Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year
The American Mustache Institute (AMI) is searching for the 2009 "Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year." We will announce the winner at ‘Stache Bash 2009 featuring John Oates on Oct. 30 in St. Louis, an event benefitting Challenger Baseball.
Last year's winner was retired New York City police detective Tim Galvin, who had received three medals of valor and retiring as a captain after being shot twice - in the face and leg - while working undercover.
What qualifies someone for this honor? A candidate could be:
- Attorney General Eric Holder, the first mustached AG in more than 100 years.
- a furry lipped teacher who was an important influence;
- U.S. Airways pilot Sully Sullenberger;
- a neighbor with a cookie duster who's always been a generous volunteer;
- presidential adviser David Axelrod who helped usher Barrack Obama into the White House;
- Pitcher Clay Zavada of the Arizona Diamondbacks;
- Actors Brad Pitt or George Clooney for proudly donning and propogating the Mustached American lifestyle:
- a mustached fireman who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect others;
- The St. Louis Cardinals for growing team mustaches and to vault the team into first place for most of 2009;
- Or a brave member of the U.S. military defending our freedoms overseas.
AMI is now accepting submissions until Oct. 2. Then, beginning Oct. 5, online voters can choose from a group of finalists selected by AMI's certified mustacheologists. Voting will close Oct. 16, and the winner will be announced at AMI's 'Stache Bash 2009.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, before you make your submission, please enjoy this quick reminder of the wonder of Mr. Robert Goulet.
