the most wonderful competition in the world

now pimpernel, you claim to be a mustache enthusiast ... and yet, i do not see you represented in ...

The World Beard & Moustache Championships 2007

nothing i love more then seeing grown men socializing over a mutual love of facial hair ... according to their site ... the goals of the organization are ...

• To promote good relationships between members of moustache and beard clubs throughout the world and to foster networks in the interests of friendship, conviviality and fun.
• To encourage and celebrate standards of excellence in the growth, design and presentation of facial hair.
• To raise the profile of beard and moustache clubs in order to attract new members and to bring to the general public a topic of interest and fun (put a smile on people’s faces).

and if all that didn't whet yer appetite to check out the site ... please have a look on my good friend Willi Chevalier, 1st place winner in this years Partial Beard Freestyle Competition ...



UPDATE

holy crap! is that the pimpernel at the Berliner Bartclub Competition in 2005 !?
