WEEK 16, THE FINAL DAY!!!!

2008-05-19T10:26:00.001-07:00

The last day could not have been better. Nice and hot...perfect beard weather. The votes are being cast as we speak and a beard winner will be posted shortly. Try to contain yourself.

Week 15!

2008-05-13T18:24:00.001-07:00

Coming down to the final week! I don't think anyone is droppin' at this point so its going to be a no holds barred beard-off come Monday! The dragon is going home with somebody...STAY TUNED!!!!

I Choose Mark

2008-05-08T16:48:00.001-07:00

If i had a gun to my head, and was forced to choose a girlfriend from amongst us....Mark is my choice. As horrifying as that is, he in my humble opinion, is the only passable female in the lot of us. You fail humanity, you fail big time.

ZOMG

2008-05-08T16:47:00.001-07:00

An alien posing as a human, a Skynrd Roadie, and Cat Stevens. Awesome.

Week 13!

2008-05-08T16:44:00.001-07:00

The cardhouse has fallen. The fragile bottom card that was Henze has triggered a mass shaving. Or maybe it was the heat, or maybe it was the fact that i looked ridiculous for far too long. Whatever the cause, the excess fat has been trimmed and the beard contest continues!

OH THE SHAME!

2008-05-08T16:42:00.000-07:00

All of the ladies have been eliminated! A valiant effort, but the beards will prevail!

Regret!

2008-04-29T11:23:00.001-07:00

Wow, what an awesome week for the Carbine Women. I'm pretty sure Bowie would be Jealous. Amy on the other hand.......MUAHAHAHAHAHA! I told you it was a comin'!

Week 12!

2008-04-29T11:13:00.001-07:00

I feel like crap that i didn't get images of Robert or Matt for this post, but i got bogged down with work. Lame, I know. But fresh pictures coming up!

* Henze looks like those old death photos of wild west gunfighters.

Tragedy Strikes.

2008-04-21T16:08:00.001-07:00

Out of no where, Amy has made a gross error in judgement and the first Carbine woman is removed from competition. If she doesn't regret it now, she will......she will. MUAHAHAHAHA!

Week 11!

2008-04-21T16:03:00.001-07:00

Its good to know that nobody is taking themselves seriously. I still look in a mirror and go, HA! Look at that idiot! I hope the world agrees. Well played Carbine...well played.

Lunchtime Elegance

2008-04-08T17:35:00.001-07:00

The beards have found a new location to feed, Jerry's Dogs in Ladera. Lots of people, lots of children to frighten, plus hot dogs...its a slamdunk for picture day lunches.

Here's Ryan and Roger's beards having a great conversation about combs.

Mindy's embarassed by her lack of beard..aww its ok Mindy!

Johnson shows that dog who's boss!

The dogs have claimed the lipstick, but the liner remains triumphant.

Voices

2008-04-08T17:21:00.000-07:00

I don't know what the voices inside their heads are telling them to do. I bet its not good.
The thought of next week frightens me.

Week 10!

2008-04-08T17:16:00.001-07:00

Well its official, at least one week as been added to the facial hair competition. We'll have to let them ripen just a little longer. Also official, Robert has left a woman tied to railroad tracks in an unspecified location. NYAH HA HA!

Villiany!

2008-04-02T14:24:00.001-07:00

Awesome. I think Mike put it best, "It looks like Lisa just killed Snow White."
Enough said.

Week 9!

2008-04-02T14:16:00.001-07:00

I take back what I said last week, and now thoroughly apply it to this week. VAGRANTS.
We have reached the point where people clearly know something's up when we're seen in a group together. They aren't sure what it is, but it's clear that it's awesome.

Week 8!

2008-03-27T09:12:00.001-07:00

The people that share our office building are getting really scared i think. Every elevator ride is now somehow way more tense than usual. Seriously though just look at us, these pictures look like homeless crazies were pulled from a holding pen one by one, to be documented by science. It makes giddy...thats right GIDDY.

Glamour Shawts!

2008-03-27T08:57:00.001-07:00

I think we're finally getting to the point where the general public is beginning to notice something's amiss. I'm still waiting for when the general public starts to run away. Nice work ladies.....hawt.

