there anyone else who when seeing the announcement for a 'ladies division' thought there was going to be some serious leg hair growing going on?

I did, actually!

Sign me up for Ladies!

[Flying Mullet]

http://i.imgur.com/lP5TV.gif

[Madonna]

Removing a beard to participate in a beard contest? Pfffffffffffft. This game is for boys who are flirting with looking like men. Yes, grow a beard if you do not have one; you need it.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Right on. I'll participate this year!

[fire_of_avalon]

I'll sign up for lady beards! Or something.

[Cuchulainn]

What'sthe ladies do? Armpit? legs?

I'm already doing movember... so i'll sit this one out.

[Iceglow]

Being clean shaved for a day shouldn't be too bad since I've decided I like my beard. Throw my name in?

[Jiro]

48247

[Rantz]

I'll be participating in this!

[Slothy]

Is there anyone else who when seeing the announcement for a 'ladies division' thought there was going to be some serious leg hair growing going on?

I find the ladies lack of commitment disturbing.

[Jinx]

Hey, hey now. I was all ready for this.

[Shorty]

Was?

[Jinx]

Well, those are not the rules apparently! :(


still probably won't shave my legs, but not sure how much that has to do with the competition...

[Shorty]

If ladies want to have that included in the division, I am happy to add it. Pictures will be required upon judging.

[Jinx]

But we'd be starting a few days late~

[Shorty]

You aren't starting late, you're starting on time.

[Jinx]

Ooooooooooh, okay.

I think we should! I'd do it! I'm pretty sure foa would do it...this is to support our brothers' prostates! Come on, ladies!

[Shorty]

foa is already in! Haven't heard from locky yet, though, I don't think :colbert:

[Jinx]

Foa is in on leghair? If foa is in, I'm in for sure! When do I need to shave my legs by?

[Shorty]

Shave on the 7th, growth starts on the 8th. Ladies will be issued one task per week and judged by the public at the end of the month.

The men's contest is a contest of endurance, so it will go on longer. I know it's silly to have different rules for sees but the contest has to be different D:

[Jinx]

You really aren't giving my leg hair endurance enough credit!

[Araciel]

If only I didn't fail at growing beard.

[Calliope]

You really aren't giving my leg hair endurance enough credit!

Endurance? Isn't winter specifically a time of relief from razor burn and continual shaving/waxing? Trousers and woolen tights for the next seven months!

Mammals get thicker fur in the winter, deal with it :cool:

[fire_of_avalon]

The last time I shaved my legs was... probably in early August when I was at the beach. I ain't scared.

[Shorty]

I didn't shave for almost the whole month of October.

Eyes on Female Personal Hygene Confessions

[Jinx]

Maybe this should be an endurance contest fo the ladies after all...y'all bitches talk a good game...

[Cuchulainn]

bunch of hairy fuckin halions the lotta yas.

[Calliope]

Shaving comes under "personal grooming", not "personal hygiene". I said I didn't shave, not that I didn't shower!

[escobert]

Oh shoot I forgot about this. I will get a pic up of no facial hair asap

[Shorty]

The contest starts on the 8th, sillies! I will update the names of joining members later. I am a tired panda and the edit button is... way over there.

[Calliope]

I must be getting tired too. I just imagined you staring out your window and seeing a glowing red button outside in the distance that you would have to trek to in order to edit anything.

[fire_of_avalon]

In the snow. Up hill both ways.

[Flying Mullet]

I last shaved on the morning of November 1st then decided to grow a race beard for the Ironman I'm doing December 1st. I might as well sign up for this.

Here is my beard today:

[Jinx]

Can I shave my legs tonight, or do I have to wait until tomorrow (night)?

[Shorty]

Surely.

[Jinx]

Okay. I figure what's six hours, right? :)

Y'all other ladies best be shaving your legs tonight or tomorrow too!

[Shauna]

That requires actually shaving my legs ugh so lazy

(In other news, I wouldn't be able to since I will not be home proper again until Sunday. :( )

[Shlup]

Alright. I'm in. I can't resist.

