Default The Great Top Gear Beard Off

As many of you know Top Gear Presenter Jeremy Clarkson; who has been voted as being one of the world's worst-dressed celebrities, and is a self confessed dull as ditchwater herring gull among men, is anti-beard.
As one of our forum members (Blind_Io) signature goes “The Anti-Clarkson: Young American male with a beard who drives a Honda and is prone to wearing hats... Hey! that's me!”. Now I don’t have a Honda and I don’t wear hats, but then I’m not to tall for my hair. I humbly suggest that our host try growing beards, hence a beard off, and try to beat our own Top Bearded Members.

PS: to those who have never had a beard, try they grow on ya

Post your best beard day

Hah, we did this at my old job once. Called it the Tom Sleck Mustache Growing Challenge! Rules you must be clean shaven on this date. You then have two weeks to grow the most powerful beard possible. Winner got a T shirt and bragging rites.

Beards are for pikeys, pirates and rally co-drivers, only those sorts of people can have them. Or homosexuals, of course. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Sigmund Freud, Ernest Hemingway, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Richard Branson, Vincent Van Gogh, Karl Marx, Jim Morrison, Jerry Garcia, John Lennon and Jesus. Truly a group of great men that are all equal in that they possessed great beards.

I'm not going to shave entirely, I've had this chin-wig since my second year in college and I'm not about to give it up now and go back to being a baby-face.

In your pitiful excuse for a meanful list, You forgot the most important, most powerful man ever that had a beard....



...Chuck Norris.

I went on holiday to Greece in 1976 and forgot my razor came back with a full set, liked it so I kept it. Went off to College in 1979 came back two years later to mum with a tash (shaved the bottom part off - improved pospects of employment I thought) - mum's comment:- "So you've grown a moustash then?"

Errrr, what can you say but - "yes mum".

Now happily married for some years I am completely clean shaven so regrettable I will not be participating in the beard off competition - good luck to all participants - Walter Goldsworthy excepted, if he enters.

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.

I snapped a pic of Jeremy Clarkson on holiday last year. He was none too pleased that I had a camera handy. A scuffle ensued to retain control of the camera. Here's the pic...

Sorry guys, but I can't join you.
I would need about a month to grow a respectable beard and I don't know if this would be enough, since I never had a beard before. images/smilies/lol.gif
