Lets honor Ryan Davis by growing a beard!

One of the things that most people associated with Ryan, was his glorious beard. I hereby suggest that my fellow bombers and I should honor the man by attempting to grow a beard. While it will probably never be anywhere near as great as the original, I think it would still be a fitting tribute to a great man.

We can use this as an outlet to post pictures of our humble attempts as they come to fruition.

So, who's with me!?

Hell ya I'm with you. Let the growing commence!!

yep. Was supposed to shave the day i heard the news, and then I just didn't want to. Been growing ever since

Life is too short for beards.

Too late. Already got a sexy, sexy beard.

Always be bearding.

I'm with you in spirit on this one, but that's about as committed as I can be with something like this. Knock 'em out of the park, kid.

I've been rocking the ginger beard for a couple months now. It'll never attain the status of a Ryan Davis beard.

I really wish I could grow a beard, I would totally be with you.

I have one already, so I'm going to slap a coworker instead

I'm currently 3 weeks into not shaving and it's going somewhere.

Congratulations, sir, on the grief beard.

I already have a shitty beard. I like to think Ryan would respect my willingness to embrace my hairy face, despite the quality.

@rick_fingers: don't forget to call him a human piece of shit.

Won't be hard at all, I'm already rocking a goatee and stubble.

@nutta27: I've been doing that already for years!

Shit I'm way ahead of you, I'll grow mine out even further though, or shave to match Ryan's old style, probably the former.

already there, but i attempted to trim it and now it's a touch uneven, so i'm rocking the best of both the ryan davis and patrick klepek worlds! :D

(i keed i keed, both beards were/are awesome in their own right)

I shaved last night, so I will be starting at a disadvantage, but I'll post some updates as it progresses. In the meantime, let's see some pics duders!

I am genetically inferior and can't grow facial hair. If I could I would totally do it.

Way ahead of you but I will dedicate my awesome facial hair to Ryan Davis! Just need to find someone to make a tiny plaque for it.

...I already have a beard.

Already have one.

I already have a beard...

Hell yeah! Growing the beard back. Haven't shaved since Monday and don't intend to start now.

I just shaved mine last Tuesday.

I already have a pretty feeble attempt at a beard going on at the moment :/

I really wish i could honor Ryan in some kind of meaningful way.

The only thing i can do is just try to adopt the wonderful outlook on life he had.

P.S. idk if any of that was relevant, I'm just pacing around my house now and freaking out :(

I...I can't...

Me and Jeff will have our imaginary grief beards together.

I pushed this one out this morning.

I'm already there but I guess I lose because I can't stand it if it's not trimmed.

@daddycabinet: Impressive!

I can't grow a beard... I lose...

I'm in. I was planning on keeping a clean face for the rest of the the summer, but now I have to grow it to do my part in honoring Ryan's memory.

Already on it!

Already have a bit of a Lincoln thing going on, but I'll try to grow out the mustache. It's never really worked out too well before, but hey, Ryan's worth it.

I would totally do this but the last time I tried, everybody told me my shitty beard looked like a bush of pubic hair....

I just can't grow a decent one. :(

I'm a software engineer primarily focused on UNIX. I'm many years ahead of you on this beard thing. :)

I'm Indian, so growing a beard is really easy for me because we Indians are hairy as hell. I'll definitely be growing my beard in honour of Ryan.

As a grown ass man I already have a beard. Bourbon in his honor may be in line.

I had been thinking about this!

Well, I'll be growing it now too but I'll be doing a bit of trimming. :)

my beard is currently in the Ryan Davis style.. I shall post it when i get the chance.

Already way ahead on the beard, so maybe I'll shave it, glue it to a co-worker and grow a fresh one. And then slap the glued one of my co-workers face in honor of Ryan.

I'm already covered, but I might shave and regrow it in honor of Ryan.

I love beards. I love Ryan Davis. I'm in.

I'd love to join this beard growing party, but I've already a well amount of hair on my face. Can I shave it then regrow it in Ryan's honor? Does that count?

This is basically what I've done. I would let it grow out a little more but I can't stand having a beard. I'll be with you guys in spirit though.

I can't grow a beard. But I will grow one in spirit.

I was going to shave it for going outside tomorrow, but I guess it would be easier not to. Sold!

Yeah, I've been sporting a Ryan beard for a while now...

Of course, I don't think I ever saw Ryan wearing Chickens on his shoulders. BTW, the wife hates it, but with what's happened I've decided to keep it for a while.
