*voting is now closed* For those of you that voted, thanks and keep watch for the randumb prize winner tomorrow. For the other 300 people who read the post and didn’t bother to vote: eat a syphilitic dick. Can’t even spare 30 seconds to vote. Cock-knockers.
At the beginning of April my friend Matt and I decided that it was high time we stopped being little girls and grew manly beards. Dudes that we are, we decided to make it interesting by turning the whole beard growing process into a competition, and so Beardoff 2009 was born. Both of us have suffered through the slow, itchy, and disgusting process of growing a beard for 30 long days, and now it’s time for the winner to be decided. That’s where you come in, internet. We need you to be our impartial judges, so one of us can throw their beard-mastery in the other’s face. The loser also has to buy the winner a big, manly, delicious steak, because we’re men and that’s what men eat.
To sweeten the pot, one random voter will be chosen to receive some sweet prizes in the form of a DEATHCAT!!! t-shirt that Matt designed, and probably some drawing from my sketch book. That’s as good as we can offer without corporate sponsorship. The real prize is knowing that you have helped one man make another man cry, and at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.
Leave your vote in the comments. Make sure to leave your e-mail so we can contact you about your fabulous prizes.

I am really fond of a great facial hair related competition. I have to say Beard #2 is a bit more superior. It looks like beard #1 has some decent length, but #2 is thick, and very well filled in with excellent coverage.
Oh, and you guys should enter this:

though the 1st has character, im gonna have to say no. 2 out of sheer manliness. good luck to you both.

yeah, gotta go with #2

Beard 2 ticks all the boxes. It could even be transformed into a bewildering top lip caterpillar.

oh matt. your beard is valiant and sure. but i’m afraid that it does not quite bear up to the challenge. beard 2. to be fair, there may be a slight optical illusion working in his favor, because darker hair does look fuller. and i have seen you rock just the stache; you look a lot less creepy sans-beard than brad does.

ahahaha. thank you, alyssa. that makes the imminent loss a little easier to handle. this has been both liberating and soul crushing at the same time. i blame my mother’s native american ancestors.
i hope you enjoy your steak and tshirt, sunshine.

BEARD #1, although it is sort of creepy looking Matt so close up…I feel like I am violating the trust Rachel and I have. HA! Hugs.

Beard #2. Beard #1 looks like pubes on that guy’s face.

Definitely Matt beard .. all the way!
Rachel | 01-May-09 at 4:41 pm | Permalink
I am voting for Beard #1 because he is my husband and I think he is really sexy with a beard. I like your beard too Brad, I just don’t find your beard sexy that way.
