Log out of your mailbox, seal your backpacks and lower your trousers - cause next Wednesday marks the halfway point of this challenge, and with it comes the first judging.
I urge you all to think about your styling. It's important to plan ahead, so I suggest you all start sketching thing and prepare properly. No need to open Photoshop - but no one was ever arrested for overachieving.
Sincerely,
Ilanesh

Week 2 Challenge
Yesterday I was forced to boldly go where no Caucasian man has gone before – the depths of the mission. Riding my Iron-Horse Bicycle made it an even more difficult journey, an excursion that took its toll on me.
After dealing with my business, I found my warrior’s rest in the shape of a big, shiny cactus-colored Taquería on 24th street, between Harrison and Folsom.
I parked my bike outside, entered the premises and received an admiring nod by the fellow immigrants who were sporting their fajitas, raising their glasses of Porchata as a sign of appreciation for (who they thought were) a fellow devotee of La Bandera de México.
Not since I discovered how to make love to myself have I ever felt so proud. It was an immense moment that was as surreal as these life can get. I approached the counter for the sake of my borito, and when the Señorita started talking to me in the Mexican language of Spanish – I finally, for the first time ever, felt like a true man.
I challenge all of you, my fellow stachers, to be perceived – even if for just a split moment - as a Latino man.

So after a solid 7 days of growth, this is where things are at. 
Too early to call the front runner but the leaders are already making their presence known.
Keep up the good work and don't forget to...
Stay Hairy!

Picture Day
Take your pinky finger, cover your pube staches and run to the monkey bars kids. Toddberto Chavez has just stepped on the playground...and playtime...is over.
Clarification
Gentlemen,
As today’s first ruling looms, I wanted to specify that we maintain a ‘zero tolerance approach’ for performance-enhancing drugs of any kind.
As many of you know, some of our members have been using performance-enhancing weed in their leisure and advertising time, however in the spirit of the upcoming Olympic Games, let us show the world we play fair and square.
Yours truly,
The Holy Stache

DRAMA
Dearly beloved,
We've gathered here today to commemorate the fall of Honor (one man's honor).
I believe it was Ron Seichrist who once said: "A society is measured by its weakest link".
And so, for the sake of our strength, we must insist on Mike's penalty.
From the power invested in me by my duty as The Executioner Elect. I here by call upon (yet another) assembly to discuss these recent developments.
Yours truly,
Frankelstache

I secede
I don't serve punishments dictated to me by men (and women) who have no power over me. Enjoy your competition.
And let the shit talking beeegiiiiiiiiin ................now!

The Pointer - Legal or Illegal?
Is this legal? I want to do arrow pointing sideburns to emphasize the mustache.
Man-ifesto
Members:
After the events of today I feel that there may be a need for more orderly assembly . I say this not to suggest that todays proceedings were unsuccessful, but rather to ensure that all future proceeding (in the unlikely event of further infractions of the Constitution) are addressed and solved in a swift and just manner.
This assembly of fine gentlemen is in need of structure to maintain it's high esteem among the community and ensure that future generations of Mustache Men inherit that very same esteem
Therefore, I Toddberto Chavez propose an election of a formal government of the Men of Stache.
This proposition includes the election of a President, Vice President, Speaker of the League of StacheMen, and The Executioner Elect, who will oversee that all punishment be carried out to their express specifications.
When our 4 Fathers fought back the Red Coats in that glorious year of 1876 and cried Viva La Revolution across the banks of the Nile River, one man stood proudly at the front in tight pants , General George Steve Washington.
I think there is a man among us who exemplifies those same qualities. A man who has shown valor in the face of our Red Coats, the Shick Quatro.
A man who would wipe the blood of his enemy on his upper lip and cry into the night air "you may take our respect and chances of getting laid, but you'll never take our soup strainers."
That man.... is Christopher Hendricks Ryan, "the best a man can get."
Gentlemen, join me and elect Christopher Hendricks Ryan to the first Presidency of The Mustache Nation.
Also, seeing that Frankelstache is ex. army and probably knows some secret ball torture techniques, why not make him The Executioner Elect.
As the for the other two positions, go ahead and nominate yourselves, I don't really have the energy, I've already spent far to much time writing this post and have completely lost interest.
Viva La Mustache.

Prediction
Posted by Cliff:
I don't really grow facial hair. I shave maybe once a week. And it only takes me two minutes since I use an electric. I'm 26 but in six weeks I'll look like a 16 year old whofinally hit puberty hasn't discovered how to shave yet. I predict I'm going to look something like this:
or this:
It's going to be awesome.

Well it was a tough decision, whether or not to pull myself out of hair growing retirement. As some of you may know, I have competitively grown before. There was the fro off in '03 - that was an invitation from a friend at Heeb Magazine to grow out my jewfro, and chime comedians on and off stage with a giant accordian during their August Comedy Showcase. Then there was the Frofest '05- which lasted for about two years. And then the Israeli holy beard challenge, during a brief stint in the holy land. So, I've seen some shit. Guys that can part their nuckle hair, dandruff the size of golf balls...
But after talking it over with loved ones, I've decided to return to professional growing. Michael Jordan plays basketball. Kobayashi eats hot dogs. I grow hair.

And away we go
Posted by Ilan:
I started shaving when i was 10. At age 16, facial hair started growing so i started shaving there, too. I am a proud owner of a unibrow and have been growing my backstache for over a decade now. At age 21, when hair started migrating from my skull i thought the days of lovely hair pride were nothing but a liquorish sweet memory.
Or so I thought.
This experiment marks a new era in my life, an era where I cease trimming, and begin grooming.
The dominos will fall no more, and the asparagus will no longer be green.
I face a rough competition in the shape of some of the most distinguished men who ever walked the streets of this fine city.
But i have every intention of prevailing, i have every intention of being the last man standing.
This is my declaration of independence. Here is where i announce my future victory.
Godspeed to us all,
I 2 the L 2 the A 2 the N

The end of life as we know it...
Well after six days of growth, I feel the respect for my upper lip growing, literally. I'd like to share some musings with you all. After a trip deep into the heart of Mustache Territory, I have to say we are officially late to the party. I witnessed some works of art during my travels. My first realization was that there is no better ice breaker than a hairy upper lip. It breaks down the wall of age, race, and in select cases gender. I'd like to share a picture with you all of a lovely lady that I had the privilege of conversing with. 
She liked my mustache and I was enamored with her outfit.
Opportunities like this are only afforded by having healthy hair follicles embedded deep within your Labium Superius Oris. With this growth we enter a new season in our lives. I promise you all that it will be a rewarding and exciting time for each of us. It will be filled with memories, stories and looks of disgust. Stay strong Mustachios. You will make it through and be a bigger man because of it.
Finally a few thoughts I had while on vacation:
If I were a Politician, I would grow a mustache. It would show the voters I was both mature and a man of the people.
If I were a Zookeeper, I'd grow a mustache. Then the Lions and tigers would know who's boss.
If I were a Stripper, I'd grow a mustache. It'd distract my clients from the fact I can't dance.
If I were a professional Snowboarder, I'd grow a mustache. I wouldn't have to wipe my nose as often.
If I were a Police Officer, I'd grow a mustache. Built-in upper lip armor.
If I were a rapper, I'd grow a mustache. No need for bodyguards when you have a mustache.
And finally,
if I were in Advertising, I'd grow a mustache. Becuase we're the only ones crazy enough to have a competition built around hair growth.
Stay Hairy!
