Portland Monthly: Portland beardiest city in U.S.

Portland Monthly has somehow come to the conclusion that Portland is the beardiest town in these United States. While I can already hear the heavy sigh and collective “duh” from PDX beardies throughout the snow covered Willamette Valley, I am quite excited to see a little recognition (even if it is in a publication based in Beard Ground Zero).

The article is full of stellar quotes, too:

A beard is a scarf that works great while bike riding.

We have a populace and an electorate whose easy-like-Sunday-morning attitude allows all of those who are too lazy or cheap to buy a razor the good grace to go without one.

A beard is a bullshit filter. It keeps me from working at lame places and 
interacting with lame people.

My beard-growing goes with my life philosophy: not why, but why not?

A beard is a friend who is always there to give you a hug.

So, from the home of the Revue, and snagged from the pages of Portland Monthly, here is some hot Stumptown beard action. (Follow the link for more large photos.)
