A buddy of mine, Greg Anderson, is a helluva photographer. He has done calendars, books, etc featuring beards/mustaches and has gained some fame in the niche. [Some examples of his work, from a recent contest in New Orleans.](http://www.visualnews.com/2013/09/26/ridiculous-portraits-national-beard-mustache-championships-greg-anderson/) ---

Much as I admire Groucho, having a painted-on mustache rules you out of the Mount Rushmore/Hall of Fame of mustaches. On the other hand, [Andrew Volstead](http://www.old-picture.com/american-legacy/005/pictures/Honorable-Volstead-Andrew-002.jpg) (author of the Volstead Act (Prohibition)) deserves consideration. How that guy ever ate an ice cream cone defies the imagination. There is also a parade of Civil War officers who could contend for the honor.\* And of course, me. 🙂 \*for instance, [George Armstrong Custer](http://www.sonofthesouth.net/union-generals/custer/pictures/custer-photo.jpg). ---

[Robin Olds](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Robin_Olds_completes_100th_combat_mission_over_North_Vietnam.JPG), USAF Triple Ace who flew in World War II and Korea, and is probably more famous for his glorious (entirely out of regs) waxed handlebar mustache than he is for being the mastermind behind Operation Bolo, one of the biggest USAF victories of the Vietnam War. The kicker is, he evidently didn’t even like the mustache. He just grew it and kept it because it amused the men who served under him in Vietnam. ---

Terry Jones. (Who??? Oh, [Terry Jones](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Jones_%28pastor%29)! Pastor of Dove World Outreach in Florida, famous :dubious: for promoting mass Koran burnings.)
