Last week I lost my beard in a tragic shaving on-purpose, and some of our readers were quite upset. So I had them put the beard back, which they did—just not the way they found it.
Damien Fate’s mash-up of my face with the famous Yukon Cornelious has been haunting me all week. I see it when I close my eyes. I see it in dreams. I see it at the top of the post. That last one is okay, since I put it there.
Here it is without the text:
Now some might say that animated GIFs have an unfair advantage over normal images, which is probably true, as they are so hot right now. That’s why I am also declaring an un-animated winner, just to be fair. Also because my wife loves this picture more than anything.
Thank you, Arch Duke Maxyenko, for giving my wife a picture that will surely fade into memory in a couple of days and surely not plague me for the rest of my life, you bastard.
This was an excellent ‘Shop Contest, giving me plenty of ideas for how to welcome back my beard into the world, including setting it on fire and never growing it again.
Tons of entries this week, so I’m just gonna grab the top 20 or so. Check out the original post for all of our readers’ amazing work.
