Max needs therapy:
waaaaay too heavy for children.

Hangover Beard

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Halloween is quickly approaching, so it’s time to start thinking about a costume. The Hangover Beard could be one of the best of the year.

Go to the Hangover Beard website for the best reason to purchase one:“The Hangover Beard is $20 (shipping included). That’s about equal to the amount of free beer you will be given for having such a fucking awesome beard.”

Blogadilla Costume Recommendation: Wear a different costume on the Friday night before Halloween. For a second costume using this beard, head to Goodwill, pick up a cheap suit, grab a pint of milk, and stumble around acting like a disheveled Ron Burgundy.
