Whisker Wars



??? I wonder if we'll see our very own [livejournal.com profile] pink_halen  or others visiting the Norwegian championships?

This is a little like Bearforce for me, like the attention, hot bearded men = WIN. But not too sure of the context or production - the whooping reality freakshow style and GO USA! GO USA! AMERICA -FUCK YEAH! type flag waving is less great...

Irony is: they didn't beat the Germans according to the WBMC website, it was 7 golds to 6. Might be schadenfreude or just English dislike of being too confident, but strangely after that over-confident video it makes me happy.

Maybe we can go back to genteel bearded and moustached men in their parlors and smoking jackets, talking about the points of the day and stroking their beards while smoking a nice pipe or cheroot? And being above such things, cos it's 'not cricket, m'dear?'*


* Welcome to Tim's Fantasy Victorian/Edwardian Beard World! Please drive safely! Probably cos I just bought some OG victorian clothing, oh yes...be very scared.

I couldn't get through it. I don't care how great looking any of them are. I immediately wanted to take a lighter to their stupid, competitive beards.
I am hoping it is a pisstake when the bloke says he wants the US to be the world superpower in the 'sport'. But, as there is a smidgeon of a chance it is not I just stopped watching. Can people not make everything into a fucking competitive sport. 'Bearding' ??? Twat!
I agree about the need for gentlemen and good behaviour. None of this shouting and bellowing nonsense.
They need to learn how to behave.

Yours truly [livejournal.com profile] pink_halen is writing form Norway. The contest was amazing. I'll post pictures later today. I stay out of the politics. There are plenty of Politics to get wrapped up in. It's just great to see all the lovely bearded men. Some of the reporters are nice as well.
