kevin, if I did, in fact, helped to inspire a handlebar moustache, please, by all means, send me a photograph.

If you ever want to be an indie rocker, you can use that shot of you standing in front of your bathroom mirror as your EP cover.

Thank you Alaina. I’m already planning “Beard 2.0″ for sometime this winter.

Well Jamie, I’ll give you an E for effort. I mean, you evidently CAN grow a beard, its just not a very good one. And you know what, thats not a problem at all. Perhaps facial hair just isn’t your cup of tea. Like the union of alcohol and fireworks, you and facial hair just aren’t meant to be.

But hey, don’t sweat it. You don’t need a beard to be a cool guy, as you’ve already proven. I mean, its not like you’re a lumberjack who owns a blue ox. Unless you are, in fact, a lumberjack with a blue ox. In which case, grow that sucker back post haste and grab yourself some flapjacks.

I think you and my cousin have the same problem with this beard thing.. he gets strange patchy holes and weird colouring all over his face when his facial hair comes in. It’s kind of sad really… my brother has more facial hair… and he is 11… but PROPS to you for trying to grow a bush on your face.

I agree with you, everyone wants what they can’t have. I know I’ve experienced this on many occasions.

Aww Joise in mom’s heels. I think every child has done that maybe 4300 times, even boys.

Meagan doesn’t want you to grow a beard? I have to say I’d agree with her. Just be thankful that you don’t have to shave every other day, what a pain that would be.

A snap-on beard…well I’ll be.

Josie’s reaction to the beard was so funny! She had a terrified look and then ended up laughing. It’s like she was scared at first and then she realized she could just laugh at you…j.k

Jamie, I can totally identify with your frustration over your lack of facial hair. I am almost 20 years old and I am a mere 4 feet and 10 inches tall. When I go to restaurants, hostesses sometiems ask my parents if I need a children’s menu (although I love my black eye liner, so I really don’t understand that… do they think I’m a really trashy 10 year old or something???) Anyway, the point is that I accepted that I am never going to be any taller than I am right now, and I am perfectly ok with that. I have completely embraced being short, and quite frankly, I wouldn’t want to be any taller. It’s all about self love, Jamie. Besides that, the ladies obviously don’t dig facial hair. Especially when food gets stuck in it. I mean… that’s just gross.

CRAP. I messed up with my stupid link, dang it. It was supposed to be “a bit like Ryan Gosling” — oh well, whatever. The link still goes to the pic.

Wow, you were getting crap FROM ALL ANGLES about that beard, weren’t you? Even little Josie didn’t have anything nice to say about it!

I’ve gotta tell you though, I have seen beard-growing attempts MUCH worse than yours. One of my friends decided to grow facial hair for 6 months…and, well, he looked like friggin’ Paul Bunyan gone bad. The thing about it is, he would’ve kept growing it but his wife made him shave it off before the left for their honeymoon. I wish I had taken a picture, its hilarious. It was digusting, though. You know how yours got really thick and dark underneath your chin? Well, his was ten times worse than that. It was nasty…it was like a big birds nest or something. So take it from me, Megs, Jamie’s wasn’t all THAT bad. Although, your reaction and harassment of your husband during his beard growing process was really funny!

Call me crazy but I think you look like a bit…oh, wait, what’s that I hear in the background? Megs laughter?