[fire_of_avalon]

You guys have no idea what it's going to be like. I'm going to take a picture at half way with one legged shaved and one leg hairy just so you see what you're up against. I WANT THAT MUSTACHE RELATED GIRLTHING.

[Jinx]

That mug is mine. You best watch yrself, foa.

LADIES DIVISION:
Calliope
foa
Freya
Jinx
Shlup

A good number of competitors! If anyone still wants to sign up tomorrow, I'll allow it.

[Iceglow]

mmm tbh I'm going to have to withdraw just because whilst I grow a mean beard in no time at all, I'm going to end up shaping/trimming it very regularly of that you can be sure. I don't like looking like a hobo, I'm too damn vain.

[Shorty]

Just see how long you can last! Others might drop out before you. It's not for forever. Just give it a week or two! Or three!

[fire_of_avalon]

Claim Tiana. Because of reasons.

[Iceglow]

well I shaved yesterday morning (7th of November) so I'll grab a pic in a bit once I get up (I'm laying in bed atm)

[Shorty]

Yaaay!

[Freya]

:3

[Iceglow]

seriously though, my vanity is way too high for an endurance beard contest lmao

[Shlup]

Wuss.

[Iceglow]

call it what you will, least if you don't shave/trim your face you don't look like a hobo.

[Night Fury]

Is there anyone else who when seeing the announcement for a 'ladies division' thought there was going to be some serious leg hair growing going on?

I thought it was to grow my foof hair out :( Awww. Guess I better go shave then.

Also, is it too late to sign up for ladies division?

[Spuuky]

I won't participate not because I need or want to trim my beard, but because I refuse to shave it off to start.

[Night Fury]

Also, are those the only bearded ladies we have? I'd love a bearded Jane if possible!

[Shlup]

So is the ladies version officially leg hair or the photo thing or both?

[Shorty]

It's a both thing! I'd still like to see the creative beards you ladies can make to put on your lovely faces! The other two tasks really are very minor and won't take but more than a couple of minutes to complete.

That's FIVE days growth? Do you, or do you not, have a vagina?

[Iceglow]

Day 1 I guess, shaved yesterday morning.

[Jinx]

I'm going with bearded Belle. :3

[Flying Mullet]

One week in:
48300

[Jinx]

Since all of the guys started on a different day, do you think maybe you should make a list in spoilers of their individual progress? Like, even though Mulley's ahead of everyone, give him spoiler tag and then just add his photos with a caption as to where he is as he goes on? And do that with all the guys, just to make it fair and so we can keep up!

[Pheesh]

Here's me a couple minutes after my shave (an uninvited guest snuck her way into the background just as I took it u.u)

48304

Edit: No, I don't know why it keeps flipping 90 degrees when it shows up on all my image viewers just fine, and no, I can't be bothered fixing it on photoshop.


~It's okay poppet, I'll fix it for you <3

[Flying Mullet]

Edit: No, I don't know why it keeps flipping 90 degrees when it shows up on all my image viewers just fine, and no, I can't be bothered fixing it on photoshop.
Could you be bothered to fix it on GIMP?

Phil, you have a growth on your back that you might want to get checked out...

[Pheesh]

The doctors say it can't be removed. You get used to it though, apart from the gaseous odours it emits all the time.

[Psychotic]

Steve is the only man I know who is hairier than me. He will surely be triumphant.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Hello I'm bald faced. Hope my webcam is alright because it's all I have. :monster:

48302

[Shorty]

The contest begins today, all! If dudes can get their starting pictures in over the weekend, that would be much appreciated. Updates will be due every Sunday, so by this Sunday the 10th, the 17th, you get the drill.

Thank you to the gentlemen who have provided beginning photos. :jess: Lets see some more naked faces!

[Iceglow]

Steve is the only man I know who is hairier than me. He will surely be triumphant.

Sure, so long as I don't like experience a vanity overload. Normally I can't get past 2 weeks without dying for a trim/shave.

[Shorty]

I'm so excited to see so many faces :love:

[Jiro]

That's FIVE days growth? Do you, or do you not, have a vagina?

Are you trying to say you find me arousing? Because that's fine by me. You don't have to be ashamed. It happens to a lot of people.

