When my friend, Mette, showed up to Keep Portland Beard with her Stick of Irony, I was overjoyed. The diligent anthropologist that she is, Mette has written about the experience and included a fantastic infographic.
Honestly, any excuse to check out The Bureau of Betterment is a good excuse. So go forth; be hip.

Cut-out beards
by Rembrand Le Compt
After drawing and painting paper beards for friends, back in April, I had the brilliant idea to make prints of the cut-out beards. I think they can easlily stand side by side with Kenn Munk’s designs so I thought I’d share.
I wholeheartedly agree. These are amazing. And Beardfluff? Stellar name.

I’m not sure by whose authority this day of honor is declared, but any excuse to whip out the summer ’stache is fine by me.
It should be noted that this chart is all too cramped. A personal favorite is still Fontstaches by Tor Weeks, a simple, elegant and creative chart for the typoholic in us all.

Bald-Faced Lie →
Is the correct variation bold-face lie or bald-faced lie or something else?
Answer:
The correct term is bald-faced, and refers to a face without whiskers. Beards were common in the 18th and 19th centuries and were thought to mask facial expressions. Thus a bald-faced liar was a very good liar indeed, and was able to lie without the guilt showing on his face.

Male fish in Mexico sports sexy moustache
From the BBC:
The results were clear: on experiments involving over 100 fish, females consistently preferred males with moustaches.
“The moustache-like structure seems to be a previously unrecognised sexually selected trait in poeciliid fishes,” the researchers write in the journal (Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology).

The world's finest stache of quality papers.
I’ve been a fan of French Paper ever since I made some super-Portlandy beard posters with my friend Kyle Durrie of Power and Light Press. It’s no secret they have the finest stash of quality papers, but now they’ve got the collateral to back it up. It’s nice to see French Paper is a moustache-friendly company.

Cooking with Pomaine’s moustache
Edouard de Pomiane (1875-1964) was one of the first great modern food writers and culinary personalities, a biologist by training who invented the field he called “gastrotechnology,” or the science of cookery. He was also known for his great moustache.
Justus Oehler via Pentagram just designed a beautifully moustachio’d new cover for the classic book.

WatchJames Randi
9.2
An old man after my own heart, James Randi speaks in terms any old fool can understand. The wisdom with which he is endowed is bolstered by his beard — after all, you can trust a man with a beard.
Randi’s simple Clausian beard is the sort of specimen to which many men aspire but too few ever achieve. It bolsters any of his assertions as an elder, scientist or conjurer. And you...
