Here is Elmar Weisser, 47, who beat 160 other contestants to capture first prize in the World Beard and Moustache Championship in Trondheim, Norway. Yes, that is a moose on the right (don’t get any ideas, Brian Wilson). In what reads very much like the description of a Monty Python sketch, here’s a graph from the BBC story on Weisser’s winning entry:
In 2005 he won with with a beard styled into the shape of Berlin’s Brandenberg Gate, and in 2007 with a representation of London’s Tower Bridge.
His plans for his 2012 beard? A re-enactment of the Battle of
Pearl Harbor performed by the Batley Townswomen’s Guild.
My opinion on the winning entry? Could use some Just For Men.
