Month of May Beard goes 2.0

As some of you may remember, last year in an effort to boost the performance of our team, I oddly made the choice to grow a beard during the month of May. Despite the fact that this is something normally reserved for playoffs - especially hockey - it proved to work wonders.

So I've decided to make it two years in a row with the Month of May Beard. Although I cannot take full credit for the team's success during this traditionally glorious month for Padre baseball, it certainly didn't hurt, right?

Anyways, I won't have time to post photos of my progress due to a clusterf*ck of busy-ness I've got going on this month (new job, new apartment, a bachelor party, a trip to SF). And besides, you guys already know what I look like with the chops. Just take a look at my avatar.

Also, this isn't meant to be a one-man show. The more beardo's we have, the better. So toss those razors, fill the fridge with Dos Equis, and watch the wins pile up.

GO PADRES!

Are we starting today?

What are the rules on trimming? And haircuts? I didn’t plan ahead!

Trimming is ok,

for people who must look presentable at work. Haircuts are ok. Basically, this is a commitment to the baseball gods in order to receive favorable treatment during the month of may. No strict guidelines, the symbolism is what matters most.

Not after what happened last time.

Thank you, Matto619

perhaps this season can still be saved.

I have to trim

my majestic since-September goatee for a new job but I already have two weeks of cheeks and ‘stache as the predictable result of being a homeless romantic—- but since they allow “neatly-trimmed” beards, I’m already on board.

But I look like a girl

if I’m clean-shaven. An really hot girl… but a girl no less.

Nah-

I woke up at 2:30 to a w@ke and b@ke and started tattooing immediately thereafter…

I did get around to shaving and trimming my sh!t- now my friends have been making jokes about me looking like Art Alexakis…
