Day 059... and there was no more.

I have failed this Whiskerino, this Whiskerino did not fail me. No, not in the slightest. It has been nothing short of a complete experience of awesomeness. Although I will hang my beard up here in the Hall of Shame, I will look back fondly on this event. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, I am unable to proceed onwards to pogonotrophic completion.

I wish all of you a Happy New Year and a plethora of beard accumulation through to the end of this.

Lastly, to my final executioner @Mackle, I would like to say that your graciousness and effort have been nothing short of spectacular. Thank you with all my heart.

So without further ado, let's get on with this...
Godspeed.

KimJongIllness says:: NOOOOOOOooooo! Sad to see you go!

*sigh* I hate to do this...

SHAME! (but you do get 10 points for using pogonotrophic in a sentence...)

Andrew says:: NOES!!!

Dang. I really have dug your photos. Better keep updating that smugmug page.

That said, I will not shame you. I'll leave it to @mackle.

Brian says:: Bummer! You are a truly nice guy and will be missed. I enjoyed all of your images.

Also, a little known fact: I found out about Whiskerino from you in 2007 when you were posting pictures on a beard forum. So, in a way, I am a member of "Team Chally" (a cousin of team Renaud).

I hate to see you go. And I refuse to use the "S" word even though I usually revel in it as a member of Team Poison. I wish you the best...

SoulGlo1976 says:: No shame from me @chally. You are so zen yet so baddass. You were very friendly and encouraging to me and my decent enough Celt Beard with all your comments. You had some brilliant submissions too. You will be missed by many people on here. If I'm ever in your neck of the woods (or you're in mine), I'd love to drink some stout brews with you.

Please feel free to friend me on Facebook. CLAME

Peace and Love man,

Steve

Fofe says:: What a surprise!
You had been so strong. You had some great photos the past couple of months and that beard was shaping up really well. I'm really sad to see you go and will miss your photos and funny, thoughtful comments. But sometimes other priorities and obligations keep us from doing all the things we might want to do.

If you are ever around the wine country feel free to drop a line. It would be fun to have a beer (or wine) with you. Contact info is in the sidebar.

Take care.

Why LA is the City of Angels is unclear but if time has any bearing on Whiskerino, it produces some of the best images of the contest.
