Pirate Pake, having sailed the high seas for several years, found his reputation bolstered by the cultivation of a beard. Such was the difference, he found himself highlighted on the scoreboard at Dowdy Ficklen Stadium at several football games among a crowd of 40,000+. This achievement is noteworthy after two previous years of being present at games in full gear, but never gaining the attention of PeeDee's crew without the beard.

No Shave November even encourages the timid to set out and cultivate their own.

*Will you?*

*This article was written with consent of Pirate Pake but in no way fully reflects his own personal views. Pirate Pake understands the plight of some men who are held at bay from growing beards by their first mate. Pirate Pake therefore is not responsible for those men who choose to rebel and is also not responsible for any stress placed upon current relationships between men and their mates.
