Day #2 As I sat on the porch of my dorm with my In-n-Out Burger shirt on, my beard and I craved that tasty creation of a Double Double Animal Style.
Day #3 Boron, Bonding, Beard beautifully bringing Chemistry brilliance to my brain.

The 5th of Novembeard My facial hair has taken on a clever Guy Fawkes disguise.
Day #6 Close encounters of the beard kind.
