Sir Jellobeard says:: you really grew on me from the beginning, because your photos were real and raw. then you started to get iconic and godly (in the way that an alien would study the human race from afar to one day come to earth in a human costume, and blow peoples minds with his apparent genius), and you grew on me even more. how you can engage the mind of 500 beards is beyond me, but you know the whiskerino brain well, and you truly were this years master of ceremony. in the hip hop way. just slap your face on the logo, cause you own it.

congrats to you both. you remind me a lot of me and natalie. it gets better and better, trust me.

Also, I got on Chat Roulette for the first time the other day... I don't know how you're a fan of that mess! Its like 90% dudes and of those dudes 50% of them are masturbating and the other 50% are only there in hopes to see some boobs. But there are only dudes masturbating so I don't know where they got the idea there'd be boobs. Oh well. Maybe you know some secret hacks to get rid of all the lameos. If so, let me know!

Many of them provided me with inspiration to think outside the box even more with each photo I took, thank you for that. Also, thanks for being a part of the King Beard Force. Your pose for the real photo at the Throwdown was a perfect replica of the one I gimped back in January. If you decide to get married or honeymoon in Vegas, we'd love to grab some tacos with you.

Anyway... stay cool man. You are awesome and nice.
