It all started with Myself and Brooks (Subber10) showing off our winter man growth:

@subber10 this is what I've got going on twitter.com/TimothyDeBlock…

— Timothy De Block (@TimothyDeBlock) February 19, 2013

@timothydeblock you've got me beat. twitter.com/Subber10/statu…

— Brooks Parker (@Subber10) February 19, 2013

And quickly escalated into a beard off:

@timothydeblock @subber10 So I guess I'm last in the @crawfishboxes beard contest. Tough competition.#NotReallytwitpic.com/c4yz24

— Sean Feist (@native_astro) February 19, 2013

@timothydeblock @subber10 This was me two weeks ago. Now I'm back down to nothing. twitter.com/AnthonyBoyerTC…

— Anthony Boyer (@AnthonyBoyerTCB) February 19, 2013

I wanna play! @timothydeblock @subber10 twitter.com/cardsjason/sta…

— jason cardwell (@cardsjason) February 19, 2013

We then went from pounding our chest to other areas of interest:

Bagwell is our inspiration: desipio.com/wp-content/upl… RT @subber10 If the #CrawfishBoxesBeardoff continues...TCB may end up The Crawfish Beard

Somebody who is good with photoshop needs to put a beard on Luhnow...

— Brooks Parker (@Subber10) February 19, 2013

There's only one beard that would do:

Ask and ye shall receive: @jluhnow joins the #CrawfishBeardOff assets.sbnation.com/assets/2187999…

@timothydeblock @subber10 #fearthecrawfishbeard twitter.com/d_more55/statu…

— Ryan Dunsmore(@d_more55) February 19, 2013

Suddenly everyone within the Astros organization past and present was getting the Jeff Bagwell makeover:

@subber10 @timothydeblock Baby face altuve no more #crawfishbeardoff twitter.com/d_more55/statu…

— Ryan Dunsmore(@d_more55) February 19, 2013

Kevin Goldstein chimed in with this:

@timothydeblock I don’t even want to know what’s going on….

— Kevin Goldstein (@Kevin_Goldstein) February 19, 2013

Which eventually lead to this conversation:

@timothydeblock @kevin_goldstein I'm surprised tim hasn't made one of @fastballs yet

— Brooks Parker (@Subber10) February 19, 2013

@subber10 @kevin_goldstein Go Google images @fastballs he's like a ghost

— Timothy De Block (@TimothyDeBlock) February 19, 2013

@timothydeblock @subber10 @kevin_goldstein There are far more "images I've made" than "images of me".

— Mike Fast (@fastballs) February 19, 2013

@fastballs @subber10 @kevin_goldstein Yup, two of the first eight are pitch F/X graphs.

— Timothy De Block (@TimothyDeBlock) February 19, 2013

@timothydeblock @fastballs @subber10 Just put a beard on that.

— Kevin Goldstein (@Kevin_Goldstein) February 19, 2013

Done:

@timothydeblock BEARDf/x

— Mike Fast (@fastballs) February 19, 2013

And that ladies and gentlemen is why if you're not on Twitter you should be.
