Alright boys, it's that time of the year. For all you men who are manly enough to accept the challenge, here are your rules:
1. You must submit your shaven pictures by 11:59pm ON Nov. 1st.
2. You can submit either two or three pictures - If two, one of each half of your face - If three, two side-profile pictures, and one from in front)
3. The pictures must include your neck.
4. NO SHAVING! Honor system people...if you grow a wicked beard and think you'll be safe shaving half-way through and still growing it back by the end of the month, shame on you. We will find you. We will hurt you. We will shave you. Not just your beard.
5. Existing follicle features can be left unshaven. Allowed features include but are not limited to: Sideburns, soul patches, goatees. Neck shaving is allowed as determined by necktal irritation.
6. Individuals who can not cleanly shave on October 31st because they don't want Al Qeada thinking they are ladyboys can still participate, but an initial beard as short as possible is preffered.
7. On Nov. 30th, you must submit ending photos (two or three, depending on what you initially took) to be judged by your brethren.
Q & A
Q: Why should I participate?
A: Because you are a man. Men grow beards. Men are hairy. As a man, you should aspire to be a bearded man of steel, for beards are all that is manly.
Q: I can't shave because I'm in the military; can I still compete?
A: If you can't lie or bribe your way into it, try working on one specifical feature, such as a pornstache, also known in some circles as a mustache.
Q: Who are some famous beard and mustache clad men of steal that I can aspire to emulate?
A: Bert Reynolds, Zeus, Jim Morrison, Robert E. Lee, Confucius, Jesus (allegedly), Tom Selleck, Chuck Norris, and Uncle Jessy, to name a few.
Q: What do I win?
A: Besides legions of swooning women throwing themselves at you with ferocious vigor? A signature banner or something, maybe a matching avatar.
If you are in, post your shaved pictures in this thread and I will add you to the list on this first post. This thread will be used for update pictures (try taking them as often as you can people), discussion and general masculine revelry, and by the end of the month, a new thread will be created with final photos and a poll for Huskerboard men to vote on.
Go!
