Battle of the Beards: Joe - 3, Competition - 0

Pics from LEFT to RIGHT: Joe, Steve, Thys and Squonk
Joe garnered the first two beard comments and Thys' "accidental" shaving incident made the first ever "Battle of the Beards" contest for the Uwharrie Mountain Run much more interesting this week. The two comments enabled Joe to jump out to an early 3-0 lead, while Squonk worked the ground game with an impressive 17-mile run in freezing temperatures at Hanging Rock. The speedy Thys, of course, is unfazed by his shaving blunder, and is still confident his run performance will see him through, providing the elements comply (inside info says it's going to snow at Uwharrie this year!). Steve on the other hand, sits in quiet confidence despite his lack of run training... what's Steve up to?

... I think squonk's beard is great. And I like the groundhog that's perched on his head. The real contest should be who has the most back hair. I hear if Squonk gets behind in the running, he'll just comb forward the hair from his shoulders. That's what those who have been raised by wolves learn to do. |
