Beer and Beards: Almost Homophones!

When James de Brueys told his friends at LSU that he wanted to fly to Anchorage, Alaska to participate in the World Beard and Moustache Championships next May, they probably said: “James, you’re only a junior in college with arguably puny facial hair and you don’t stand much of a chance against the giant, grizzly-like men that participate in this thing.” But one drunken friend probably said, “Yeah, dude…You should totally do thaghzzzzx (garbled) No doubt…Go for it, Jamesy, Gooooo (Puke sounds).”
James clearly listened to the drunky, and that’s why he’ll represent the good old US of A in the championships next spring. The LSU Reveille explains that the other competitors will be heading to Alaska from countries all over the world, “all of which have many beard clubs.”
De Brueys isn’t sure what exactly will go down at the events. He says, ““Evidently there will be a beard parade [for the competitors]…But we will also drink beer and eat bratwurst by a mine shaft.” Yikes! That sounds dangerous. De Brueys has seven months to grow a stellar competitor on his face; let’s hope he represents the US proudly. The Reveille adds: “People interested are encouraged to e-mail the self-appointed team captain, Phil Olsen. There is no fee, no application process or acceptance process.” It’s that easy!
