Brett's mustache, the heart and soul of his "Octobeard," died last week after a 36-day STINT. The 'Stache, as he was known to his friends, was instrumental in bringing together the greatest ensemble of facial hair the autumn season had ever seen, from the beard to the sideburns and goatee . His warmth toward his neighbors, most notably Brett's upper lip, endeared him to everybody and earned him the reputation of a protector, especially from the cold, Parisian winds and attractive women.

"He made me look cool," said Brett Williams, who admitted he was skeptical at first about rocking the 'Stache. "For a brief moment in time, he made me look Parisian, and I'll never forget that."

The memorial service was held this past Tuesday at Notre Dame Cathedral here in Paris. Many celebrities (including Tom Selleck, John Stossel, and Burt Reynolds) were in attendance to pay their final respects. A teary-eyed Yosemite Sam gave a touching eulogy in which he said, "The 'Stache gave us hope through this cultural struggle. He made us believe in the resiliency of the soul to carry on a proud vestige of style and chivalry."

Brett read a few scriptures from the Bible and spoke of the good times, like when the mustache saved some soup from dinner for him to enjoy later. Or how it tickled him when he sneezed.

"I know I could grow another mustache, but it just wouldn't be the same," he said.

It's safe to say, no matter how many are grown, the world will never be the same.
