The Village People no longer care about your erection.
One year after my Movember teammates and I honored their song “Macho Man” in a video that recapped our month-long mustache growth, the 70s concept disco group has forced YouTube to take down the video.
Despite selling 85 million albums and becoming wealthy worldwide gay icons, the Village [...]
SCROLL DOWN TO VOTE.
Apologies to my best friend Blue for once again mentioning Movember (”Get over it, it’s done. If you mention Movember one more time I’m going to stop reading your blog.”), but the idea of people growing bodily humor for charity came up again over the weekend.
Cagey and The Princess had, at [...]
UPDATE: Someone found this blog post today by performing the following search:
Eleven days removed from Movember and the namesake of our mustache-growing/ass cancer-beating team — Alex Trebek — has had a heart attack.
The longtime host of Jeopardy! was admitted to an LA hospital on Monday night with a “minor” heart attack. I know [...]
If the journey of a thousand steps starts with just one, then the voyage of a mustache starts with just a lonely whisker. And it ends with a team of men who briefly tasted the awesome, if not hyperbolic, majesty of the mustache.
(Watch to the end for a cameo by Baby Bien explaining victory [...]
I don’t have time for a long, explanatory blog post on Movember, our team’s valiant effort to fight ass cancer, or the state of our mustaches. Suffice it to say, our facial hair has helped us frighten off our girlfriends, wives, boyfriends, fuck buddies, family members, and pigeons.
We met last Tuesday evening for happy [...]
There was a moment last week when I thought to myself, “I’m starting to like my mustache. Maybe I’ll keep it even after Movember ends.”
Then a flock of pigeons tried to kill me.
I was walking back to work from lunch, stroking the ends of my ’stache like a man who had just tied a [...]
“You’re cheating!”
Since the start of Movember, I had read and re-read the charity event’s five rules of growing a mustache. Rule #4 states:
“There is to be no joining of the handlebars - that’s a goatee.”
No problem there. So why was I getting flak from my teammates?
“It looks too much like your goatee.”
This was [...]
“I’ll give you $100 not to do this,” The Princess said a few weeks ago when I told her I was growing a moustache for charity.
After shaving off all my facial hair Tuesday night to kick off Movember, she took another look at me and revised her promise.
“I’ll give you $200 now.”
The Committee for the [...]
The first moustache I ever saw was my father’s.
He wasn’t a cop, a lounge singer, or a porn star. He was Argentinean, which, apparently, was enough reason in the 1970s to grow bigotes.
And though the practice of growing a whiskery pushbroom above your upper lip has since grown out of style in the U.S., [...]
