Ten Things About Me

This is my first post as part of the course. As a way of getting to know me I am posting ten photos related to a hobby I started several years ago. My hobby simply is growing facial hair.

Specifically having patterns of each type of facial hair that one would want to grow (and that I am physically capable of growing).

1. The Full Beard

This is by far the easiest to grow and is a great starting point for anyone wanting to get started.

2. The Muttonchop

This was a fun one to wear around because at the time the character Wolverine from Marvel Comics had a feature film.

3. The Dutch Beard

This was not as fun as everyone thought that I was Amish.

4. The Van Dyke

This is often called a goatee but that is not accurate since the mustache is connected.

5. The Handlebar Mustache and Goatee

Notice that they are not connected. Also notice that this is the coolest mustache in the world.

6. The Horseshoe

This has been called a Fu Manchu but my understanding is that a Fu Manchu does not have hair under the nose. Speaking of no hair under the nose...

7. The Klingon

This is a Fu Manchu with a beard made famous by Worf, Son of Mogh on Star Trek: The Next Generation. 

8. The Chinstrap

This was far too much work to maintain but it was fun to try it for a bit. People treat you differently based on your facial hair to be sure.

9. The Friendly Muttonchops (Chin Curtains)

This is one that really just made me feel like a banker in the 1800's. That or perhaps a political candidate at the turn of the century.

10. The Joe Dirt?

Not sure the name of this but Joe Dirt had it in the movie of the same name.

So what is next?
