It's that time again, kids. Decorations have been exhumed from their boxes, ware peddlers have earnestly begun their furious peddling, and the first seasonal feast has yet to metabolize into a New Year's resolution. Whether you celebrate this, the fourth Friday of November, by ravenous consumption of goods, by conspicuously abstaining therefrom, or something more moderately mainstream, SweetBeard and the Church of Pogonotrophy have a little something for you. I speak of course of QR codes.

For the consumption crowd:

Or to those who resist:

These two new tracts are yours free from the Church of Pogonotrophy. Login to SweetBeard, print them out, email them, post them to the social media webernets, and spread the word! Your very own QR code will be embedded for anyone with a smartphone, be they corporate drones or those prone to rage against them.

We apologize for the late use of a tired meme, but hot off the Sweetbeard Tipline is a man growing All The Beards! More impressive still, he's basing his work on an expanded list of facial hair types. We should all take inspiration from this truly noble experiment, which unlike prohibition, actually makes the world a better place. Continue on your pogonotrohic journey with a full-contact perusal of The Beard Pages. You surely will not be disappointed.

This meme brought to you by Hyperbole and a Half.

You thought the beard hat was cool. CraveOnline has compiled our little post with several more into a comprehensive list of kids who must have exceedingly proud parents. I don't know about you, but when I see the beard above I don't think Cub Scout, I think Intergalactic Astronaut Leader of Men.
