Walt Disney a Fascist?

I dont know if Ill be able to get on the online tomorrow so heres your mustache fact.

dumbo.jpgFact:
Before World War II, Germanys Tripdill Park had an attraction called the Mustache Ride. Children could ride around on giant mustaches, spinning in circles and going up and down. It was destroyed during the war and never restored but Walt Disney later used the general theme in his Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride.

A Tribute to the Basement and the Shedu Within

A couple of you may recognize this. It was orignally intended to be on the home page of thebasement.com. Unfortunitaly that never happened.

impala-mustache.jpgOnce upon a time there was a group of boys.  Only they werent a group yet.  It took a car to bring them together.  A 1981 Chevy Impala to be exact…

I had just started the second semester of freshman year in high school.  There were a couple of cute older girls on my bus ride home and also a kind of dorky kid Neil who I had P.E. with.  The girls talked to me but when they werent on the bus there wasnt anyone other than Neil to talk to.  Since I wasnt all that cool myself, we got along quite well.

Sophomore year came along.  Still unable to drive Neil and I continued to ride the bus home.  The older girls however were gone.  This led to actual conversations between us and we would also hang out during breaks.  Neil was going to be the first to get his license and he was also anticipating having access to a car.  Jokingly I offered Neil 'Best Friend' status if he gave me a ride home so I wouldnt have to ride the bus home with all the under classmen.  Neil, being the always willing to please individual he is, said why not.  The day came for Neil to drive to school for the first time.  He asked me if I wanted to go to his birthday party and I said sure.  This was  my first time to the basement.  The rest is history…

Fact:
Birds can not grow mustaches. Yet another reason to hate them.

The Few, The Proud

marine.jpgThe face will be clean shaven, except that a mustache may be worn. When worn, the mustache will be neatly trimmed and must be contained within imaginary vertical lines from the corners of the mouth and the margin area of the upper lip. The individual length of a mustache hair fully extended must not exceed 1/2 inch.

I Want To Ride My Bicycle

freddie-mercury.jpgSome believe Queen's fall began after Mercury changed his look, cutting his hair short and growing a mustache. "When Freddie grew his mustache, people started throwing razor blades onstage,'' says a former associate. "They began to suspect he was gay, and that's when they turned on him.''

In this bloggers opinion, That mustache is bad ass and only makes me love Queen more. It just goes to show that people in the 80s were idiots.
