Walrus: A Name That's Almost As Iconic As Chaplin
Meet Walrus, the majestic mustachioed gent whose 'stache is almost as legendary as the one sported by Charlie Chaplin. Almost.
Legend has it that a drunken sailor on the high seas once tried to get a drink at a bar, but the bartender wouldn't serve him because he was too busy admiring the Walrus's majestic mustache. "You look like a walrus!" he said.
And so the name stuck.
Some say it's a name that's too on-the-nose, but we say: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
