@Poe with a little @Mackle climbing his back.

For the record, @Poe and @CDub were the first out-of-town participants in the original Beard Contest to shed some light on the possibility that an online beard growing contest could be more than just straight forward shots of yourself. Truth be told, Poe weirded me out pretty good at the very first Throwdown but it's that weirdness that makes Whiskerino actually work.

So, consider this a tribute to him (and @CDub) for the landscape they helped cultivate in such a big way.. a legacy that @jnonfiction has built on in an equally amazing way.

HiImTerry says:: @SoulGlo1976 stole my comment. Mackle, it's a wonder you find time to do such a thing as cut out a picture.

wondermade says:: Great cutout, great caption.

I considered a @poe too - he's had so many great shots this year.

jnonfiction says:: He looks hella heavy. You might need a spotter.

brandon says:: With that expression, I hope you're just climbing his back.

@poe is responsible for introducing me to all this and for that I will be forever thankful. @cdub is just one of the friends I've met here that constantly amazes me with his creativity and openess.

Beard Goggles says:: I thought for a moment that you had just stabbed him in the back of the neck and that was poe's deathface.

I like how this photo has a double meaning. Nice job.

Ha!!! It's really funny dirty. Kinked!

Andrew says:: Happy jnon day to you. @jnonfiction, @wiseacre, @ulaoceallaigh and @elldub's photos were what drew me to whiskerino in the first. It truly has taken on a life of its own over the years.

thanks again for keeping it going for a final year

Davis says:: i'm still wishing i'd joined up the whiskerino 03, even though i discovered it close to the end (and i was pretty well into my First Real Beard). still, always interesting to see how things have ended up.
