Turns out that some people in this world can be bought. In the case of Mr. White he is considered guilty of that fact.

Mr. White’s family has had struggles with his facial hair. Being in the military for 6 years and a pilot for another 3 meant that he had to shave every day for the last 9 years of his life. As such, he felt as though shaving could be something that he could do when he felt like it. Often times the man would look like something more at home at an Ozzfest concert than at home with his 2 children. The beard contest was to be an homage to men around the world who just don’t care about what they look like (flame away metrosexuals…flame away).

Money changes all. Mr. White was given an offer he couldn’t refuse, a sum of money greater than what he would have made by staying in the contest. Mr. White’s dues for the contest come to a total of $11. There is also another unmentionable person in the contest who also dropped out of his own accord. Couldn’t hack it we guess. That brings the pot total to $22.

Who has the intestinal fortitude to hold out? Time will tell. Stay tuned…

Yes we are growing beards, yes it will be epic.

Who of these four rough looking gentlemen will be able to hold out the longest? We don’t know but we have money riding on who will. Each of us had to put up $10 to enter the contest. $20 if you didn’t shave the night before the contest began. By the end of the year we should all me looking like cave men.

But who cares, it’s all for charity of our choosing, and we’re all choosing our own bank accounts. Go Figure…
