Can I get a judge's ruling?

Cole and I are at loggerheads over his decision to rid himself of approximately 30 percent of his facial hair. The problem comes from a fundamental difference in our approach to this beard off. As I've discussed before, he's a style guy. I'm about volume. We need the judges to sort this one out. Are there any consequences for shaving that much facial hair? Disqualification? Sanctions? I think disqualification is a little harsh, so I propose making my opposition tattoo an image Billy Mays
on his chest in honor of his budding man-crush.

Interestingly, Cole pointed out a message I once wrote on a cocktail napkin at the Bulldog in Northeast Minneapolis. "Whatever it takes," I wrote to inspire him. If I would've known he was going to use that quote to justify shaving a portion of his beard during a beard off ... well, let's just put it this way, that napkin wouldn't exist.

Sooo... you're making up the rules as you go, and you have no agreement as to what will constitute a success, or the timeframe in which this will be achieved. Congratulations, men. The Beard Off has become a miniature model of U.S. foreign policy.

Let It Ride!

I say listen to some Cake and see who is willing to go the distance. I am still in favour of judging based on absorption or ability to hold Velcro balls.

Shits weak, but i think a new set of pictures would help in the ruling. I guess if one new what the basis of judgement was actually on, it would make things much much easier.

Sorry Kate, I think putting a timeline on this competition or defining an exit strategy would endanger my folicles and emperil future beard growth.

I'm in this thing even if it takes 1,000, nay 1 million, years to see it through.
