Beard Watch '05
10.23.5
Starting tomorrow, the boys at work and I will not be shaving our faces for one month.
The rules are as follows:
- Today is the last day we can shave.
- We will not be allowed to shave until November 24th.
- No trimming or grooming of the beards will be allowed.
- We are to keep this "event" a secret from everyone else in the company.
- We are not allowed to let our wives or girlfriends bully us into bailing out.
- The only acceptable reason for bailing will be if we get word that the new higher-ups in the company will be visiting.
I don't think anyone really knows exactly why we've decided to do this. It started out as one of my manager's crazy ideas, and has now somehow developed into some kind of "brotherhood ritual" or "test of manhood" for the 5 of us.
Or something...
Everyone is prepared to look horrible, but I think I may end up looking the worst. See...despite my 24 years of living, I still have the facial hair growing abilities of a 14-year-old Cherokee. Patchy sides...bad teenage moustache. It's going to look downright awful. So, I've decided to start a temporary section on the site called "Beard Watch '05." I'll upload a new picture each day to document my descent into beastliness. Starting with this one:
Oh well...
At least I don't have to worry about shaving for a while...
