Well, the month is over, and although the turnout started out good, the fails didn’t seem to stop. It began with a dream, a dream that one day we could all look back on these pictures, not unlike a moustachioed picture of your father, and be proud, proclaiming, “That is when I had a moustache.” But it seems that integrity and dignity are no longer valued in this day and age. I myself was technically disqualified by myself. It seems that one man, with brawn and might, battled through from 1st to 31st unashamed and usurped his place as grand champion and honorary “Brash Moustache”. My regards to Dirk Manley in his unequivocal position as #1. Runners up included Berman McBurly, Methusela Jones, and I - Rick Royce. Unfortunately I have no thanks for those that did not make it. You have besmirched yourself and your family. Tally HO!

On Saturday I enjoyed a few Corona’s, a half-dozen authentic tacos (the little ones with the onion and cilantro) and watched The Matador. The film’s two main characters Julian (Pierce Bronsan) and Danny (Greg Kinnear) both sport moustaches through most of the movie. Hit the jump for the review.

Formerly New Zealand’s fourth most popular comedy folk duo Flight of the Conchords are truly ladies’ men. The duo of Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie aren’t afraid to get naked and oiled up, pour some brandy and light a cigar while laying down by the fire… presumably while they wait for hot women to join them.

Check out Jemaine’s sweet moustache in the music video for “Ladies of the World” and check out their TV show or their new album. Both are pretty flippin’ awesome.

Music, it is something we all have in common. Moustaches, its something we don’t all have in common. When you put the two together, an image is burned into the mind, the power of the musician and the power of the moustache together is maximum power. I’m sure we could all think of 10 or more musicians with moustaches, but we here at Brash Stache are only able to honor the best of the best. Hit the JUMP! (Van Halen)

News flash, hearts broken all down the west coast, the perpetrator? Witnesses say he goes by the name of Bucky Jones. Should be considered armed and dangerous. Last seen with a switchblade comb in his blue 1970 Mercury Cougar. Sports a leather jacket and a slick moustache. Click Jump…

Listen up contenders… as fate would have it, this item just crossed my path. I hereby decree that the winner of the 2008 Brash Moustache contest will have an addition prize of said t-shirt (pictured below). So start doing manly things to try and get that moustache going, because the stakes have just been raised.

Update: Alternatively, we design our own shirt to give to the winner. Only time will tell. Either way, its gonna be a bitchin’ shirt for the winner.

There are no losers here. Every one of these gents should be both feared and respected for what they bring to the mankind. From sports of all kind, we have gathered the best moustaches ever to participate in the world of sports.

Do you have any guesses? I’m sure you do. Hit the jump to see the list.

Poker, it is one of the greatest games played by moustached men everywhere. Having a moustache while playing poker can help disguise your next move during the game, distract non-moustached people of our sheer awesomeness of our ’stashes, and it also appeals to the ladies

While playing poker at one of the greatest tournaments in the world: The Moustache Poker Finals. I finally was dealt the greatest hand, the royal flush. But when looking closer at my cards, I noticed that one of the cards looked kinda odd. One of the kings in the suites is a traitor to the moustache world, the King of Hearts… HE DOES NOT HAVE A MOUSTASHE!

I thought maybe that this have been a mistake, a misprint, or a worn card. I went though other decks I had around the house, and they all have the same thing. What kind of mockery is this?!? Am I delusional?!! This must be some kind of conspiracy by the Anti-Moustashe League? Did the card companies go into association with the straight razor companies? We need to investigate further to find out the bottom of this conundrum.

What do you quys think is the cause of these shenanigans?

First and foremost Emiliano Zapata. This guy was a force to be reckoned with. No need to go into the history here, but this guy was hardcore. Bandit or revolutionary? His name lives on!

Danny Trejo is a man and a moustache of true honor. This man overcame a troubled street life of drugs and prison sentences, to portraying a troubled street life of drugs and prison sentences as a Hollywood actor. I best remember his role as Johhny 23 in Con Air, man was he brutal. A great humanitarian off screen, but man is this guy scary on film! Keep representing the stache, hermano!

Richard Anthony Marin also known as “Cheech Marin” is one of the best examples of a Mexican American rocking the stache like its going outta style. The brashness of his stache knows no bounds. Best known for his role in the Cheech and Chong movies which included many comedic albums and soundtracks, he has continued to make a career for himself starring in feature films, television (Lost, apparently a good show?), and video games (GTA: San Andreas!). This guy also won celebrity Jeopardy! We salute you Cheech, and your moustache. Que Bueno!

ZORRO! ZORRO!

ohh, and Frida Kahlo gets and honorable mention. That lady had a stache for sure, not a very solid one, but she represented regardless!

The event has started, get your tonics out! I am not sure of the exact number of all the contestants, but it seems that there is a good turnout. Terry has informed me that he has recruited friends of his to join in the competition, possible numbering 3-5. That I know of, the contenders are:

Chester Hardstock
Berman McBurly
Terry Nash
Rick Royce
Methuselah Jones
Dirk Manley
Bucky Jones
Rodney Holiday

I’m hoping more people join the event. You are welcome to join at any time, if anything, that gives us a head start. Good Luck to all. Send your pictures in if you got em.
