As some of you might realise, the cfObjective conference is round the corner in May... I have decided that we should have a bit of a Moustache Competition (for those people that can grow them, I am not sexist!) Who's with me?

I am working on a Paul Snr (from American Chopper) at the moment.

I think it should be a tash, not a goatee... no chin hairs..

While I think the idea is genius, my wife has an opinion that quite frankly overrides my enthusiasm in the matter.

Damn blogcfc spam filter...

OK let me try again. First of all, I'm in the same boat as Josh.

Second, no chin hairs? You want me to look like a 70's pr0n star?

Gentlemen, grow a goatee and on the morning of the conference turn it into a tash :) We gotta do it!

And yea Todd, that is the idea, or ... Paul Snr! :D

I wonder if Ben Forta would do it... which reminds me of my next evil plan... coming soon ;)

Well I'm on about 2 weeks of growth at the moment...I'll see how long I can get away with it.

Only problem is I lack the ability to grow 'the handlebar' - I just get the goofy lip caterpillar...

I'm in, Mark. I too will try for the Paul Sr. and shave my head. We'll be like twins and go everywhere together and be best friends for ever and ev...... er uh.... well. I'm in, we'll leave it at that.

Damn, I just shaved my van dyke last night. Oh well, I'm in.

I don't think we should limit this to just a stash. I think the hair should be anywhere and everywhere!

So - *why* are we doing this??

If you have to ask "why" then this might not be right for you Todd. Because we are men.

For the last 6 years I've taken part in a bi-annual beard contest called Whiskerino:

http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/viewdate/11-01-2007/

The only rule is that you must shave clean on Nov 1, you may not shave more than 50% of your beard during the following 4 months, and you must post a picture at least once a week.

Ps...the same guy who sponsors the beard contest also does another one called Moustache May:

@Andy Matthews: looks like the Moustache May is the greatest idea ever! And cfObjective is in may so makes perfect sense to me!

@Todd: Why? Why Not? I am going to give a prize away... *diggs through junk at home...* and the prize is *blowing dust off a book* ... a Flex book! I am going to also take pictures of you all and we can vote on it :D

Doh! Now I wish I was going to CFObjective (even more).

So, is the competition still on?
Mark Drew

Mark Drew wrote on 09/22/08 11:14 AM

Oh, its on man.. its sooo on.

I am going to give away a Flex 3 book and even maybe some goodies from the UK (I call them goodies rather than tourist tat... but they will be good! I promise!)

If anybody reads this.. blog it! Let it be know that the tashes will flow at cfobjective!
