Don't be skeered, it's just a beard
It's... the headless... beardsman?

It's a little-known fact that Madison's biggest exports are notions, novelties, trinkets, doo-dads, and such. Sometimes, those come in web form (and no, I don't just mean Etsy pages). We may not be able to claim FAIL Blog or Look At This Fucking Hipster as our own, but I have just discovered that Madison boasts at least one overly specific goof-off blog: Beards From Below. That is, beards, photographed from underneath, at pretty much a 90-degree angle. I'm not really sure how active it is at the moment, but damned if the beard gallery isn't disturbing. But hey, it kind of puts all beards on a level playing field—namely, one on which they all look weird. I officially feel sorry for, you know, anyone who's ever in a position to get that view of a bearded fellow in real life. Woof. Anyway, look for my forthcoming blogs, Combovers From Behind and Mutton Chops Through Stained Glass. And if that doesn't satisfy your cravings for localized facial-hair coverage, go see Andy Moore's recent Isthmus piece on ironic mustaches.
