The ONLY Bad Thing About OBL's Demise

As some of you may know, a Washington state Middle School teacher Gary Weddle vowed on September 11, 2001 to stop shaving until Osama bin Laden was caught, in support of the United States Military and for the freedoms that America stands for.

After a long and arduous 3,454 days... On Monday morning, Gary shaved off his lengthy beard as he said he would almost ten years ago.

This is the ONLY bad thing about Sunday's monumental operation... here's to saluting our men and women in uniform.

Freedom's Just Another Word For Growing Hair

What better way to spend Independence Day weekend than to also celebrate your facial hair freedom? This Saturday, July 3rd, The Whisker Club (formed in 1998) will be hosting the 2nd North American Beard and Moustache Championship.  The event will take place in the Pacific Northwest - Bremerton, Washington, USA.

All of those with facial hair are welcome to compete and the fee to enter is $40.  To watch the championship, The Whisker Club is asking that spectators pay $20, BUT this fee includes a buffet lunch with proceeds going to The Washington Veterans Home, which recently added a homeless shelter.
