You want to make the GDT in the General section or should I?

EDIT: Actually one of the mods in the general section may copy the templete over into another thread there.

LIKE! Lol

What's the rule on playoff beards? Is it start growing when they clinch, or on game day 1? I ask because I've already got a nice white one started. Naturally white, unfortunately.

C'mon

Its not that bad!!!

[Dudehama]

I thought the end of the regular season is when you start.

[Muppet]

I started my playoff beard once we clinched a spot, and seeing as my facial hair grows at 400mph, it's already extremely annoying.

Does the bell get anything out of this?

[TheMurdocktor]

I'm gonna have to trim my chin hair a bit so it can match-up with the other facial hair.

Don't want any imbalances.
