The Danimal's Beardspiration


For my beardspiration, I turn to a man who is as impressive from his deeds as he is from his beard. From slavery to freedom to immortality, Frederick Douglass put the "man" in "statesman." In addition to being a great reformer and orator, he was also a man of letters who went on to become an author and publisher. While he fought for black suffrage, he pressed even more urgently for the desegregation of schools.

A longer beard is not hard to find, but rare is the beard with such grizzly yet dignified nuances, or which supports such a magnificent mane from above.

Very well stated Danimal, as you've proven over this weekend, your oration skills are indeed supreme. FD is surely an inspiring beardsperation!

It would seem that Dougie fresh's mane has touched your oration skills as well as your desire to grow facial fur. With your idol in mind I wish you the best of luck in growing your grizzly man mane.
