∞ The beard honored by the American Mustache Institute

American Mustache Institute:

But there are exceptions to every rule, and we have found one, courtesy of our friends at Build-A-Beard.

The owner and operator of said goatee — a goatee that is certainly worthy of praise — is one Jim Dalrymple of The Loop, who was caught in this photo hounding bicyclists wearing uncessary biking shorts while he was walking to an Apple iPad event.

The beard salutes you!

    Haha well deserved! Probably just the beginning of awards coming The Beards way.

    Congratulations on the honor – but really, calling the beard a “goatee” is like calling Steve Jobs “that guy who’s good with computers.”

      I couldn’t have put it better myself.

    It’s where your wife says, “You know honey, I’m not sure I can deal with the total awesomeness and orgasmic pleasure of a mustache, but maybe a goatee would do.” :-)

    And we salute The Beard right back. I’m glad to see that he is being gracious about being referred to as a goatee. What class!

    Still working on my application. I think I have a good chance this year.

    Also, now sleeping on the couch.
