No Beard, No Good

"put down those trimmers – the Beard Revolution has arrived..."
(Parental Advisory Notice: Moderately harsh language in a verse from the revolution theme!)

From the official Bio:
"The Beards are a bearded four-piece band currently situated in Adelaide who only play songs about beards and having beards. Onstage, The Beards preach about the virtues of having a beard with near-militant intensity....The beardless members of the crowd may find themselves singled out and chastised for their lack of facial hair, while those with beards may be brought onstage as an example of what having a beard is all about..."

Better a Jew without a Beard...

"I'm not the perfect Jew...The beard is my way of celebrating and practicing... The beard is making up for some of the stuff I don't do..."

Good News!
Coney Island, NY - A Brooklyn rabbi has won the mustache, beard and sideburns competition by a whisker.

Organizers say Rabbi Abraham Abraham edged out around 20 other competitors to win the facial hair standoff in Coney Island. He took the trophy for the best groomed beard and mustache.
Abraham says he’s been growing his Santa Claus-style beard (Ed. Note: ??!!) and starched mustache for about 50 years. He says after a shower he uses hair gel to sculpt them.

Other competitors included a man who shaved his head leaving just a strip of hair across the top to connect his sideburns and another man whose sideburns were growing down to his chest.

"...the male beard communicates an heroic image of the independent, sturdy, and resourceful pioneer, ready, willing and able to do manly things..."

More than once, I have looked in the mirror and asked myself,

"what's with the beard??"
