Yes, yes. I saw this event in 2003 on the web as it was occuring . (Here are the full results.) I thought to myself – Beef, you should got to this sometime. You’ve got a healthy beard, why not go somewhere it is appreciated. This time I’ve still got 6 months to fully whip the beard into shape. I know what a lot of you are thinking – Beef, how hard can it be to grow a beard like yours? It’s not all milk and cookies. I sit around a lot and really reflect on what the possibilities my beard has. Sometimes, when I’m by myself, I’ll – no wait, I’m talking about my beard aren’t I? But still, it takes a lot of concentration to realize the full potential my beard has to offer. Each section requires a certain amount of attention to realize its full potential. I’ve come to the conclusion that certain types of music makes it grow better. Early 70s miles stretches it out, sort of lets it relax and let gravity work its full magic of extruding it from my skin.
But I digress, there are quite a few categories. I’ve also included this link to the beard club that is hosting it in berlin . The championships are conveniently located around Oktoberfest . What could be finer than beer drinking and beard contests.
What I really need to find is a benefactor who is willing to support in my goal of attaining world class standing in the elite world of growing facial hair. If anyone has any ideas about who I may call for a sponser, I will gladly take them. What’s the harm in writing a few letters. All i need is a plane ticket and maybe some beard money.
Here are a few pictures to inspire you during your morning shave. Is it all worth, why do i cut it all away everyday when i can look so strong, handsome, and striking as this fine figure. Alas, we can not all be beef but we can all dream.
feel free to make any comments you would like about the dum-dum shirt. blake saved wrappers for at least three days to get me that shirt.
what do you mean; dum dum? I cant sea nottin, with thee beard in the way.
the dum-dum refers to the t-shirt which is a brand of suckers in the us. if you save up enough wrappers and send them some money they will send you a variety of useless stuff
What do you think your chances of winning a prize are?
I will offer up a $200 sponsorship, provided you meet the following requirements:
a) Your current beard measurements must be provided in this forum before the week’s end, so that we may gauge your progress over the next six months.
b) You must receive a matching $200 pledge from a co-sponsoring party before the end of May.
c) You must prominently display “Sack-is-the-greatest-ever” propaganda on your person (including photo) while participating in the competition.
Also, Octoberfest is in Munich, not Berlin, but I guess you could make the trip as long as you were in country. Good times.
You better get growing!
I realize it is quite a trip between the two but if i’m going to do one then i’m definitely going to do the other regardless of distance.
I’kk begin to formulate a plan of attack. I knew somebody would encourage me. I’ve got a few friends that maybe able to help out once I get over there.
The end of may…..hmmmm.
It is not all about length, style and overall appearance is also a factor. I need to start brainstorming some costume ideas
I agree with Mr. Beef. Once you’re in Europe, everything’s close.
Frankly, though, I think we need more modeling shots of the beard in real-world situations. At the coffee house… shopping at the grocery store… a profile shot… those sorts of things. Much like they do with car brochures: The car is parked on the beach, parked in the city, parked on a precipice, parked in a driveway – but ALWAYS parked. A proper modeling portfolio displaying a wide range of emotions could help garner any additional support beyond that of Sack’s.
If you are in Europe, everything is close. Except things that are not in Europe, or at the other end of Europe. And you know that there are certain parts of Europe where beards are illegal.
With a couple of braids it would do nicely for a vikingsatanistheathenlookalikecontest. We have them all the time.
I’ve contemplated the Viking/heathen look but also was trying to do an American theme since most the competitors will be European and that territory will be pretty well covered. My initial thoughts are to do a politician/general form the civil war era. They loved their facial hair back then.

I think the all of us would like to have a glimpse of you with braided beard, as well as with a top hat. Get the camera out, and give us some alternative looks. How about colouring? Bluebeard is always a favourite.
don’t worry. In the next couple of days I’m going to put together a few shots of the beard “in action” and try to put together a fundraising drive page to see what i can come up with as far as support for the defense of the american beard grower on the worldwide stage.
Let’s be honest… the Beard doesn’t get that much action. Sitting at the computer, watching sports on TV and the weekly trip to the bowling alley, where it comes back smelling like a dirty ash tray. I’d like to see the Beard vacuuming, cleaning up dog poop, washing my car.
I think we should start a pool to cut the damn thing off. I’ll put in $200. Start your bidding. FREE the chin!!
