Voters should post pics of themselves with the style of choice. Wearing it shows more commitment than just voting. (don't have the pic at work and I don't have the viking helmet to go with it, but back in the day...)

The Fu Manchu is not as pictured. What is pictured is really a horseshoe beard. A Fu Manchu is pretty much a mustache with long hanging (non connected) edges.

Except I can't grow anything but a goatee, otherwise I would. It drives me nuts too, cause I'd totally rock the full viking beard

Where does "my facial hair refuses to grow in evenly and form a cohesive beard" come from?

Thank you for saying that, as I was about to. That's a horseshoe. Also, why would the Fu Manchu be paired with Great Britain!? Sheesh.

This is what I think of when I think "British facial hair":

Because, while the Fu Manchu is based of of an Evil mastermind of asian decent (Dr. FuManchu), that character was created by British Author Sax Rohmer. Thus the Fu Manchu is a British creation.
