What do Freida Callo, the Walrus species, Alex Trebeck (back in 2005 when he was keeping it real), the monopoly guy, Yosemite Sam, Carl Weathers, Ron Burgundy, and Dr. Kwan all have in common? Mustaches baby!!!

To celebrate the ‘stache and get everyone pumped for next Friday’s ‘Stache Bash TCI, the TUSM school newspaper, http://blogs.uit.tufts.edu/theconnectiveissue/
is having a writing contest.

Who - all TUSM students

What - write a short, >100 word, funny essay on the greatest mustache of all time and include a picture (see example below) and email it by November 10th to:
Dean.Schraufnagel@tufts.edu or jorge.rodriguez.barrios@gmail.com

We will post it on the TCI website for all your classmates to see and vote for the best entry.

Why - On Thursday November 11th all TUSM students will vote for their favorite entry, and the winning entry will get a $50 gift certificate to Upper Crust Pizza. Go to the TCI website, http://blogs.uit.tufts.edu/theconnectiveissue/

ALSO - Don’t forget to go to the ‘Stache Bash November 12th and sign up for the Live Mustache Competition in the OEA.

Example:

Chester Alan Arthur

Not only does Chester Alan Arthur, the 21st president of the United States of America, have the greatest mustache of all time - he also has the greatest first name of any U.S. President (although Milard and Barack are close second and third).

In fact, I predict for 2011 both the first name Chester, and mutton chop mustaches will both come back into style because of this brave, patriotic, god of facial hair.
