Well, folks, this is it. The end of something beautiful. If ever a group to be a part of (besides owning a motorcycle), this is, without a doubt, the one for me. Been an avid facial hair grower for 15+ years. Grew my first massive beard back in '01. Growed and showed with you fellas for two years now.

Lots of thanks to go around:

@mackle, for creating this fascinating & beautiful place for beard-growers to flourish;

@creole (technically @creole's wife and my great friend, Jaime), for introducing me to Whiskerino;

@Heyzeus, for riding along this crazy roller coaster of beardedness;

and of course, my mom & dad, for mixing those genes just right to create me and this awesome ability to grow a beard.

Been one helluva ride.

@monkeyboy, signing off.

Cheers.
