Favorite neckbeards through history

^That's a masterful beard!

Oh yes, masterful, the best of now.

@Bacon: How can he steal my name. I registered it.

El comandante having a bowl:

Kevork Chavush, Armenian revolutionary, sporting a lip beard. (And lots of ammo.)

[ivanovnegro]

Black George, also sporting a lip beard, kicked the Turks in the ass:

"In the company of one guy, with little porridge, dried meat, hard cheese, corn and brandy in his bag, always armed with more than it's marked, Black Djordje, as lanky and light- footed as he was, visited all shortcuts in Sumadija and regions across the river Morava, and at first he found his knowledge about the country and opportunities of hills, forests, water and not-well-known paths in future warfare against the Turks, but the main objective of his silent and invisible detour of Serbia was to visit and know better every significant landowner, concillate him for the national cause and to check how much is each of them determined to fight for it.

Actually from the Balkans to the Caucasus we would never stop with whatever kind of beard.

^Nice! Black George and Kevork Chavush both have Turkish ass-kicking in common.

[ivanovnegro]

^ Ah, of course.

But we do not discriminate, Suleiman the Magnificent, the most powerful sultan of the Ottoman Empire with a full beard.

We do not discriminate, so here is:

Genghis Khan, a guy you want to have as older brother. He is featuring a goatee plus lip beard (handlebar), still a favourite of many.

This is me, circa 1989, sporting much hair and beard...

[ivanovnegro]

^ Wow Clooney. Wait, are you the one with Armenian roots? :)

[bones]

^Yes, half Armenian, on my mom's side.

If anyone else is watching the World Series, the Boston Red Sox have a great collection of manly beards, especially Mike Napoli. As nearly as I can tell, all of their starters are wearing beards.

Many of the Cardinals are sporting beards, too, but theirs are mostly the finely trimmed styles. I am pulling for the Cardinals, but I prefer the real beards of the Red Sox.

Yup, been keeping up with the game, too, although I'm a SF Giants fan. I have many friends who are Red Sox fans, so I lean towards them, but I do like the Cardinals, too. I think it was Brian Wilson, a.k.a. "The Beard," who started the recent beard trend in baseball. Also known as "The Finisher."

@Clooney: hahaha that is a fucking awesome picture of you!

@Tim: yeah i heard. one of these guys (not into it at all so don't know names) got offered 1 million by Gilette for shaving his beard off, and he refused. of course not in the least bit because he already makes a million a month anyway, but still.

[bones]

@Rho - Thanks! Those were the "hippy skater" years.

[ivanovnegro]

Wow, maybe I should watch Baseball.

[bones]

^I'm not even a sports fan, but I fucking love baseball.

Germany's Next Stallman, or Uncle F who made Siduction happen.

It was Brian Wilson, formerly with the Giants (the pic I posted), now with the Dodgers :(
