World Beard and Moustache Championships

World Beard and Moustache Championships

Get out the wax and comb out those crumbs, the World Beard and Moustache Championships takes place tomorrow in Berlin. Check it out, Beard Team USA has their own blog! Go USA! Too bad local favorite Steven Raspa won’t be able to make it this year.

Unlike the Olympics, with its highly-competitive qualifying tournaments, strict drug regulations, and gender testing, this competition is open to everyone willing to support his country. Well, at least everyone with a beard or moustache. In fact, it is almost unpatriotic not to grow a beard or moustache and enter the competition.

So, if I’m reading this correctly, they are saying that junkies and women are allowed to compete. If that’s the case, my vote is for the cracked-out, bearded lady from Moldova.
