Honoring the 'stache

I think my current town lacks quality facial hair. My co-workers last year were admirably devoted to cultivating the perfect 'stache. (Occasionally more devoted to that than actual work.) I was nostalgically flipping through pictures, and thought, this facial hair is worth sharing.


Faces have been cropped to protect the not-so-innocent.

These men are shining examples of years and years of higher education alongside a bit of historical inspiration:




Colonel Sanders


Sean Connery

Burt Reynolds




Howard Taft. The last Pres with facial hair!


Anyone who pulls a rabbit out of a hat.
Also, in my moustache research, I learned from AskMen.com that the top 10 moustache-wearing countries are:
10. Bulgaria
9. Hungary
8. United States
7. Turkey
6. Egypt
5. Iran
4. Germany
3. Pakistan
2. Mexico
1. India
Some more fabulous facial hair:
Jamie Hyneman of Mythbusters 

Kaiser Wilhelm II

Walter Cronkite

Rollie Fingers

    This is hilarious. My favorite comparison is to the Lego man.

    LOL! I, too, have a fondness for facial hair. I think naked burt reynolds was a step too far though. Having trouble scrubbing that one from my brain...
