    Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.

    OK Beardlings! Beardettes? What are we? Beardophiles? Beardists? The Beard Army? The Beard Brigade? Los Beardistas!

    Got a luke warm response on here to:

    International Ben Hudson's Beard Day - Boo Hiss bum fluff to you all

    But then Godoggies gave it the thumbs up and she knows someone who knows murph!

    And then talking to Comrade and TCD at the intra club this morning they are keen - we are thinking of finding a B charity and calling it something like....

    wait for it...

    Beards for Bowel Cancer!

    or even

    Beards for Babies!

    we could go environmental and call it

    Beards for Bilbies

    You get the idea - something like that.

    I don't think Beards for Breast Cancer is quite the thing though.

    Anyway, it is on. I am going to write it up into a kind of White Paper/proposal thingy so we have something to show the club/huddo/rocket etc and get them on board. Obviously we can do it without the club, but it would be good to do it with them. We can't really do it without Huddo but obviously he doesn't have to actually do anything just say yes and not shave before round 17.

    I was thinking we could ask Robert Murphy if he would be the Patron of The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society. I suspect he might be quite keen and I think it is funnier if the patron is not actually Ben Hudson.

    But I digress, we mainly need people from Woof who are willing to DO THE ACTUAL WORK. I am far too busy and important to do anything other than come up with the idea and take the credit.

    So...

    Let us know what you think of Beards for Babies Day (or whatever) and

    GET ON BOARD WITH THE BEARD OR SHAVE OFF!

    ahahhahahaha

      Also - we have sold 12 of the new shirts already!

      And if the charity thing gets off the ground, I will put the price of the shirts up (at the moment I get nothing from the sale of them) and we can donate the extra to whichever charity it is.

          Sounds good! As you know I'll help in anyway I can, just let me know what's needed.
          And yes I do know (well have a distant association with) one of Murph's friends (who was his ex-housemate) And I do have a direct line of contact with Murph himself (not that it's certain to get any responce!) so I can give it a try if you all think it's worth it?

          Beards for Babies LMAO imagine we could have little mini-beards for sale! hahahaha

            Beards for babies is good.
            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              I think that day out with the beard society will be a good step, whether its round 2 against Richmond or another away game..If we sit together the beard society could get a glimpse via radio and/or tv coverage. This would be a good way to promote the Beard for Babies day..make sure people know its going to be for a good cause..

                  Sounds like a good idea Druid, especially after reading the article last week about Les

                        Thanks for memories Official 2008 Draft/Trade Thread. You were truly a thread with a lot of replies compared to the average thread on WOOF.

                        All hail The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society, another hair follicle like feather in your might bear like cap.

                        A little film clip to remember the great 'Official 2008 Draft/Trade Thread'. Well worth clicking on.

                              That's perhaps the funniest thing i've read on this site ever!

                              Will definitely buy a shirt noe, but should I wait for a charity to get chosen and the price to go up?


                              NB I also vote for the Les Twentyman idea. Solid suggestion.

                                If there was a choice between books & babies, surely you have to go babies, if for no other reason we were all one once & besides, they're cuter than books. Also babies are easier to garner support for.
