He looks like one of the reddit council of elders.

[–]effingcharcoal 15 points16 points ago

The truth behind every redditors addiction to cats.

Putting neckbeards to shame.

[–]Jeroknite 11 points12 points ago

"What does the Kitten-born do after he's called by the Neckbeards? Can the Upvote be taught, like any skill?"

He is one of the old gods.

[–]Skizot_Bizot 1 point2 points ago

He is known as Catbeard.

With a beard so amazing it actually produces cats at a rate of 1 every 15 minutes.

[–]Teahes 25 points26 points ago

[–]Bow2TheBeard 6 points7 points ago

I would definitely say this.

He likes cats, so clearly he belongs here with us.

There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, 'It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen, Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!

[–]J-j-O[S] 9 points10 points ago

I like to think, he uses his magnificent beard, to smuggle kitties out of harms way.

[–]Roxxer 2 points3 points ago

Or perhaps his beard acts as an amoeba and traps small animals for nutrition.

[–]mboro19 1 point2 points ago

I like to imagine my reddit jesus saving cats found astray too close to chinease restaurants, by stowing them away in his wisdom beard

Cats evolved from beards like this.

[–]Spongyrocks -1 points0 points ago

Poor cat... o_o

[–]Mrsixxx -1 points0 points ago

You leave old kitty beard Alone, all he wants to do is live in seclusion so he can hide his strange curse of animals growing in with his hair.

[–]Mugatu725 1 point2 points ago

He looks like Blue from "Old School" just with a massive beard

[–]lia_sang 1 point2 points ago

Amazingly enough, there's still plenty here to fap to.

[–]RzK 0 points1 point ago

Thats Catbeard... No one knows of him, because no one speaks of him.. not even Catbeard speaks of Catbeard

[–]gkiltz 0 points1 point ago

Why say anything. Some pictures for better or worse speak for themselves.

That cat has seen some shit that it would rather not have seen.

[–]jazzrz 0 points1 point ago

He challenged his beard, and the beard won.

[–]sleepyhead1975 0 points1 point ago

At least he likes animals?

My beard grows down to my toes,

I never wears no clothes,

I wraps my hair

Around my bare,

[–]JeremyJustin -3 points-2 points ago

My hair is five feet long and I wrap it around my neck too. It's a fashionable scarf, and yes, I can attest to its cat-attracting powers.

Screw you, I'm not WTF.

[–]BadAim 0 points1 point ago

Comments are inadequate in description or praise to the level this man has achieved. This is the final form a true redditor dreams to achieve. It is significantly past 9000. Significantly.

I do believe we've found reddit's new mascot.

[–]georgeo 0 points1 point ago

Think I saw him on the F train.

[–]Perryn 0 points1 point ago

This is Jonathan Skortworthy, a cat prospector from the late 1800's. The rich vein of cats that he discovered in the Catskill Mountains (previously known as the Dulbert Mountains) provided the cats needed to accelerate America's rapid recovery after the Civil War. The vein was thought to be depleted in 1919, and the resulting cat shortage was actually one of the secondary causes of Prohibition. In the 1960's, researchers used advanced (for the time) computer technology to better survey the region, and discovered that the vein was not depleted, but extended far deeper than previously suspected. This catmine was successfully opened thanks in large part to legislation introduced by Al Gore and is the foundation of the Internet we now have today.

[–]EyesWideShutTonight 0 points1 point ago

His tombstone says "He hugged all the Cats."

[–]motherofamouse 0 points1 point ago

He kind of looks like my old neighbor. That guy was a sailor/pirate and he loves cats. Great dude. Pretty cool neighbor to have.

[–]Drtumorface 0 points1 point ago

That cat has seen some shit in there

[–]Enlightnd 0 points1 point ago

The question is, did he put a cat in his beard, or did the natural wildlife in there attract the cat to take his beard as it's habitat?
