E.C. - if terrorism is equivalent to beards then Abe Lincoln was a helluva terrorist.

KFJ - I will not argue that a beard fetish CAN be gay. However, Whiskerino is predominatly a heterosexual activity - focusing on male comradery, friendship, and internet nerding out. Please note that nowhere in there is "creepy guys from Flickr adding you to their friends list."

Whiskerino 2007 is around the corner and for all the whining this old mammy does, I look forward to seeing all your pretty faces sprouting again. Happy holidays and eat your veggies so the beards grow long and strong!

Michael says:: Jim, a moustache is a moustache - solo. If you've got a beard and moustache - then you've got a beard, not just a moustache. It's one of those things where if you feel like you might be stretching the rules, you probably are.

The soul patch is totally acceptable. It's encouraged that you just go full on moustache with nothing else but a little lower lip balance never hurt anyone. Last year I rocked a little chin hair along with mine and there wasn't much of an uproar.

The dude from Orange County Choppers most definetly has a stache. If you can pull that style off, you'll be an inspiration to us all.

Jimbolaya says:: No, I have enough for a 'stache now... I want to know what is not a 'stache... I mean can one rock a full beard? The 'stache is still there?

I think I'm gonna hear only 'stache, but is a soulpatch acceptable to pull off a mean White Goodman from Dodgeball impersonation?

Also, how far down can the 'stache descend from the lip? I mean is that crazy dude from Orange County Choppers count as a stache?

I am so on the fence with this... I'll probably end up doing it just for the community, but I'm gonna hate it (in a love/hate way).

Michael says:: James C, not allowed. I mean, theres not even any upper lip hair on that style. How is that a moustache?

Jimbolaya, the base concept is to just have a moustache for a month and take photos documenting. It is not a competition so if you wanna have a rockin stache for the month of May - start growing it now.

ryanhale says:: patrick, an mvb i won showed up as the mvb and the random image. so, being logged in as myslef, what are the chances that i would get one of my 4 mvbs in the mvb window AND have that same image show up as a random beard?

according to your formula and my calulator, the number is .0000003 whatever that really means, i'm not sure.

Mackle says:: There are roughly 7,400 images in the database (7,395 to be exact) that could be culled for the Random Beard image. The code does not specify that the Random Beard can not be the same as the MVB image. Ryan earned 4 MVB's during his tenure in Whiskerino 2005.

Discuss.

Patrick says:: Mackle, can you run some sort of MYSQL script to see how many uploaded beards there are total?
posted: 04-05-2006
Patrick says:: Ryan: Do you mean the same image twice on one pageload (i.e., showing up as MVB and Random Beard)? If so, does Random Beard ever display an MVB? I haven't seen one. If it doesn't then the probability is zero.

If it does, then the probability depends on the person, and is based on (a) how many MVBs the person has won, and (b) the total number of uploaded photos in this competition. Let's call those variablas A and B. Then the final probability is simply (A/B)*(1/B), assuming the "Random Beard" is effectively random and does not depend on the picture chosen for MVB.

ryanhale says:: someone figure out the probability of getting the same image of yourself twice. with the number of contestants, the number of possible photos for the random beard, the number of possible photos for mvb and having them be your own photo, the chances have to be fairly low.
