In the Beginning....Man....

...was hairy. After a while, we lost much of our hair as our bodies evolved, climates changed, and the advent of personal hygiene took over.

It is with pride that the Nelvana Sports League introduces our Newest sport.

"MUSTACHE GROWING"! Dedicated to reclaiming Mankind's lost "roots". ;)

The Prize.
MONEY.
The participants, all eighteen of them, must grow and KEEP a decent, prominent mustache on their faces. The WINNER is, in a nutshell, decided by the ONE whose mustache OUTLASTS the others. Like a Survivor meets, uh.... Facial Hair Wars.

Arguably a terrible looking mustache will not last long in society and the social pressure to shave will 'convince' the face in question to remove the offending hair. But there are so many other variables:

Women,
Smirks from little children,
Girlfriends,
Male friends making fun of the facial hair,
Wives,
Dogs barking at one's face, thinking it is being attacked by some strange enemy,
Did I mention that many Women seem to find facial hair uncomfortable to look at and touch? (BE STRONG! RESISTANCE is NOT Futile!!!)

(may the other admins post up the official rules and the participant roster)

Here is the WEEK 1 results with hair growing a plenty.
Who will survive. And, more importantly, whose mustache is whose?
Feel free to leave comments on whose got the better 'stache, who you think will win, will go out first, etc. Let me or any of the blog admins know if you have other mustache pictures to contribute.
