No-Shave-November...

The company where Cary works is holding a little manly competition. "No-Shave-November" began Monday for Cary since he last shaved Sunday morning before church. Below are the rules and regs as stated by the company. (0: Above are Cary's "before" pics. I'll try and remember to post "after" pics at the end of the month.

The winner will be determined at the end of the month by a popular vote among the men of the company. The beards will be rated on two levels; length/amount of hair grown and the overall ruggedness of the beard. Please see below for the official rules. To participate you must have your picture taken at the beginning of the month and existing facial hair measured; then we will retake pictures and remeasure beard length at the end of the month. Again the contest winner will be determined by popular vote on ruggedness of look and length of the beard. Prizes have not yet been determined but will be coming for the winner and possibly the runner up.

Official Rules for No-Shave-November

This is for all the men out there. We have to shave everyday (or almost everyday if your not all the way manly), and we have to look nice for the ladies. No-Shave-November is the one month that we get to protest. We will unite as one people, and boycott shaving for an entire month.

The Rules (constitution):

1. Start time is October 31st at midnight.

2. To begin, every member must clean shave to show how much their beard has grown throughout the month.

3. Underneath the Jaw line and above the cheek bone is fair game to trim. The main beard area must stay untrimmed for the entire month.

4. No regulating length, if its patchy, so be it.

5. Finally, November 30th at midnight is the end. Shaving can occur no earlier than this time.

Amendments:

1. Technically, facial hair can be left to start. However, if left at the beginning, it must remain throughout the month. Thus, it will be longer than all the rest.

2. Females can attend the event. It will be weird, but we are not going to discriminate against the female gender. So let it grow let ladies, just don’t let it show......hairy legs are not pleasant.

3. Late Bloomers. For those that have an event early in the month that you must shave for, or just didn’t find out about No-Shave-November until recently: It is acceptable to start No-Shave-November late. The cut off to shave will be November 4th. This is only because the shortest month in the year is 28 days, so if you wait till then, you will barely be not shaving for a month. If you start after that point, it will be considered under a month, making you a little girl. However, there are no promises to the late bloomers to not be ragged on. If you are not a late bloomer, it is acceptable to rag on the late bloomers.

4. Due to popular complaint, this amendment is repealing the 2nd amendment. Women are hereby banished from No-Shave-November. This event is to amplify the manliness in men, women cannot be manly.
