Hirsute marines compete for glory

The Royal Marines have found a novel way to keep a stiff upper lip while fighting the Taleban in Helmand Province this Christmas - by holding a "moustache contest".

The marines of 40 Commando are vying to see who can grow the most outrageous piece of face furniture in a competition that will be judged by a panel of their peers on Boxing Day.


This is just one of those Christmas "..and finally" stories that's on the BBC News website, but I love the idea of the SGA marines on Atlantis having a moustache competition. Hah! :)

Some of those moustaches are thoroughly admirable! Wow. And yes, Atlantis would be very amusing if all the marines suddenly started sporting bizarre facial hair. *g*

They are rather impressive, aren't they. I wonder who won the competition :)
