Karl Heinz Hille (centre) won Overall Grand Champion, but it was a close shave

Hirsute contestants were fielded from 10 countries

Entrants competed in categories ranging from natural and freestyle...

There are strict competition rules defining types of beard and moustache

Germans have traditionally dominated the competition

They just like growing beards. Its less harmful than the American obsession with firearms.

What fun! You do realize, Monger, that these guys can wear their beards in a 'normal' fashion until show-time.....? I wonder if they do.

LOL! I like beards - but those have gone the way of body-builders vs people who like to be fit and healthy.

The fella in the last picture looks so warm and funny, though, that I don't mind his silly beard!

What I REALLY hate is big side-boards.

Humans' relationship with our hair is really funny.

I mean - what sort of weird animal is neither properly furry, nor properly furless?

And what about WHERE our fur is! How weird is that??? And - why do mins get furrier and furrier as they get older - 'cept for their heads, often, which is where they want the fur? And what IS with hairy ears? Some of the balding guys at work say they could cope with the baldness, if only all the hair didn't sneak into their ears....

Am I the only one on this site that has any powers of observation?
What the hell is wrong with you people? What am I talking about, you might ask. Take a close look at the attached photo...

Now do you understand? The guy in the front row, middle. Look familiar?

It's Monger! In disguise. He'll do anything to bring a story to A2K.

I say we all give him a rousing round of applause for his efforts.


p.s. I think the guy in the sunglasses, standing in front of Santa Claus, is Dys. Holy crap! I've never seen him with his hat off.

I say, steady on old boy. At least get the statistics right. We are not all "half nuts". A significant minority are as sane as you or I. The fact that a small majority are completely barking does not make us, overall, half nuts. More like 2/3.

Rabbit. Remember to remove wee wig before any Xmas nose rubbing. We don't want any (static) discharges.

I used to have a giant mustache. I had it curled on the ends. I knew it looked ridiculous and I was always twirling it in my fingers or chewing on it. It lasted 14 months before I shaved it off. Ah! Freedom!
