ive been handing out those beerstaches, everybody loves them. especially bartenders for some reason. ive been getting free drinks all the time b/c of the sweet stache...the ladies love them too, it can turn the ugliest girl into the most desirable girl at the bar
i def need to order more
That is friggin awesome. Bambam...the Master of Ceremonies for the movement.
I guess we need to be stocked on these for the festival. Whats the link again?
i was goin to get personolized ones but i didnt want it to take the focus from the mustache. they are a huge hit, all my friends gf"s dont drink without it which i find hilarious

it says my friends gf"s, not mine
i could never
My mistake. I always pegged you as a faithful and stand-up guy
Nah I'm still in it Heis..just have been in a low lately..
I need to go get one of those plushies for my bunny so she has a man..one that one hump her, the poor traumatised lil heifer that she is..
I apologize in advance if this this WAY over the edge. I also by no means intend to exclude the other approximate one-half of the human race. I can unfortunately only speak for mine ( and maybe that's a good thing ). So back to my first (and this last) apology… I just got a creative itch and felt like writing about something I've been excited about recently …
Every male at some point faces a turning point, where he must either face his manhood, or stand down and let it pass him by. The experiences of the men (or women) who when through (or participated in) these trials have been documented, here, in The Mustache Diaries...
My father was a daily shaver so I never had the opportunity to sit down with him as a young man and learn the ways of The Stache. It also didn't help that my ability to grow anything the cat couldn't lick off blossomed only in my late twenties/early thirties. At that point it would have been somewhat unconventional getting a lesson from my dad (unless we shared a couple bottles of his good wine before hand ).
Since the beginning of my growth career I tended to take the easy way out. Grab the 'lectirc trimmer, set it to 6 or 7 (which seemed like a good professional number - not a mediocre middle of the road, but not trying to stand out either) and run it up, down, and through whatever happened to be sprouting from my follicles at the time. Thinking back I wonder what glory my mo could have bestowed upon me if I had only given it the attention it deserved. But alas, it was not till later that I discovered the true nature of the beast within .
I'll skip through the years of keratinous abuse, to one much closer to the present. I can't cite a specific moment. It may have been seeing the bassist in the band opening for Social Distortion in Milwaukee, WI earlier this year (picture below. I wish I had a better quality image, or I knew what his name was), and thinking to myself, "that is the most fracking awesome porn stash I have ever seen!!! and I want one!"
It may have been one morning looking at myself in the mirror and realizing "I can be more than this!" It could have been reading an inspiring post somewhere (nearby ) months ago, and realizing I needed to take a stand behind something ( quite literally.) Or it could have been something else entirely, searching for a way out…
I've been letting the hair snuggling my upper lip grow unhindered for some time now, trying to make amends for past injustices. It has finally reached the point which hair does, as it grows past previous boundaries, becoming somewhat unmanageable. In an effort to educate myself and become one with the inside coming out, I turned to the wholly sage of advice in this day and age - Google. Having whispered the magic words to the librarian, as if flipping through some card catalog in the Library of Alexandria, I was shared some pieces of devine inspiration that I though worthy of passing on.

This is just a cool site, and we should all labor to become members. In addition, since I'm 50% Norwegian, I couldn't help but look at that first picture with a child-like envy! (especially the guy on the far left)

Though I cannot yet speak to the virtue of this business, I have found it mentioned numerous times in my web travels. Please be diligent and do your own research before purchasing anything from an unknown vendor.

After my current endeavors I've decided I need a product smiliar to their's. For me, the name sells it!
This brings me to the end of my entry. Hopefully there are other men or women here, who are daring enough, to put their pen to The Mustache Diaries...
Hogan might have the most powerful mustache in history. If his mustache fought Magnum PI's mustache, who would win?
Tough call..personally I'd love to see a Mustache Battle Royal..
and I'd like to throw this stache into the mix...pretty sure he'd be one of the last staches standing
Maybe we should revive the Mustache Movement in March for "Mustache Madness" and have a 64 Stace Tournament to decide the baddest ass stache of them all. All members could vote.
Oh...and come hell or high water I am hoping to have an announcement at some point tomorrow. It might not be a good announcement, but then again...it might be kinda cool Keep your fingers crossed stachers.
@Heisenberg: Do you have any info on the manufacturing/shipping times for the t-shirts? I was hoping to order tomorrow and have it delivered by next Thursday so I could do some recruiting next weekend
My fellow mustachers, I FINALLY have some good news for all of you!
For the last 2 months I have been diligently trying to contact a legitimate charity for us to work with on our little fundraiser. So far I have had very little luck. The Wishlist Foundation responded but seems too busy with their own endeavors (of which they have many so that is understandable), The 10C never got back to me, and Movember said no to us because our event doesn't fall in the month of "Movember" (However, they did invite us to participate with their event in November). I had tried to contact the CCFA as well but had heard nothing back...until today!
I have been working all day with a very nice and incredibly helpful woman named Jane who is actually based in the CCFA's Milwaukee office so she is local for the festival. She is fully on-board with what we are doing and as of today, the PJ20 "Don't Gimmie No Lip" Mustache Movement is officially registered as a 3rd party Fundraiser with the CCFA! We don't have a way for direct online donations yet, but I will continue to speak with our contact and see if we can come up with something. In the meantime, if you would like to "sponsor a stache" and make a donation to the Wisconsin Chapter of the CCFA, give them a call at (414) 475-5520 and tell them you want to make a donation in the name of the PJ20 "Don't Gimmie No Lip" Mustache Movement.
Jane also wanted to make sure that we all knew of Mike's involvement with the CCFA (to which I reassured her...we are fully aware ). Who knows...if we raise enough hell, maybe we can even get Mr. McCready on board now that we are legit. She also mentioned how much she likes the merch store and loves the "Stop Staring" shirt. In fact, she likes the merch so much that she asked me to add the CCFA logo to our gear so next time you check out the shirts on the site, you will notice that the logos are now included (I guess all of you who have already ordered now have original edition collector's items ) With this announcement, we also are unveiling a new t-shirt design.
As always, the color is fully customizable and $10 of each purchase goes to the CCFA. Once again, here is the link to the merch booth:
Lastly, I told our new friends at the CCFA about all of you who have been so enthusiastically participating and contributing to this. Because of that they seem thrilled and excited to work with us (well except for Bambam...they said he kinda scares them ).
So anyway...there ya go. We now have an official association with a legitimate charity. I will be updating everyone as they update me so again, I thank everyone for their patience and dedication to this ridiculous idea that started off as nothing more than a joke. Now we can officially do some good with it. VIVA EL MUSTACHE!

Wow, that is AWESOME! Kudos to you, Heisenberg! And I love the new shirt :thumbup: (I'm curious now whether I will get a new one with that logo as replacement for the one that got lost ...) Viva el mustache!

I've had a stache/goatee/beard for about 15 years now (shaving sucks) so I guess it's about time I partake in this movement. That new shirt is mighty nice looking. It's a very great thing that you guys are doing here. My wife hates my facial hair and is always bugging me to shave, now I can tell her I have a good excuse for not shaving it
