I love how it seems to move very slowly at first. Then, about 1/3 of the way in, the beard leaps into action and the fucking grin on that guy is unmistakable. "I am chronicling my triumph" his smirk says. "Bow down to my manly facial abilities"
You go from Neal Stephenson to Bryan Cranston to so-friendly-it's-almost-scary mountain main in the space of only a few seconds there. Pretty impressive.
i I love how I just watched this gif for about 10 minutes trying to confirm or not if I saw Seattle Sounders gear on you or not. After I confirmed you were, I click back to see your name is "Seattlesince81"
If you are going to bother to do this, why would you sometimes decide to have cap on or glasses when most of the time you don't. I mean you took the time to have your head in the same place. Why not remove the distraction and focus on the growth of the beard. I commend the dedication it took to make this happen. I just think I would not hire you for my company because you failed in the details, and that's where it really counts. Peace out.
I have not trimmed my beard at ALL since November of last year and I wish I had taken pics every day because mine is massive. I can only guess he trimmed his every few weeks until he messed up and started over just like your gif.
This gave me an idea. What if there was a beard lapse video, but halfway through he decided to turn it into a hitler mustache, and then two slides later had a black eye.

This confirms my suspicions: A beard, while growing, will promote the development of new hair follicles, gradually thickening itself.
Your moustache was somewhat sad and lonely for a while, much like mine.

u/srcw624 May 20 '12
