If you come to the FM Bike Party May 31st with a genuine* mustache, you will get half off of your entry fee.

Can you grow a mustache out of that baby face in 12 days? Can you modify your boring beard into a beautiful 'stache? Can you flip that flavor saver upside down?

Prizes for the best 'stache!

*Ladies with mustaches (genuine or not) will also get the half-off discount.

well, after winning the

well, after winning the 'cinco de mustache' contest at Aces bar in Kirkwood, I recently shaved. So if anyone needs some genuine mustache hair, I can provide.

Gotta say

FM is on the forefront of gender issues too, despite my constant efforts at tasteless jokes.

Mustache Progress and definition of a true mustache

I accidentally posted a question - "how is everyone's mustache coming?" in the wrong thread so lets resume that discussion here.

Also, I have heard conflicting opinions about what defines or constitutes a mustache. I think we can all agree a full beard is not a mustache, and I am pretty sure if you don't have lip hair you don't have a mustache, but it gets fuzzy in between. I for one have seen some very nice mustaches with little soul-patch friends, but some people say "no islands". I think we should bring this to the message boards to set the standard, before Saturday. What do y'all think?

Would anybody

Would anybody in their right mind tell Frank Zappa he didn't have a mustache?

agreed

as long as the upper lip is what draws the eyes. it can't be hidden or camouflaged by surrounding hair.

that being said: I'm still no sure if I'll have the balls to bring the razor to the face on Saturday and shave my beard off.

Long time gone

In the mists of time, yours truly sported a top shelf 'stach. These days, I am retired from competition.

Stache party

Anybody interested in getting together for moral support while we carve out our staches? I said I was gonna do it. And I'm gonna be on stage in front of you all for an hour!

kurt's picture

i think Greg

I think Greg is on the lookout for a moral support group. I heard he was on the fence.

I'll do it

despite having to look like a 15 year old upon shaving it all off afterwards, I'll do it (if only to see what I would look like with it). Depending on my mood, I may shave a little early and let my smooth cheeks feel the breeze at mass.

kurt's picture

thats my plan!

Mustache at Mass!

had we planned ahead

It is done

I'm going to wait to unveil it at CM. I'll put up pictures tonight.

My chin is cold.

kurt's picture

It feels good

I have a new sense of confidence about me. A "joie de vivre".

I'm beginning to wonder . . .

after having my mustache for ~5 hours now, I'm beginning to fear that this will be me come Sunday.

pwnela's picture

just be sure

to show your mustache the time of its life before it is gone.
