Givin' up being attractive an' growin' me an IMPERIAL!

World Beard and Mustache Championships 2007



The "Partial Beard: Imperial" is my favourite, followed by the "Full Beard: Verdi." Bonus weirdness points to the "Sideburns Freestyle" participants.

*dies laughing*

*hugs Ali*

The Imperial is awesome. I like the Partial Beard - Chinese, myself. And some of the moustaches.

Oh, God, I just got to the freestyle sideburns.

*shakes with laughter*

I don't do a mating dance, darlingest. I just post about people who deliberately make themselves look funny.

P.S. Make sure you check out Gunther Krauss - 3rd place, Mustache Freestyle. You can't really see his contribution in the thumbnail.

[Jebus]

I take back everything I ever said about moustaches being not cool.

[Rei]

I notice the Germans do exceedingly well in these.

[zeroguy]

Sideburns freestyle. Especially 3rd place.

[Noodle]

This reminded me of an entire section called "Beard Manual" which features such beards as the "Starchops, The Contintenal Merlin, Hashburns, The Van Catfish, The Startled Satan and the Flaxen Neck." In the fantastically funny book "The Areas of My Expertise" by John Hodgman.

It also included a related chapter devoted to "History's Worst Men's Haircuts"

If you haven't read that book I highly recommend that you stop reading this post and go get it.

You know, I REALLY like the Dali. The more I look at it, the cuter I find it.

Mustache stroke...classic. I love some of the treatments for it.


Edit:
Just awesome. I am getting awkward looks for my co-workers because I am visiable giggling at my desk.

[Janus%TheDoorman]

The expressions of all the Mustache: Dali contestants are priceless.

Bumping an old thread to mention that I'm currently participating in http://momonth.com's celebration of International Moustache Month. I shaved all facial hair on Feb 1 and haven't shaved since. I'll proceed to shave all but the 'stache on the 29th. I'll post pictures then, if I remember.

I'm the hairiest I've ever been, and I think I like it....

[Jayelle]

What does your wife think of this, Noodle?

[Noodle]

At first she was mortified. I didn't tell her I was doing it until after I shaved my Van Dyke. She wasn't happy.... But I wanted it to be a surprise! (February is a short month after all!)

Now that I have a full beard she says she likes the beard, but wants me to go back to normal again. I'm interested in what she'll think of just a mustache. (Another first for me)

I'm trying to decide if I should keep just the 'stache until Cinco de Mustache. Doing this would allow me to celebrate Mustache March

I want an Imperial, but I don't think Jayelle would let me. She keeps me on a tight leash.

Wow, this makes me miss my beard. I had a full beard for a few months- made me look like chuck norris. Sadly, my job in a warehouse ended, and I had to shave it off. My girlfriend was glad to see it go, but gosh I miss it. Somewhere there's a picture of me with it shaved into a General (where you have a mustache and two lines of hair going down the sides. It's very white trash, i thought it was hilarious.

[eriador]

Find that picture! I wanna see it!

[Noodle]

Two more days with my beard....

But then March Mustache Madness begins and I change my facial hair configuration yet again!

[eriador]

So... A short story that seems appropriate to this thread: I'm on a week long trip, and I consciously decided not to bring a razor. Part of it was because I want to see just how thick my facial hair grows in, but the other part is that I wanna intimidate guys on the lacrosse field.

Anyway... the point of the story is that it itches like all hell. f*** me it's annoying!

[Wil]

I dunno.. it never really bothered me. My facial hair was pretty long a little bit ago... at least two inches worth of growth. I've shaved it all down multiple times and I've never had a problem with it itching. It's pretty short now; I decided to shave it back down about a week ago.

I'm bumping this in the interests of Movember. I couldn't talk Rei into participating, and to be honest I'm not sure his dad could ( ). Are any of our pweb guys participating? How's it coming? Will you do something amusing with it at the end of the month before shaving, and post pictures, prettyplease?

[Syphon the Sun]

Psssh, everyone knows that March is for mustaches (Mustache March!) and November is for beards (No Shave November).

[Eaquae Legit]

I'm okay with beards this month, as long as I get humorous photos at the end.

[steph]

Brian was participating, but then he got selected to interview for Supervisor at work so he shaved to give a better impression to the interview board.

"Couldn't talk" me into it? I don't even remember you trying!

That said, no, you probably couldn't have anyway.

[Dr. Mobius]

Someone should bump this thread the last week of January so I'll remember to do it. It's a tad late to be starting on the November edition and I'd rather not look any more like Sasquatch than I already do during the holidays.

March is for mustaches

March is for Madness, actually. Mustaches can play second fiddle if they want.

He's actually pretty good-looking with a beard or beard/moustache combo. But then, I'm biased, I guess.

Exactly. The bearded lady look just isn't my style.

[Eaquae Legit]

I did briefly mention it but your tone made it sound like it would be useless to try any further. So I didn't. Although you shoulda grown one just to bug your dad.

[Dr. Mobius]

Ok, now someone has to remember to bump this in late January so I can badger Brent into doing it with me. Ali, you up to the task?

[Rei]

I'm missing why January... Unless you mean to grow it all year to be ready for November...

[steph]

The guy in this video? The one with the beard? The green beard?

Yeah, that's one of my best friends from growing up. I'm not sure whether to be ashamed or proud. I mean, who grows something like that JUST to sport on the most important day of their academic career? I think that takes some balls.

[Rei]

Wow... That is an impressively green beard.