Week 7!

2008-03-20T10:06:00.000-07:00

To be perfectly honest, I never really imagined we'd have people with full on beards at this point.
I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm also tired of shampooing my face.

CARBINE... Keeping it Classy

2008-03-18T18:04:00.000-07:00

I think I'll make it a regular thing now to take pics on our Tuesday outings. For you outsiders reading this, every Tuesday when we take pictures we force the ladies to come out into public for a lunch time viewing...preferably at the busiest most public lunch time destinations possible. Surprisingly they don't get alot of second glances. Hopefully that all changes very, very soon.

Even a few shaved people joined us. Here's Johnson, jealous of our collective awesomeness.

What's On the Block?

2008-03-18T17:54:00.000-07:00

If you guessed "the new kids," you and Lisa should like throw a sleep over and talk about the most radical boys in school. Holy Debbie Gibson Batman!

BBQ!

2008-03-18T17:39:00.001-07:00

If you've never eaten at Burrell's in Santa Ana, then you are seriously missing out. Plus Carbine was there which made it like 10x more awesome. We even took non contestant Sol out with us.

No luck on BBQ covered face and beard pics. Everyone was surprisingly lame about keeping very clean.

Red Light District!

2008-03-12T10:22:00.000-07:00

ZOMG, we have another woman as a Carbine employee..and she jumps right into the makeup battle royale. Today's humiliating lunch for the ladies is barbecue. Nothing less hot than thick lipstick + barbecue sauce. I'm thinking I'll take pictures during lunch.

Week 6!

2008-03-11T19:14:00.000-07:00

As another week passes, I've started to notice that Carbine Studios is a huge fan of wearing the same shirt on the same day of the week. An outsider might think we only own 7 shirts apiece. I'm also pretty sure that Robert could be a stunt double for a grizzly.

Week 5!

2008-03-05T10:45:00.001-08:00

The real men continue on. Jose's bad-ass evil twin will now be taking over Jose's square, and if you don't like it he says you can go f*ck yourself.

PINK FLAMINGOS

2008-03-04T15:10:00.000-08:00

Starting to get pretty good. We're not quite to Divine just yet, but seeing this week gives me hope.

BEHOLD!

2008-03-04T14:07:00.001-08:00

I have no words for how awesome this trophy is. Its perhaps the most awesome item i have ever purchased or will ever purchase again. With that being said, the grand champion of our beard contest will take this bad boy home . Better throw that "Most Improved Player" certificate in the ash can and make room on the mantle....it may just be yours.

Bumpin' at the Club!

2008-02-26T18:25:00.000-08:00

Sophia Loren eat your heart out! The makeup battle begins!

Week 4!

2008-02-26T11:31:00.001-08:00

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong. WEAK!
Our first victim, and it better be the last.

Week 3!

2008-02-20T10:58:00.001-08:00

Week 3 is off to an awesome start...beards in bloom. We've got a couple of new additions to the contest i'll be adding in another post. Until then, enjoy this action.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

2008-02-14T13:41:00.000-08:00

It has been pointed out to some of us that our contest is not really fair to the women of Carbine Studios. To correct this gross oversight, some new contestants have been added. The ladies will try to outmatch our facial hair growth with creative makeup application. Over the next 12+ weeks, our fearless ladies will increasingly exaggerate their makeup. By the end we hope for some frightening results...welcome ladies.

Week 2

2008-02-13T10:00:00.001-08:00

Into the second week, and nobody has folded. I think its safe to say this will be awesome. Guaranteed.

The Contestants

2008-02-12T22:26:00.000-08:00

A promising first week....

Welcome to Scruffy Lookin' Nerf Herders.

2008-02-12T22:17:00.001-08:00

This blog was created to chronicle what is perhaps the greatest facial hair growth competition in the history of Carbine Studios. The competition will last for 12 weeks with only one winner chosen at the end. The rules are simple: no clean shaving allowed at any point, and some portion of your facial hair be allowed to grow unchecked for the contest's duration. Creativity is encouraged.
