Hearing Hour Glass -- Squeeze

Things I Will Never Do With My Facial Hair


Pictures from the 2006 Moustache Championships. There's a lot of passion and commitment here, but it's passion and commitment to and for facial hair. And I don't know if that's, you know, right. Also, I hear these guys hiss and run at the sight of a Schick. That may just be a rumor, though.

Personally, I don't think I could grow a moustache like any of those guys could. One, I don't think I'm physically capable of it. Two, I think Krissy would exercise the "domestic veto" long before I could make, say, windmills in my moustache. And she'd be right to do that.

    I love my hubby with a Moustache. I like the way it tickles when we kiss. My girls on the other hand don't like it but when he shaved it off for them they didn't know him and ran crying.

    OK, first, most of those aren't just moustaches, but moustache, beard, and in some cases, side burns. Call it the "facial hair championships" if your want. Moustache Championships is just darned inaccurate.
    And second, those guys really think they look cool. John, you may be a geek, but for those guys, I think we have to ressurect the long daed term, NERD.