[Shorty]

It's true. Not unrelated, I had a dream about Jiro last night that I am just now remembering.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Jiro dreams of sushi.

[Psychotic]

It's true. Not unrelated, I had a dream about Jiro last night that I am just now remembering.Well don't tease us, give us the details.

[LocoColt04]

Ugh, but but but but but my beard... there's already one super patchy part that only goes away when there's enough other beard to cover it. Also, for work, while I can totally have one, it has to remain tidy. So, I probably can't do the contest. Also, it started already, so there's that.

But I can shave and have 3/8" growth by the end of the day. ;)

[Jiro]

48360


PS keep bragging about your beard growing capabilities folks 'cause that won't net you the duration prize by far. :jiro:

[Rantz]

Beard currently in awkward inbetween state. The not-really-beard on my cheeks, which I usually shave off, is already getting uncomfortable and unsightly. CRY

48391

Edit: Please ignore the crocodile sticking out of my ear.

[Shorty]

Yay, beards! :love:



It's true. Not unrelated, I had a dream about Jiro last night that I am just now remembering.Well don't tease us, give us the details.

Details remain between me and Dream Jiro.

[Jinx]

Woah, Pontus, are you going for a FULL BEARD???

[Rantz]

I can't grow one as far as I know, but I'm not allowed to trim so I'm stuck with my cheek fuzz for the duration of the contest!

[Shlup]

BJ didn't think he could do it when he decided to become a bearded man, and it took about a year for it to become fully manly. You can do it!

[NorthernChaosGod]

Why do I see very few pictures?

[fire_of_avalon]

Oh yeah, I have to post my hairy leg pictures. BRB

[Jinx]

I'll just wait to post my Day 7 legs on Friday. :)

[Iceglow]

Day 6:

[Cuchulainn]

Why have you got a half-stache?

[Shorty]

Coming in nicely!

[Flying Mullet]

It's too early to shape your beard. :colbert:

[Psychotic]

I am disappointed in how unhairy Steve's neck is.

[Shorty]

Psychotic: Campaign Manager for the Promotion of Hairy Necks.

[Shlup]

He trimmed it! Steve is way too hairy to not have a neckbeard!

[Jinx]

DISQUALIFIED

[Flying Mullet]

48429
God I look tired...

[Iceglow]

As I stated prior to Shorty bludgeoning me in to joining. I'm way too vain not to shape my beard. Add in to that the high number of potential clients and higher ups coming through my office this month which means Management want us looking presentable... and I kind of have no choice but to shape my beard.

If that means you guys disqualify me then it's cool means I don't have to worry about week 2 making me look like a damn hobo!

[Flying Mullet]

Add in to that the high number of potential clients and higher ups coming through my office this month which means Management want us looking presentable... and I kind of have no choice but to shape my beard.
Lol, I understand. I'll have to shape mine Sunday evening/Monday morning. I'm about as far as I can get along with my beard and it being acceptable at work.

[Pheesh]

7 days in and my " '95 Chris Cornell Special" (http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2007/10/24/Cornell_071018020115468_wideweb__300x375.jpg) is coming along nicely

48430

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Starting next week I'll attempt better quality pictures with my phone. Webcam isn't bad but I don't have the definition you guys do.

I thought you were going to let it grow out atleast a little before shaping it! Shaping's not allowed, dude, just like last time. I'm really sorry, but I don't think it's fair to let you continue. :(

I did not realize it before because I think I was posting on my phone.

[drotato]

Hah.... Iceglow lost.

[Iceglow]

disqualified for shaping on day 6, still more successful than Jiro on his 12th day,

[Jiro]

Congratulations on being a bigger neckbeard and bigger failure at not shaving than me Iceglow :jess: It frightens me how many people find it necessary to throw quips and supposed insults my way to try and make themselves feel masculine. I didn't realise my lack of facial hair growing capabilities was somehow intimidating and emasculating for people, sheesh.

[Iceglow]

Oh stop getting your panties in a bunch Dak, I loves ya you know this. Just being funny is all. Also I may be a failure at not shaving but the mere fact that I HAVE to shave after 6 days of not doing so is a point.

