I’m looking forward to puberty

This one comes by way of the Freakonomics Blog: Beard Team USA.
“Beard Team USA competes for the United States at the biennial World Beard and Moustache Championships. Our primary goal is to promote the worldwide appreciation of beards and moustaches. Other goals include making the United States competitive in the WBMC, promoting and publicizing the WBMC, and facilitating the attendance of members and others at the championships.”
Famously, I’m unable to grow a proper mustache, much less a beard. But even I can get behind the goal of “making the United States competitive” in facial hair cultivation.
As worthy of your click as anything I’ve ever posted is the gallery of contestant and champions you’re likely to see at the WBMC. I’m also rather fascinated by the inevitable Beard Team USA Blog.
