The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.

It has to be Les Twentyman's charity we support, surely? It represents everything that's good about the West. In a lot of ways it's what the West is all about-supporting people who need help in a useful, practictible way.


Like DD says there's more babies charities than you can poke a stick at. I really, really like babies and all-I'm as clucky as the next man-but Les's charity does vital work right where it's needed and it needs all the help it can get. Any money we can raise will be more valued by Twentyman than most charities.


I'll dip into my extremely limited clothing budget and buy a long sleeved shirt if you nominate Les's charity.

When you say everything good about the West you mean drugs, refugees and that funny smell when you drive down Footscray Rd right?

I agree about the charity, I've got a new baby and I'm spending all my time with it already, so to donate money to other peoples babies seems silly. I imagine Les' name would gain a bit more traction within the club if we actually want Ben to be involved.

You're describing the ghettos of Sunshine, St Albans and as much as it pains me to say, having been norn and bred there, Footscray. Apart from those blights the West is a thriving vibrant area. Well let's say more parts are really good than are really bad but the influx of more and more money will make convenient places like the middle of Footscray unteneble for the druggies and other unsavoury practices in the end.

Sorry I was just showing some Eastern suburbs bias, it was meant as a joke. I live in the hills, there's as much drugs here as pretty much anywhere else.
I know the west is a thriving area, I looked at house prices in Yarraville a while ago. I sure can't afford to move there.

Anyway, beards, they're cool kids, you know it.

Travis Johnstone's beard >>>>>> Ben Hudson's beard.

Therefore:
Beards are gay.

It might be bigger, but it sure isn't greater than.

Surely FDOTM has to decide what charity the BHBAS supports.

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.

Yeah but he'd sell 25 copies in one day and then everyone would say how good he was at selling copies of the Big Issue and he wouldn't sell another copy for the rest of the season...sorry, rest of the month.

I normally have that well beat by morning tea!!

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.

Why?

He's the one that came up with the idea of a charity in the first place, he organised the t-shirts & did a presentation to the playing group.

Don't you think it should be his idea what charity is supported?

+ 1

(what does the Beard think?)


NB I know I posted it before, and so has someone else, but the Les Twentyman issue has Bulldogs positive all over it for mine.

Received my shirt in the mail on Friday, dissapointed that the vinegar smell was absent as everyone had been talking it up, must have been lost in tranist to WA. Super happy with the shirt, well done all.

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.

Sorry I haven't logged on for a while (an entire week!). Had computer access issues. It seems I've stirred up a kerfuffle with my preferred choice of charity in the Twentieth Man, going up against the babies and a couple of breasts (no pun intended). All I ask that a decision be made soon as we need to work on event promotion and strategies very soon. Let us keep in mind that whatever the charity is selected, that we do them justice in our fundraising. I will put my hand up for some voluntary hours on a regular basis, in any capacity, to help out as I do have some free afternoons. I just need to What, Where and When and with Who. Let's get it started!! Long live the Beard!!

No hurry, we don't play the Dockers until late on in the season.

Probably best if you PM FDOTM to work out the logistics.

Does FDOTM and Easybeat still post here?

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.

Got both of my BHBAS shirts signed at the Family Day. Seems I had the distinction of having the first long-sleeved 'In Beard We Trust' Ben had signed. He loved the way the new image came up. Compliments to those involved.
