Justin Bobby

I'd like to start this post by apologizing for the lack of beards lately. The end of the semester is just around the corner and I have been extremely busy with work and school. Hopefully when all of this madness is over and I can relax for the summer, I will be back to posting every day. But until then, I apologize, and you will just have to bear with me.

Justin Bobby...does he even have a last name? In case you don't like stupid "reality" shows like me, he's famous because of The Hills on MTV. Throughout the seasons he's had numerous facial hair changes. No beard, simple goatee, shaggy homeless beard, etc. My personal favorite is when he had a goatee and short hair and didn't look like he had been living on the streets.

Dmitri Mendeleev

Dmitri Mendeleev, founder of the Periodic table.
Dude, whatever. He looks straight up homeless.
I wouldn't mess with him though, that is a pretty badass beard.

ZZ Top

[via: About.com]

ZZ Top has been around since the late 1960s and Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill have been rocking the beards ever since then. Ironically enough, Frank Beard doesn't actually have a beard. Gibbons and Hill were once offered $1 million each to shave their beards for a Gillette commercial but of course they declined. No amount of money would rid them of their awesome beards.

Bernhard Riemann

Bernhard Riemann, a great German Mathematician contributed to differential geometry and even helped pave the way for development of general relativity. As for the beard, it is just incredible. Full and dignifited. 

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is the perfect example that not all beards look good. While he is extremely gorgeous in the left picture, he looks awful and homeless and gross in the picture on the right due to his beard.

Uncle Sam

[via: sonofthesouth.net]

Uncle Sam, what a sweet iconic beard. It's strikingly similar to Buffalo Bill and Colonel Sanders, whom I have mentioned previously. I mailed my tax return in today, have you? Tax Day is Wednesday! Get on it!

Today while wasting time with StumbleUpon, it brought me to this photo gallery of beards and mustaches! I believe earlier, I posted a video from the World Beard and Mustache championships, but here's some photos from it to enjoy!

Jesus Christ

[via: Top News]

In  honor of tomorrow being Easter, I figured I would post about one of the most famous beards in history. Jesus. Sorry if you're not Christian, but you have to admit Jesus has a pretty epic beard.

Geico Caveman

Growing a beard, so easy a caveman could do it.

David Letterman

[via: squidoo]

David Letterman must have been inspired by Joaquin Phoenix because he has quite an awesome beard going on. Seriously, he looks happier. I hope the beard sticks around for longer.

Duane "Dog" Chapman

[via: bebo.com]

Dog The Bounty Hunter is incredibly intense and entertaining at the same time. Plus, Dog seems to really care about what happens to them after he catches them. Anyway, don't you think his beard pulls in his whole look? I think so.

Blackbeard

[via: Frogblade]

Edward Teach aka Edward Thatch aka Blackbeard, one of the most feared pirates of all time. How did I not think of him earlier?! I mean, seriously, his name has BEARD in it. I'd like to dedicate this post to not just Blackbeard, but pirates in general, because they always seem to have the coolest beards. Enjoy!

Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow

Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa

"Calico" Jack Rackham

Oruc Reis aka Barbarossa aka Redbeard [his beard wasn't actually red in any of the pictures I found. Hmm...]

Sir Henry Morgan aka Captain Morgan

Snoop Dogg

[via: The Writing on the Wall]

Snoop Dogg is one of the greatest West Coast rappers alive. His music is just as awesome now as it was when he came out with Doggystyle in 1993. Along with his music, his beard, or "beardizzle" as he might say, gives him true baller status.

George Clooney

[via: StyleBell blog]
Today I realized why all the ladies are gaga over Clooney. Scruffy-beard. Why didn't I think of that?

William Peterson

[via: televisionista]
I am so sorry this is such a belated post, unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way of beards. Yesterday's beard of the day was supposed to be William Peterson. CSI hasn't been the same since he left the show, his personality character replacement "Langston" doesn't even have a beard. psh.

Leonardo Da Vinci

[VIA: paradoxplace]
Leonardo DaVinci a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, and writer.
Whew.
DaVinci is a all around badass, with a badass beard.

Sean Penn

[via: Cinematical]

So I'm sitting here watching Milk and trying to figure out who to blog about today...and then it hits me. Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, of course! In the movie, before he became a serious political figure, Penn sported a wicked beard. There's lots of other awesome beards in this movie, so you should definitely check it out!
