World Beard and Mustache Championships - Follow-up
News is slow getting back to the US from the World Beard and Mustache Championship, which were held October 1 in Berlin.
It seems that the German hometown favorites won in 14 of 17 overall categories, but I'm having difficulty getting names of the winners, other than Elmar Weisser, winner of the freestyle competition, who fashioned his beard in the style of Brandenburg Gate. There's little news of reigning champion Karl-Heinz Hille, for example. And Phil Olsen hasn't yet updated the Team America blog.
But I did learn that there's a documentary of the 2003 competition in Carson City, Nevada, called "Harmony of Curves." If you think that's not going on my Netflix list immediately, you're out of your mind. Shit. Netflix doesn't carry it. Foiled again, dammit.
In case you don't read the links in their entirety, I'd like to share one point of interest. Germany has fifteen beard clubs.

Translation; Germans have WAAAAY too much free time on their hands.
To their credit, this is a healthy way of spending their free time. After all, when the Germans end up with too much free time, generally speaking, bad things happen.
I could not love this more.