Also now the disqualification is official I'm trimming the fuck outta this.

[Psychotic]

THIS IS A DISGRACE

I DEMAND A RECOUNT

#FREESTEVE2013

[Shorty]

He knows the rules! Believe me, I wanted him to continue!

I really want to see your face after like a year of not shaving. I think it would be glorious. :p

[Shlup]

Oh please no. My friend just completed his yeard and it's hideous; I've spent months trying to get him to shave it. And I like beards.

[Shorty]

FIRST TASK (out of three)
FOR THE LADIES

These tasks, along with optional photos of your lovely leghairs, will be voted by the public at the end of the month to determine our winner of the Ladies Division.

Draw an MS Paint picture of an EoFFer with facial hair! They do not have to be male and they do not have to participating in the contest.

Please submit (post in this thread) by end of next Saturday.

Ready, set, go!

[Shorty]

Please enjoy these examples of facial hair appreciation and join in if you feel so inclined.

[Iceglow]

You know with exception of Teen Wolf what all those beards have in common? They're shaped.

[Shorty]

well none of these people are in my contest are they

[NorthernChaosGod]

Oh please no. My friend just completed his yeard and it's hideous; I've spent months trying to get him to shave it. And I like beards.

But it's Dak, so I doubt it'd be the same. xD

It's not to make myself feel masculine kid, I need no help with that. It's simply to mock how pathetic an excuse for facial hair you have. There's no deeper layer to this for me. It's called a bit of craic or banter. If you're too precious to take a bit of a slagging on your worryingly hairless chin I'll not mention it again. Promise.

Gentlemen, please!

[Jinx]

But...why? Why do you feel the need to mock it?

[Shorty]

Jiro was one of our winners last time! Oh ye little of faith.

[Cuchulainn]

But...why? Why do you feel the need to mock it?

Because it's funny to me.

[Jinx]

to me.

Ah.

[Cuchulainn]

Glad you finally understand. This has been a big day for you.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Since the military won't let me grow a beard, and I look quite silly if I don't dye my mustache, I am celebrating Movember by shaving my pubes into a mustache shape. :cool:

I shaved my hairy legs. Didn't even take a picture. Sorry. :(

Majestic as fuck.

[Rantz]

I forgot to update the thread, but I wussed out as of Monday morning and trimmed/shaped. Couldn't do it anymore! If I had a month or two of vacation or unemployment I might have, but alas - it was just looking terrible. :(

heh guess which guy's last name is Beard

i had unofficially done this no-shaving thing for a couple weeks maybe, until i remembered multiple reasons why i don't like having a beard anymore. namely, i hate how i look with a beard (compared with cleanshaven) and it starts to itch like a mofo

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BAeQ5N3CAAAMKEl.jpg

[Iceglow]

Ironically perhaps being the first guy "disqualified" for shaping I've not had time to shape or trim anything since the initial shaping. This means I'm probably more beardy than any other competitor at this time.

[Flying Mullet]

Then we shall call your disqualification a mercy disqualification.

[Iceglow]

Before I actually take time to shape this and trim it back in... may as well show the boys how it is really done. Would have been day 10 tomorrow. I literally do need to shape and tidy at least once a week.

Bit harsh being disqualified for shaping your beard...Especially if you literally HAVE to for work.

Steve, you've to be commended, if for no other reason, than being ther only 'male' here actually able to grow a fucking beard.

Steve, you've to be commended, if for no other reason, than being ther only 'male' here actually able to grow a smurfing beard.Correction, only male capable of growing a beard who was also willing to start clean-shaven.

No correction needed. I stated only male here, measning taking part in this comp. if you refused to shave then you're not taking part and thus excluded from my random quasi-insulting gum-flappery.

[RocketMBA]

I have a cyclist's beard. If you're having trouble imagining what that might look like, it looks like I had a beard but it died and then my face was inhabited by the ghost of that beard.

[Pheesh]

Oh shit, yeah, I shaved like 4 days ago. I have a picture of right before but I keep forgetting to upload it.

