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!!!!
Minds well just start calling me Mr. Babyface. I hope I get a tiara and a sash.
Sweet 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!
any prize for having a beard that is a different color from the hair anywhere else on your body?
Let 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.
i don't know what to say! Um, good luck and may your beard groweth like clover in a dewey paddock.
how very mannish...best of luck to you KP!
oh 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.
Ah 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.
After 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.
