Contest is Over

So the contest is officially over. Both Aaron and Steve decided that it was not worth the extra $110 to wait for the other person to shave. So they decided to chop the pot. So PAY UP! I have given my money to Steve already.

Amazing Week 7

Well it was a pretty amazing start to week 8. At the end of week 7 we had 6 people left. Then the discussion of Halloween came up and Bret stirred up a ton of controversy by saying that he wanted to "shape" his moustache as part of his costume. His plan... he wanted to create, what he perceived, to be an even creepier moustache. Something along the lines of this:
While he felt this would be a sacrifice, many of the other people felt this was a direct violation of the amended "no trim rule". Regardless Bret pushed on ignoring the fact that everyone else said this would disqualify. After all the fuss, this morning Bret announced his departure from the moustache contest. Then shortly there after Brad also announced his departure. Later that day, I learn that Bryan has also departed from the contest. He claims he was just irritated by "bending" of the rules, I think he just caved under the pressure. So in one weekend the field has been cut in half. Will be interesting to see how long the three of them last.

Freedom!

Oh breeze on my upper lip, how I've missed you. Check out the before and after shots:






$20 to be promptly paid to the treasurer. For you suckers still in the contest I'll refer to Nelson from the Simpsons: HA-HA!.

Farewell....

Well, it looks like there was no need for all of the drama on Friday after all….you guys were right…shaping even just the smallest amount wasn’t going to cut it. That, coupled with the pure ecstasy of trimming away months of pain and suffering proved to be too much. One swipe and it was all over. Next to having my summit team fall while being stranded on Everest and having to choose which of my younger siblings lived and died…this was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. To all the brave souls still marching onward, stay strong and keep fighting the good fight. I’ll remember you all.

P.S.
The day after shaving thousands of the world’s most beautiful women flocked from all around, my parents accepted me back in the family and I was finally allowed back within 100 yds of public parks and playgrounds
