Blog | Beard Growing ...
My office recently had a beard-growing contest, the Fortnight-Long Beard Challenge. “Why a beard-growing contest?” you may ask. Well, it’s just one part of the larger Mountain Man Challenge.
“Mountain Man Challenge?”
Yep. Mountain Man Challenge.
My office currently has just seven guys with no gals to keep us in line. That occasionally leads to some silliness. As I recall, our manager was bragging (jokingly) about his toughness, and our fresh-out-of-college guy disagreed and basically called him a sissy boy. And so the Mountain Man Challenge was born, to prove our manliness.
It is at this point when people inevitably ask, “Do you guys get any work done?” Yes, we are actually quite serious about our work, but we like to have fun, too.
Anyway, I didn’t win the beard contest. Booooooo. The guy who won does have a thicker beard than I do, but I think I should have gotten bonus points for going to Jenn’s formal office Christmas party without shaving. That’s commitment.
Here is a picture at the end of the contest.
I’m trying to give a tough-guy look for extra manliness. You be the judge. 
Next up in the Mountain Man Challenge: log rolling, or maybe axe throwing.
