YES. YES YES YES.

I love this.

You gotta love the Partial Beard, the 'Imperial'.

If it weren't so much work to maintain, I'd do something like that. I love those guys, but the London Bridge or whatever it was is pushing it (we actually watched some of it on tv).

Think of all the food/liquid you could store in one of those things.  Les Stroud could make it anyplace for 7 days without that fancy combination tool.

London Bridge (connects the City of London and Southwark)

Tower Bridge (connects the Tower of London and Bermondsley)

You lose at Bridge identification.

In fairness that's the third London Bridge, I believe the second one was sold to an American who thought it was Tower Bridge and is now in a US desert somewhere. In fact have just read the Wiki and it's in Arizona (though the guy that bought it denies he thought it was Tower Bridge).

Methinks this thread was discussing Mustaches, and London bridge is a type of one of those...

So both of you lose.

No, it is quite relevant. It is not a "type" of mustache. It was a crazy ass sculpted beard/stache that was in the shape of Tower Bridge.

Being I didn't see the show, I was hoping for pictures of the mustaches, and I still have no idea which bridge it was and have yet to see the mustache.

I suck at bridge identification too, but I certainly know neither of those pictures was of a mustache.

Seems like the US, UK, and Germany are the beard superpowers of the world.  Every now and then you'd see a Sweden or Switzerland, but mostly those three.  Germany had a particularly strong showing sweeping a few categories by themselves.  I don't know why I feel this way, but I'm kind of pissed that we got shut out of those events.

Don't kid yourself, India and the surrounding areas are the beard super powers of the world, but they're too busy taking IT calls to be bothered with some "contest" for people who live in the 20s.
