Pick and Choose Your Stache

Ever wondered what all the different types of moustaches would look like on somebody?

Well wonder no longer if you visit Lord Likely's Extra-Ordinary Inter-Active Moustache-O-Rama.



You can see such classic styles as "The Dandy", "The Soup Strainer", "The Chin-Wagger" and many many more.

Annoying Hair

While hair has a number of utilitarian aspects, such as warmth, style/fashion accessory, non-verbal communication, and disguises, it also has its drawbacks.

Hair can be annoying at times. I've noticed this most recently with my motorcycle helmet. The strap that goes around below my chin can catch my hair and tug on it a bit as I ride around. It's a bit annoying but it can also be painful. I've also mentioned before the itchiness that can occur from growing hair.

What are other annoying attributes of hair?

Beards in the News

Beards seem to be in the news a lot recently, in fact check out this article from The Sun about celebrities, their facial hair, and what different beards say about personality.

Famous Movie Beards

Check out this article from The Daily Campus at UConn about No Shave November. It should help inspire you somewhat to keep your facial hair growing and not cave to the pressure of using your razor.

My favorite movie beard is Will Ferrell's from Anchorman while he was unemployed, depressed and drinking milk on a hot day.



What is your favorite film facial hair? Any from this list?

Beckham's Beard

It was recently reported that David Beckham is growing a beard for Halloween. If he is smart and/or reads this blog he will hopefully be keeping it for the remainder of the month to participate in No Shave November.



I mean if one of the 20 Sexiest Men can wear a beard, then we all should be able to, right?

Day 30 - 2008

I shaved most of it off today, and this is what I ended up with, the Fu Manchu.

Lumberjack Followup

As I posted a couple days ago the video of the lumberjack, I truly felt this concept go full circle as I unloaded almost 100 live Christmas trees at my store today.



The only thing missing from the picture was a great lumberjack jacket, which I could have gotten here.

Bearded Music for Bearded People

That is the motto for The Beards, a musical group that celebrates facial hair.

I would strongly suggest picking some music to help you through the month and to stay strong growing that hair, and what better music than that which was created with facial hair in mind.




From their Myspace:

The Beards are a bearded four-piece band who only play songs about beards and having beards. Onstage, The Beards preach about the virtues of having a beard with near-militant intensity. The audience will find itself divided as The Beards sing crowd favourites like Growing a Beard, Beard Revolution and No Beard, No Good. The beardless members of the crowd may find themselves singled out and chastised for their lack of facial hair, while those with beards may be brought onstage as an example of what having a beard is all about. But as hilarious as this oddball outfit are, they can be equally appreciated for their music.

Enjoy. (And please check out their music, it is very inspiring).

Day 16/17/18/19 - 2008

You may notice my hair is a little flat in some of these photos, blame my recent wearing of hats.

A Lumberjack?

Watching the following video, what is missing?

He really isn't that burly without a beard, I think things may have turned out much better for him had he a beard.

Thanks to Dav for inspiration with this video/song.

Facial Hair and Success

Does facial hair impact one's success in life? Check out this article about the relationship between the success of computer programming language and facial hair.

It does seem pretty compelling, and maybe even so much that I should keep my beard so I can guarantee my success in life. Although, chances are it might only apply to computer languages.

Day 13/14/15 - 2008

It's really starting to look full.

Wikipedia Update

So, while No Shave November does not have a full Wikipedia page yet, I have come across something that is pretty important for the entire movement.

The November Wikipedia page has No Shave November listed as one of the month-long observances during the month, along with Movember.

Anybody interested in starting up a Wikipedia page for No Shave November?
