DER BEARDMEISTER: Jesus ala Testosteroni

In Minnesota, we still have a good 2-3 months left of winter. This means all you guys with Testosteroni still have a chance to start a winter-growth beard. If you're hardcore, you might decide to keep it all year round. Jesus did! Even living in a scorching hot climate, JC sported a beard.

We've discussed the historical accuracy of Jesus' hotness. We've considered the possibility that he didn't have a beard, since many of the Romans thought it was cool to shave facial hair and look like young boys. For the sake of Fun, let's assume Jesus had a GRADE A beard as depicted in Ron Marsh's "Head of Christ."

Better yet, let's have Faith and Believe that Jesus did indeed grow a beard. With a little Faith, you too can strive to be like Jesus. And if you want to look like Jesus, I have just the site for you: Beards.org.


Visit beards.org!


As an estrogen, pheromone-sniffing, Testosteroni Male, this site will teach you everything you need to know about beards that your Father never told you. And if you are a bear-hunting male hunting for other male bears, this site has lots of pretty pictures... and stuff your Father never told you too.

If you are the bearded lady, I can't help you. But maybe Beards.org can!

I'd like to thank Kevin of Indiana for having brought this delightful site to my attention. Applause and Standing O.

Let's get back to Jesus. He has the perfect facial structure for a stunning presentation of a beard. And so it goes. Not everyone is going to look hot-to-trot in a beard. But if you've got a little something special in your eyes, a cute smile, and a nose worth flaunting, a beard is going to make you look extra special. And extra Christ-like.

Maybe you're interested in starting an old testament cult. Maybe you've been smoking too much mary jane. Maybe you're just lazy. Maybe your beard grows faster than a prairie wildfire. Maybe Mother Mary came to you in a vision and told you to grow a beard. Maybe you've noticed that some ladies really like that morning-after look all day, everyday.

Whatever your reason for growing a beard, promise me that you won't make women cover their faces just because you do.

Ladies, there are some beauts on this site for your viewing pleasure. I am interested to know your opinions on beards and the origins of your likes or dislikes. I trace my positive beard perspective back to Jesus Christ, Paul Bunyan, and now that I think of it... Grizzly Adams, Cat Stevens, The Beatles, and a few left-over hippies. A few hands-on experiences with bearded men has done nothing to diminish my appreciation for a little extra facial Testosteroni.

Maybe a beard is not for you. Men must consider all their options. Just to complicate things... done right... a fancy mustache can be very nice too. For a heated debate about the 'stache, visit the Glorius Mustache Challenge. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Have you seen Ballad of the Beard? It totally rocks. : D
Also, Whiskerino is a pretty cool site to check out. It's a 4 month online beard growing contest.

No! This is the first I've heard of them and I profusely thank you for cluing me in. I'll get right on it.

I keep the beard because the ladies I admire won't let me shave it. :)

I can't stop reading your blog.

Chrisitine....Great site!...Just found it!...LUV! the sacriligious humor!...Good writing, good humor!...Keep it up!...(I think I'm a little envious)...

Writing about beards on a religiously irreverent site...Made me think of the young Yahwists out there who never shave, and grow beards straight from that virgin facial hair...Ugliest darn beards around...VERY gross...Talk about, 'not lookin' good' for Yashuah...ugh!...But, obviously it's not about 'lookin' good'...

That Jesus 'make up' is just too funny...Love your comments about that!...
Keep it up!...
