Celebrate Octobeard

[Chexjc]

Celebrate OctoBEARD

The rules are simple. Start the month with a clean shaven face, do not shave for the entire month of October.

Spread the word! :):)

This is a video I made of my friend for fun. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=p7lkiwCivE8)

[UniBrier]

October is too early for the annual fall growth. I used to start at Labor Day but it's no fun when the weather is not cold yet. Can we do Novembeard?

[Hazmat]

:D :D Or just celebrate X-mas with a long beard. :D :D

Very odd, but very unique. :D

[Chexjc]

[mr_charm]

[Chexjc]

Haha yea....you look just like him...

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

To get back to Octobeard- I'm growing my beard (for the month).

[mr_charm]

you can grow one properly at 15? i only know 2 ppl that were able to do that! me and a greek mate of mine:p

[phlegm]

The rules are simple. Start the month with a clean shaven face, do not shave for the entire month of October.

Simple you say? My rules are simpler. Don't shave. :p

[uni57]

Start the month with a clean shaven faceOkay, got that part. And more (no, I don't mean there).

do not shave for the entire month of October.I'd rather kill myself. (well, not really, but almost)

[Brian MacKenzie]

Or you could celebrate wintbeard

[Borgschulze]

Brian, you're such a troll. Good work.

I can't grow a decent beard in a month...

I haven't shaved in about 5 weeks... and my beard is barely noticeable, and my hair is like 10mm long.

[Chexjc]

I don't think the clean shaven face is a necessity, just that you don't shave for the month.

At then end of the month I'll only look very scruffy.

[Brian O.]

*Picture*

What a beast! If it weren't for the fact that my girlfriend would never speak to me again if I grew a beard I'd certainly join you in the beards for christ movement. ;)

you just have to know have to sweet talk her. let me help.

'You know, honey, if I grew a beard as pictured here, I could put 27 hickory sticks in it before any fell out!'

[markf]

if i could grow a beard that's worth a damn, i'd be in. i prefer the made up facial hair holiday of "cinco de mustache" where you don't shave for most of april and go out with all your mustachiod friends on may 5th.

[carsonpalooza]

I like No-shave-ember better than Octobeard

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

Yeah, I started shaving at 14.

[JJtheunicycle]

Yeah, I started shaving at 14.
And you are 8 feet tall. Quit braggin' old man.

[Matt_V]

I would defently join in if I could grow a decent beard. One time I didn't shave for a week and a half and it just looked really dirty because some parts are dark and other parts are white.

[saskatchewanian]

just stop cutting your hair then eventualy stop shaving then stop brushing and after a while you could start looking like me!

I call it a very low maintenence look:cool:

[cool-bananas]

It must be a melbourne thing. :confused:

But for some reason, my friends do it too???


Yeah cause its not a Melbourne thing. We do it here too, Im on the Central Coast like 1hr from Sydney.

You don't have a girlfriend, do you?

[Jerrick]

Its only been 7 days now, and im about ready to shave, but I will keep it going.

How are you guys progressing?

Is that anything like octothorpe?

I've got a rough, scruffy look going on. Not too bad though, I don't think my girlfriend will begin complaining for another week or so. The early stages of the stache are setting in however. I wonder if you're allowed to shave the stache...

...Is octothorpe the number sign? (#)

[Hazmat]

Definition of octothorpe:

oc·to·thorpe - [Alteration (influenced by octo-) of earlier octalthorpe, the pound key, probably humorous blend of octal, an eight-point pin used in electronic connections (from the eight points of the symbol) and the name of James Edward Oglethorpe.]

My girlfriend wants me to shave when she comes over this Tuesday. Dialog went like this:

Sera: I want to come over Tuesday.
Me: Ok, that sounds good.
Sera: WIll you shave?
Me: Will it be worth it?
Sera: Yes.

Octobeard is very likely to get cut short this year. lol

[Chexjc]

Aw, pushover :)

[threeinchtire]

Yeah, i'm in for Octobeard this year too. I think i'm just going to hold out on shaving until the Sox win the World Series. I might have to participate in No Shave Nov. we'll see. Maybe after two months i'll actually have a decent beard. Probably not, though...

[Chexjc]

Okay so here's the follow up Octobeard video of my friend. I was highly disappointed with my beard, so left the footage to the shaving of his. I believe this is one of my better works, enjoy!

[yoopers]

Beards are gross!

[UniBrier]

144 beards would be really gross.

I'm starting my NovemBeard, see how much more grey show up this year and how much I can stand before I shave it off. Tradition says I should ski at least once with it before it goes. Here's hoping for an early winter.

[yoopers]

Steve,

Don't consider it grey, call it chrome. Being compared to a muscle car sounds way more cool than being compared to a broken-down primered Rambler.

[UniBrier]

Will do, but this Muscle Car is also getting some loose linkage in the tie rods.

Want some Brylcree...er, grease?

When you're unemployed every month is Novembeard...

[Triball]

There goes my novembeard experiment. I was shaving my side burns and said: "meh" and shaved everything else too. I'll try next year when it will grow more majestic. So, no novembeards from Slovenia this year:o

Any thoughts on the video?

I also need a good two months to grow a real beard. :(

More like every morning...:)

[munimanpete]

[monkeyman]

Am I the only one who was pronouncing it with the stress on the "Oct" (like you would say OCTopus) until you watched the video?

I say Octobead with the same emphasis on the 'oct' as i would in saying Octopus actually haha.

[tobbogonist]

Movember last year (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54829&highlight=movember)

It is to raise money for mens health. I am sporting a mighty fine one at the moment.

[Hazmat]

I almost look like a genuine wog. :D

[dudewithasock]

It's that time of the year again! I shaved at 11:55 last night, so I'm ready to see how my beard-growing skills shall fare.

[mr_charm]

Thanks for reminding me! I gotta prepare for Movember! Gotta train before! Lol!

[Triball]

I shaved at 8PM on the last of September. Can't wait for mutton chops to set in.:D

[mscalisi]

Ooops, I shaved this morning. Am I still allowed to participate?

[maestro8]

I go insane after about 5 days of growing... the itch is unbearable!

I'll grow a Chia Beard instead.

[videotoast]

I have a good start on it already......I haven't trimmed my goat for about 3 weeks!!!

[uni57]

i would rather kill myself. (well, not really, but almost)+1

[JJtheunicycle]

They announced it this morning on the announcements at school. Then all the people who participate get to be in the yearbook. Woo?

[unibikeling]

i have the odd want to do this... I could grow some gnarly stuff...

[UniBrier]

October is just too soon for the Fall beard growth. I used to start my beard at Labor Day but got tired of it way before the snows flew; should be Novembeard, just in time for the snow ski season.

As for Movember, I went 30 years with every month being Movember until last February. Now the wife and kids don't want it back.

[captainkrunk61]

No-shave November is what has always been celebrated around here.

[Fooby]

I wish I could grow one, I have a little bit of stubble, but that's all.
*Jealousy*

[Tyler_N]

i wish i could grow one. i'll give it a try anyway

[dan de man]

same

*grabs moustach stubble and twists it*neeaaarrgh neeeaargh(evil laugh)

[Matt_V]

Im doin' it. I can't really grow much of a beard but I haven't tried in a while so this could be interesting. I'll post a pic at the end of the month.

[Triball]

With October running out, I'm off to the bathroom for a shave. I hope you all had a good octobeard.

Good luck

[BluntRM]

Movember...

[dudewithasock]

We also do No-Shave November at my university.

My Octobeard results were pitiful so I think I'll pass this next month.

[Brian O.]

My Octobeard went well, though I started it in mid September and removed it half way through October.
