At this year's annual Barbershop Quartet Race 'n Hum event, brothers Gerald and Simon Ramsbottom placed second and third, respectively, in the Snidely Whiplash Lookalike Contest.

Man, this photo is just begging for a caption contest!

Or...

Ahh, so that's what a mustache ride looks like!

Or even...

Due to growing safety concerns, at this year's Isle of Man they changed the Senior Sidecar Race to the engine-off, "Graybeard Push 'n Coast" event.

I'm done. Well, maybe just one more...

Aerodynamic testing of the patent-pending, "Follicular Face Fairing" was going swimmingly for Nigel and his monkey.

You do know that the "Atchinson, Topeka, SantaFe, Monon and B&O" was one of the best pre-computer doctored photos of all time? (IMO)

The 20 cylinder never existed except in the minds of hoaxters.  If you ever saw him (Russ Collins) on the triple you'd know he'd never reach the bars on the quint.

I have an original of this shot tucked away somewhere.  My father gave it to me.  Yes, it's a fake, but an original fake.  ;)
