The biennial world beard and moustache championship takes place Nov. 1 in Carson City, Nevada. FYI. "Organizers hope for a large turnout of bearded and moustached Americans to compete against the dominant German team. Among the distinguished judges will be America’s top downhill ski racer Daron Rahlves, Nevada Supreme Court Chief Justice Deborah Agosti, Carson City Mayor Ray Masayko, and former Carson City resident Mark Twain."

so that's what mr. clemens has been up to.