[fire_of_avalon]

I still haven't posted any of my pictures, and I forgot to take a smooth leg picture because I'm dumb. I'll right this wrong today. I mean the hairy leg pictures. I am not shaving! Not until I WIN.

[Jinx]

This is going to be a long year, then, foa.

I'll try to post hairy leg pics today, too. :3

[Shlup]

Cutting it close!

Is this still going? Because Denmark is starting to get grossed out by my leg hairs. xD

[Shorty]

Yes! I took a break from EoFF for about a week and forgot to update here. I will do so shortly. :heart:

[Jinx]

Yahoo! :D

[fire_of_avalon]

I have no one in my life to be grossed out. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah big winnah winnah chicken dinnah.

[Jinx]

I didn't say I SHAVED them.

[Calliope]

My legs are looking pretty furry, and I'm sure Spuuky is going to get chastised at work for his enormous beard any day now.

[Shorty]

According to my calculations, I have updates from the following folks -

Chaps:
Jiro
Flying Mullet
Lone Wolf Leonhart

Ladies:
foa (completed task)
Jinx (completed task)
Shlup (completed task)

Bertie, Calliope and Locky - are you guys still in? Bertie, I need an update from you and ladies, your drawing, if you please! I think I caught everyone who's dropped out, but if I'm missing anyone, please let me know.


Ladies' Division
Final Task

The Ladies Division will be cut down to one final task (because I was absent for a week and forgot to issue the second). This task is to don a beard upon your lovely and beautiful faces. Be it in cloth, tinfoil, shaving cream, human hair, sharpie, peanut butter, whatever you want. Take a picture and post it here!

Please complete this by next Friday (or sooner), and then we will open the vote to the public! Pictures of your abominable snowmen legs are encouraged, but not required (although they may help you win the victory cup!).

Happy bearding!

[Jinx]

If I win, it really will be a victory cup, because I really want that mug! :3

[Calliope]

I'm not really in, because I didn't bother to shave at the starting point, so I have about double the growth of everyone else. I'm just posting in solidarity with my furry eoff sisters. Down with inane social convention! Re-evaluate beauty standards!

[Jiro]

[NorthernChaosGod]

Keep at it, Dak. :3

[Jiro]

If it grew with any sort of consistency I wouldn't care so much but like fuck there are just patches of crap all over my face. xD

[Jinx]

I am going to take a picture of my 23 Day Leghair Growth...then can I shave? xD I don't think the ladies are doing an endurance competition...

[Shorty]

Sounds fine!

[NeoCracker]

Not really in the competitoin, and I technically started 2 days early and now two days late, BUT smurf IT!

[fire_of_avalon]

Welp, here we go!

A cautionary tale is what I have for you tonight, because in my most bizarre fever dreams I never imagined the raw power even the semblance of a beard can provide to a once barren and peach-skinned visage.

http://i.imgur.com/ZFDSTp7.jpg
I had just completed the final braid in my Gimlette beard for Eyeson's Second Beard Competition and I was elated. Truly I had crafted a magnificent beard!

http://i.imgur.com/fy7fAJR.jpg
as I admired my braided dwarven beard, I felt unsettled. Something on my face felt... heavy. As though a great sense of responsibility had suddenly fallen upon me... and a certain majestic force was now pressed ticklishly against the skin of my face.

http://i.imgur.com/Dd4ReUx.jpg
truth be told I had never been so close to a ... well a mock beard, I knew it was a mock beard of course, but still - I'd never been so close to a beard so full and luxurious. As if it were conditioned regularly.

http://i.imgur.com/UZqTnDZ.jpg
Yes, it was gradual at first, but becoming more noticeable with each passing moment. This beard, woven from the hair on my head, was changing. It became heavier, fuller, more like a friend or an archenemy... a frenemy, if you will.

http://i.imgur.com/lvDONAq.jpg
But what am I saying... a beard is a beard! And a mock beard is just a mockery of a real beard! I tried to shake off this feeling bliss and dread mingling in the pit of my stomach.

http://i.imgur.com/fmLYX0s.jpg
The voice. Or, rather I felt it. I felt a presence of power unlike any I have ever known. Not holy and not heathen but unencumbered by the ideas of good and evil. It had no opinion on right or wrong, no inherent morality or amorality, it just was.

http://i.imgur.com/fzwGMSg.jpg
My mock beard declared. "LONG HAVE YOU WAITED TO BRING FORTH MY MAJESTY AND MY TERRIBLE FORCE. I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, I AM THE WARMTH THAT COVERS YOUR FACE AND THE DESPERATE TICKLE IN YOUR NOSE. I AM ALL YOU LOVE AND ALL FOR WHICH YOU DESPAIR....

