beard & mustache champs

Beard Team USA competes for the United States at the biennial World Beard and Moustache Championships. In doing so, the primary goal is to promote the worldwide appreciation of beards and mustaches.

Why should you care you ask?

[english accent]To my fellow Beard and Mustache Gentleman: It is with great honor I would like to announce that The 2009 World Beard & Mustache Championships are to be held in Alaska. [end english accent]

this is awesome for so many reasons.

check these out:

For 2007 I rocked a beard. But I may have to groom a better mustache beard combo so I can compete in the 2011 competitions (I’m not yet ready for 2009). I am currently looking for a good coach and manager to assist in strategy and conditioning. It will be grueling training, but i must represent my country.

So if you are, or know of any top notch, aggressive, and dedicated beard & mustache aficionados willing to take on a coaching role, let me know.

That is amazing that there is even a competition for this. Although, it would be really cool to see all the distinct and random beards.

Matt dont look past Alaska 2009, many first time competetors found they had the first rate whiskers to run with the big dogs or what to prep for in the next big show! Good luck and we'll leave the light on for you all in Alaska-Home of the midnight sun where summer is a four month long party 24 hours a day.

yeah, these pics are awesome. Time magazine even did a photo essay on the event. it rocked as well.

I dont know if I have the strength to go through with it all. It would probably mean no kisses from stephanie for a long time.

Im willing to bet these guys are single. I cant think any woman would seriously be able to kiss these men and not laugh.

Those pictures are stilllll making me laugh.

When I grew out my hair in college, I did the spike thing - the secret is elmers glue. it's awesome at hair-stiffening, not to mention it tastes great (ok that was a joke).... but seriously. It's soo good, you can bend it, and it literally *twangs* back into place.

AWESOME.... since I have to shave everyday for my job - I will live vicariously through you. It's too bad because when I'm on leave I find that i can grow a pretty good one...

I vote for the "chin-hawk".... compliment that with it's matching mohawk on top, and you could have an awesome look. Since i have been cutting my own hair for the last 5 years, I vote myself "Groomer".

Other than that, you could grow the whole thing, and we'll turn it into a birds nest. accented with a couple robin's eggs, twigs, etc... could be good.

If baseball players get DQ'd for steroids, would hair-extensions be deemed unethical?
