Beardelodeon 2008 starts today at noon. Here's part of the flyer I did for this year's competition.
What is Beardelodeon? I'm glad you asked. It's Nickelodeon's annual-ish beard growing contest. I'm proud to say that I, your humble servant, am the founder of Beardelodeon. I came up with the idea back in 1998, mostly as a joke, but here we are 10 years later, and, by Jove, it's still going strong.
It's simple...you can even play along at home (that is, if you are capable of growing a beard): First, you shave your face. Then you don't shave your face for two weeks. Simple.
Traditionally, winning contestants would be crowned either Mr. Density; Mr. Length; or Mr. Babyface. I understand that a fourth category may be added this year: Mr. Patchy.
I'll try to give you a before/after image of my ugly mug in a couple weeks...
....................................UPDATE.......................................
There are 36 participants this year. That's a record, friends. And, there's talk of an underground "Beard Club" forming--members of which intend on extending the bearding period. More on this development later...
Great flier!!!!
ReplyDeleteMinds well just start calling me Mr. Babyface. I hope I get a tiara and a sash.
ReplyDeleteSweet middle aged sketch a couple down too. Funny stuff. I think my pal David was right, that's t-shirt material.
i'm a sucker for beards, sad i'm missing out but i'll grow a beard myself in your honor!
ReplyDeleteany prize for having a beard that is a different color from the hair anywhere else on your body?
ReplyDeleteLet us honor Beardelodeon's Founding Father Kenny for reminding us, that when it comes to growing a beard, the truth is self-evident, that all men are not created equal, that we are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Hirsute of Happiness.
ReplyDeletei don't know what to say! Um, good luck and may your beard groweth like clover in a dewey paddock.
ReplyDeletehow very mannish...best of luck to you KP!
ReplyDeleteoh mannn I MISS ALL OF YOU SO MUCH. can you announce on the p.a. that i say hi? (if it won't get you fired, of course.) or just tell paul his buddy says hi.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I remember the Beardelodeon with great fondness, I myself was awarded the title of Mr Density twice. Of course Kenny was not allowed to compete on the years that he was hosting the event so the title was a bit shallow, as his growth is formidible.
ReplyDeleteAfter Kenny introduced the event it was so popular that I was asked to continue it during the time that Kenny was not at the studio, I'm glad to see that it lives on.
