It’s a shocker!

Week 11: Beards are Beautiful!….

Beards are Beautiful!…right?

Well if not beautiful they are effective. Think of it this way:

• Beards are ECOLOGICAL: As a group we’ve saved 18 gallons of water each day by not shaving, that’s 1,620 gallons for the three months of the competition!
• Beards are HOLISTIC: With the added hair our body temperatures have been more stable and therefore so have our lives – we’re more balanced with beards.
• Beards EMPOWER: Our teams win more games. That’s right with March Madness upon us, you’ll find that those with beards teams win more basketball games. Also known as the “playoff” beard, it exudes power, confidence, and a level of self-control that those who shave just don’t know about.
• Beards make MONEY: well their supposed to! We’ve raised over $300 to date and looking to top out at $2500. We have a bit of way to go, but the answer is “growin’ in the wind”…Pledge your vote now! Thanks!

Week 9: Beards for Bread!

Trees, in their major growth period, put on what is called “good wood”. And like trees, the good beard is really coming in. Or is it?

Some of have chosen to trim or clip their beards, going for a shape category win. Others have chosen to clip their beards to not impair their social image – one even claims he’s saving his face pain by not letting his hair grow too long. Now, however, is time to separate the real beards from those fake girly-man things.

It is also time to gear-up for the finale! We are preparing our judging categories and enlisted judges. If you any thoughts about judging categories or are interested in being a judge please email Paul, paulc@mithun.com.

Thanks and always we are all in this for the bread! Please vote on your beard fellow now! That category is already figured out and we are looking to figure out who is the most money-winning-est amongst us.

Beards for Bread! Beards for Bread!
