Hall of fame for mustaches? Why not?

ST. LOUIS (AP) — There are halls of fame for everything from baseball to rock ‘n’ roll, so why shouldn’t those with a hairy upper lip get their just rewards?

The tongue-in-cheek American Mustache Institute says it will unveil its inaugural class for the International Mustache Hall of Fame on Feb. 11 — the birthday of Burt Reynolds.

The Mustache Hall of Fame will be a virtual-only effort initially, but AMI says it is searching for a physical location.

Nominations for the inaugural class are being accepted through Nov. 30 at MustacheHall.com.
