Cooley's 2008 Beard Growing Contest

God, I wish I could grow a beard.

I can just grow that semi-opaque unhygienic-looking half beard with inconsistent hair patches everywhere. I just end up looking like I should be working at the county fair or something. It's depressing.


What makes it worse (this is probably the most random story I've ever told w/in a thread) is that one day in confession many years ago, my crazy long bearded priest asked me what I wanted for Christmas that year. It was probably the middle of June and he was probably going senile, so I simply blurted off, "Nintendo 64" or something like that.

He then looked at me and said, "No, You want a beard for Christmas."

I laughed it off at the time... but now I seriously do want a beard for Christmas, or at least some wicked handlebars.

Random observation...........

Last night, I watched an interview with Cooley on redskins.com in which he discussed the beard growing contest. I then watched Generation Kill on HBO. Cooley talks just like the guy who drives the humvee and wears those Elvis sunglasses. They both are constantly cracking jokes, speak pretty fast, and their pitch/tone is
remarkably similar. End random thoughts.

i would love to but my beard when growed out looks like Paul Pierce with rabies..oh yeah true story
