Longbeard Contest and Mustache Day

Every year, the A&B hosts the Longbeard Contest. On Feb. 1st, you show up clean-shaven to register:

And on St. Patty's day, you show up with the longest beard you can grow:

Mac and his labmates have been doing this for a few years now, and as you can see, it's always a good time. This year Mac won "Ugliest Beard" (I have to disagree with the judges here)!

This was a great way to spend St. Patty's Day, and it's all for a good cause. Every year the A&B picks a charity that receives all of the donations.

And to top it all off, Mac's department has Mustache Day the day after St. Patty's Day, where you can shave down your beard to something more interesting. The entries are all by photo, and this year Mac went with a Samurai theme. Shockingly he didn't win (probably because he won last year and they like to spread the love).

Never a dull moment here in sleepy little Princeton. :)

First, was that woman in the beard contest!? And then what about the man who already had a beard on Feb 1? I agree, Mac's beard was not really ugly. And lastly, I LOVE the samurai mustache submission...genius idea & outfit, great photo composition (Beth?) and all around a keeper of a photo. You two do make and find good fun. Yay!! :)
