Can your hormones produce hair follicles of genuine style? Has your chin got sprouts that show what a bad ass you are? Does your significant other complain about scritchy kisses during your snuggle time?
Then you just might be man enough to compete in the
World Beard and Mustache Championships
Every two years, the owners of the world's most elaborate facial hair come together for the World Beard and Mustache Championships. On May 23, 2009, the championships will return to the United States for the second time in their history, as the City of Anchorage, Alaska plays host to the world's bearded and mustached elite.
At the last WBMC held in Brighton, England, on September 1, 2007, there were 252 hirsute competitors who competed in seventeen separate categories. London's famous Handlebar Club pulled out all of the stops to make the event a huge success. Upstart Beard Team USA mounted a serious challenge to the always dominant Germans, taking first in five categories.
What are the categories? They are:
Mustaches
Natural
English
Wild West
Dali
Imperial
Freestyle
Partial Beards

Musketeer
Fu Manchu
Imperial
Alaskan Whaler
Sideburns
Freestyle
Full Beards

it is not manly
a grizzly adams beard that you can get lost in is manly
if you can hit someone with it and they lose consciousness/become entangled for eternity then extra points
only the freestyle! Gaze upon this majestic beast
Where does it end, where does it become hat? Science has yet to penetrate the secret!
or a mustache
this thread is of limited interest to me
Grown for Cinco de Mayo.
Shaved immediately after
Coran Attack!
what is the recommended amount?
this didn't work and Joolander mustache rides are like Tarot cards
you have to get them as a gift for it to work right
How about now?
If you can see that, I bet your super pissed you didn't come and play with me a couple months ago. I'd be giving mustache rides like it was my job
Coran Attack!
the dirtiest of Sanchezes
I shake my fist at your contest, whitey.
seriously, i feel bad for you dudes who can't grow beards.
except i bet you don't have to shave twice a day to be clean-shaven
hitting hot metal with hammers
it is way too much of a hassle to not have it
edit: mustaches are terrible ~99% of the time. like the fedora, it has been seized by ugly people with no fashion.
Also it grows in really slowly, I shave like once a week at most.
My dad couldn't grow a beard until he was at least 40, so I think I'm probably in the same boat.