And I will remain forever changed, and forever sans-beard...

Ladies and gentlemen we have just entered BEAST MODE

[Shorty]

Two days left for the remaining contestants to try in one way or another to upstage foa! Or will she come away with the prize...?

[Shlup]

I haven't forgotten! I'll submit something in time!

[fire_of_avalon]

The EverBeard saga is probably the best thing I will ever do with my life. If I die any time soon, please tell my family about this so they'll know how to prepare for my eulogy.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Probably do. Dem work clothez.

[Jiro]

Who is left? Is Mullet still around?

I regret not taking three hundred photos of my face at the start of the contest to use instead given that most people wouldn't know any different :monster:

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Who is left? Is Mullet still around?

I think for males it's just me and you. Mullet never gave any indication that he quit or shaved, but he didn't post anything last week :/

[Jiro]

Well I respectfully request your forfeit :shobon:

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

You wish :smug:

[Shlup]

Shit. I was really busy the last couple days. Not that I could beat foa anyway.

The beard looks nice, LWL!

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Thank you :D

Not a GoT reference I want to be warm faced while it's snowy out so I'll have this for a few months. The beard isn't going away any time soon.

Be prepared, Jiro. Be prepared.

[Jiro]

You can have it then, dawg. I'm just not that committed to looking like an idiot for a mug. I've already got one, after all :monster: So here's your last pic; I'mma take a shower and get rid of this crap :aimsun:

So long and thanks for all the fish :monster:

[Flying Mullet]

Who is left? Is Mullet still around?

I think for males it's just me and you. Mullet never gave any indication that he quit or shaved, but he didn't post anything last week :/
Mullet was out of the country on vacation for two weeks but he still managed to take pictures of his beard for posting when he returned. That's dedication folks!

However, my phone is being a twat right now and we're having a minor disagreement on getting the photos off of my phone. I will post them after I probably end up throat punching my phone to make it behave.

EDIT:

48937I have a hangover in this picture. Can you tell?

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Fair enough :monster:

It's on!

edit: Jiro, you're simply to dashing to look like an idiot :love:

[Shiny]

Mullet, maybe your phone doesn't work right because it has a throat.

[Shorty]

I declare foa the winner of the ladies' division for being the only lass to complete all the tasks required! Congratulations, you've won a pink moustache mug! Shlup and Jinx could have been formidable foes, but they were right to back out in cautionary defeat. No one could have bested that monstrous face fur.

Gentlemen, I will do an update of your progress and weeks passed tomorrow. But I am going to bed right now so :jess:

I was going to get around to it, but I never got to the store. :(

There was no beating foa anyway. Look at that beast.

Spuuky finally got a haircut and trimmed an inch or two from his beard today, so I guess in solidarity I'll finally shave my manly self also. He went from looking like an A+ rugged Northwest dude to an A+ soccerstar, I wish I'd thought to take a before and after picture.

Aside from becoming a little fuller, the beards aren't changing much any longer.

Wow, you look really good with facial hair!

[Shorty]

Looking awesome, guys! Yeah I'm not sure how much more full on progress we will be able to witness xD I think I will begin handing out prizes in the new year, if there are no objections. :jess:

Also, I have it on good authority that foa has received her prize and SHE NEEDS TO POST A PHOTO OF IT ASAP

I am thinking of calling a lightning round vote in the next week or so, otherwise I have a feeling that this will go on for forever with you two!

Finish it off by making them style it and then judge who did it best (plus points for fancy shapes and dye).

It's all I can do as it is to just shave, let alone making constellations and coloring them.
