Not to be all about moustaches, but did you know that the World Beard and Moustache Championships were recently held in in Leogang, Austria? Results will be published here. And just yesterday, the 2015 Just for Men® National Beard and Moustache Championships® presented by Hanes X-Temp® took place in Brooklyn, New York. Details here.
Also, the British Army required every soldier to have a mustache from in 1860-1916.
Lex is the Grand Prize Winner in our Sour Patch Kids Contest — when you see the entry, you’ll know why!
Hello. I swear I have no life. I just found Kitschy Kitschy Coo about 3 hours ago, saw your contest for the sour patch kids, realized that the contest ends in 2 days and that I have no time between now and then to send anything and haven’t gone shopping and…. anyway… this is what I did. It’s the great battle of the citizens of VeganVille versus the Maynards Sour Patch Kids. Please check out the official CNN coverage below.

And check out these exclusive pics from the battle.
Oh yeah, in case Maynards wants a new slogan (besides “Maynards: Crown your mouth”)- I came up with “Maynards: get chummy with the yummy gummy!”)
My name is Lex Kinast, I am 30 years old, I should probably grow up and I hail from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I really would like to win this, because I have never won anything before and because… I want the T-shirt.
My cat also wants for me to win the T-shirt so I will be as cool as she is:
For years the Sour Patch Kids have been wreaking havoc — now it’s time to stand up and demand justice in court: The People vs. Sour Patch Kids. …If you can call a Facebook court of human opinion “justice.” For that’s where you can show proof of how you have been harmed by the noxious Sour Patch Kids by uploading video and/or photographic evidence of how they’ve done you wrong.
You certainly won’t get any sympathy from the Sour Patch Kids’ lawyer. He says, “Some of you may feel the Sour Patch Kids have wronged you in some way. Good for you for having feelings.”
But maybe you’ll get lucky and bring the Kids to justice for their crimes. Who knows?
What we do know is that the makers of the the Sour Kids are sweet on Kitschy Kitschy Coo. They’ve given us t-shirts and candy to give away. Or maybe it’s just a bribe… Whatever. All you have to do to get your hands on some sweet Sour Patch Kids goodies is enter our giveaway. (What you do with the Kids once you get them is your business.)
How do you win?
It’s easy, just confess whose side you’re on, the Sour Patch Kids or their victims, and why.
Yup, it’s that easy.
I’ll pick my favorite response and dub that person The Grand Prize Winner; that one person will receive both a Sour Patch Kids tee and one bag of candy. My second favorite response will get a Sour Patch Kids tee. The third place winner will be randomly selected, the winner getting a bag of candy.

The cover of God In My Kitchen: Fifty-Two Thoughts For Homemakers, by Dorothy C. Haskin. (I’m giving one away in this contest! Or you can find it on Amazon
In the acknowledgements:
The kitchen shown on the cover was designed by Home Guide Inc., using General Electric appliances. We are indebted to these organizations for the picture.
Personally, I never got over that documentary we were shown in collage. Ever since then, whenever someone says “GE” or “General Electric,” I scream, “Babies born without skulls!” …I guess that’s one type of atomic kitchen.
I’ve got too much stuff. So I’m giving a lot of it away. Not only on Listia (my review here), but even right here, at Kitschy Kitschy Coo — starting with this kitschy vintage postcard.
On the back of this vintage postcard it reads, “Pan Am’s New 747. The plane with all the room in the world.” Which dates it to 1966 or so.
