I preface this post with the suggestion that you read it (or think it) with the voice of Will Ferrell's character, Ron Burgandy from Anchorman (who, coincidently, also had a 'stache).
There comes a time in every man's life when he really needs to just 'stache it for a while - something that Dad, Unlce Bruce, Uncle Mike, and others know all about. Some 'stache it for a little too long (Bruce), others get out of the 'stache game right at their peak (good job, Dad), and some look to the future, hoping that there will one day be a thick, classy, bushy, curly 'stache on their upper lip (me). Nothing brings a smile to my face quicker than when I think about one of Dad's sweet stories about the many good ol' days of stachin' . . . It's a good thing Mom tied the knot with Dad in his pre-'stache days because if Dad had still been single when his awesome patch of sweetness grew in - watch out, Dad! - there's a lady-storm rollin' in!
So here is my salute to that special time in a man's life:
Yes, that's a real, albeit weak, 'stache with the hair neatly parted on the left.
