The internets never fail to surprise and entertain me. This morning I stumbled across the lovely site of the World Beard and Moustache Championships, and I already can't imagine what life was like without it. (All I see is bleak, unhappy darkness. It's not pretty.) There's a gallery of some of the entrants in this year's competition, and, whew, they are lookin' mighty fine.
