The Demise of the Beard

The original beard auction was not, as you know, strictly for the beard itself. Instead it was an auction of its fate, a competition of ideas for how the beard should meet its end. Many colorful proposals were put forth, but one gained clear favor: Clip-on Padawan Braids.

Beard Execution: Friday at the iBall
