Ok, so it has come to the attention of the powers that be that one of OTB’s regular authors is out of conformity with the others.
To wit, we have OTB founder, James Joyner:
Steven Taylor:
Alex Knapp:
Yes, a bit brooding, but bearded.
And yet, what about Doug Mataconis? Did he not get the memo?
I mean, gee whiz, Dodd at least has been photographed with a ‘stache and soulpatch:
(And no, this silly post has nothing to do whatsoever with the fact that grading essays sucks).

Clearly, one of these bloggers is not like the other.
Doug has a Yankees hat on.
He wins.
Clearly all of you are from the Mirror Universe
I notice that Rodney is shamefully clean-shaven, too.
I’m part of the OTB Facial Hair Club for Men. Actually, my mustache is older than any of the other bloggers here.
No facial hair for me, either–though I’m the only one of my male siblings to be shaved. The only thing worse than shaving is not shaving.
I am distressed by this turn of events. Quick, someone call Andrew Sullivan!
@John: That may be a factor in the decision to wear a goatee. One can shave, and not shave, every day!
As long as none of you shave below the neck, you’re still in accordance with Ron Swanson’s Pyramid of Greatness.
Hmm. Joyner looks good in his new picture. Taylor? Not bad, but maybe a little high-school-geometry-teacher-ish. Knapp’s picture looks like something out of one of those reality cop shows (the perp, not the cop). And Mataconis? Since when do you let pre-teens blog?
Sincerely,
MarkedMan (and you will never see my picture as it often frightens dogs and small children)
I’ve been called worse 😉
Like, serial killer? White collar? Just how evil do I look, exactly?
It’s not a soul patch. it goes all the way to my chin, damnit!
I think that Dodd’s beard is best characterized as a Zappa.
