Moustaches

A guy with a moustache walked past my work area in the lab today which got me thinking about moustaches. I normally keep a goatee because THE WIFE is disturbed by the fact I look like a little kid without it.

Me personally, I think I look like John Candy (before he died of course). The picture is of him, not me.

I began to wonder about the whole facial hair thing. I get frustrated with the trimming and shaving etc... I tried growing just a moustache without the goatee but a friend pointed out I looked like the cop from the "Villiage People."

Not a good look for me.

But anyway, I digress, the whole story is I was trying to figure out a smart alec thing to say to the guy such as, "Dude, you look like you just escaped from a porno." He probably would have taken it as a compliment, so I skipped it. I didn't want this guy to think he had sex appeal. None OK. He is chick repellant.

I moved to telling him that the 'stache made him look gay. But it didn't. Lets face it, most gay men whole grow a moustache have some fine looking lip-wigs. Take Freddie Mercury for instance. The man was gay, but three things cannot be disputed:

1. Freddie ROCKED! He was without a doubt the master of the stage!

2. Freddie could sing like nobody else! Hands down!

3. Freddie had a MANLY MOUSTACHE!

Nope, no insult to gay men everywhere by comparing the wolly worm on this guy's lip with the essence of masulinity of most gay men.

I searched and finally, FINALLY figured out what it reminded me of.
