| Tell Us Why You Have The MEANEST Beard? (Share An Interesting Story Behind Your Beard. We Want To Know Who The Man Behind The Beard Is.) | I haven't seen my face since getting out of the Army in 2002. Hell my oldest son has never seen it. My beard is me. At one point I did it because I wanted to look hard. Now I've had it for so long I don't know what's under there nor do I care to see it. It's grown quite large and changed from a small goatee to a full beard over 14" long and now to one hell of a partial/goatee. |

My beard has scared and traumatized many people in my role as Chuckles the Clown and I have yet to even reach my final form. Some might even say I resemble a fisherman NPC from a Pokémon game when I'm out on the water. And was one of the few people allowed to have a beard at my job due to the fact its part of my religion and everyday life style. |

I stuck out like a sore thumb as an American who was bearded, 6" taller, and 3x as heavy as the average Nepali man! All eyes were on me everywhere I went, but the people were warm and loving once you get to know them. I was there to teach/preach so having all attention was a good thing! I will return in 2021 with 2 more yrs growth! |
