And the Moustache Comes in the Night

The First Ones on the House

I took the Jeep in for its first oil change today. Last week the automatic message came on telling me that, according to the miles driven and driving behaviors, it was time. So I tried to bring it in Friday but the dealership was all booked up. Apparently, without an appointment, theres a 3 hour wait. Well, I didnt feel like waiting more then 5 times as long as the service would take for them to start. I made an appointment and went in tonight. The service was fine and they were pretty quick. Ill probably go back as long as were living in Phoenix but hopefully well get a house with a garage when we move and Ill be able to do the work again.

Fact: In North America and the UK, many groups of men (co-workers, friends, and students) sometimes partake in moustache growing competitions. They are usually fun in nature and offer a bonding experience for groups of young men. The ultimate goal is to grow the most full and well-groomed moustache in the least amount of time, or over a fixed period.

Ill have you know that, according to google, 64tacos.com is currently the 3rd formost authority on mustache fact. And we all know that if its on the internets it has to be true. I will also be reveiling all my sorces at the end of the month.

I Hope You Have a Big Trunk

Im so excited. I finally got my bike. Its a 26" Magna Glacier Point. It is the cheapest adult bike that they sell at Target and its all mine. This morning I rode it to work and got there in less than half the time it normally takes me. While we were slow I straightened out the handle bars and adjusted the reflectors. I know Im just being picky but in my opinon the handle bars should be straight and the reflectors should actually face forward and backwards rather then off to the sides.

Fact: Fish can grow mustaches. Yet another reason not to eat them.

Fact: Men who boast mustaches satisfy their lovers 75% more often then those who dont.

How Should I Set About Growing a Handlebar Moustache?

Today its not so much a fact as it is groming advice.

Advice: The problem for most of our members when trying to answer this question is that it is many years since we started to grow our moustaches, and we find it hard to remember how we went about it. I think that at first I only grew the hair on my upper lip, then as it started to get longer I let the "growing area" spread outwards! But it is entirely up to you. The important thing is that you should feel "comfortable" with the way it looks (even if the itchiness is a bit uncomfortable!)

The biggest decision will come when the hair in the centre of the lip starts to grow long and begins to get messy whenever you are drinking soup. At that point some people trim it to keep it short in the centre. However, if you can survive the messy stage (that is when the hair is starting to grow but isn't long enough to brush to the sides), it is worth letting it all grow so you can train the hair to grow out sideways in order to achieve a more traditional shape.

Similarly with the beard around the sides - it's a matter of choice. The perfect moustache grows only on the upper lip, but many of us allow it to spread to the sides in order to achieve a more "bushy" effect. If you find you can get a good growth of moustache on the lip alone, that is ideal, but if it looks better with a bit more "support" so to speak, then go for what you think looks best for you. When people see a group of members of the Handlebar Club they often remark on how all of our moustaches are different from each other.

The Libertine

Dont watch it.

Mustache Fact: There are between 10,000 and 20,000 hairs on a mans face.

Fact: The only 4 U.S. Presidents known for baring mustaches are: Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, and William H. Taft. Since Taft in 1909, all U.S. Presidents have been clean shaven.

Fact: Scientific research, commissioned by the Guinness Brewing Company, found that the average mustachioed Guinness drinker traps a pint and a half of the creamy nectar every year. Now that Guinness is UK 2.10 a pint, this is the equivalent of an annual mustache tax of UK 4.58.

Fact: By 1914 and the advent of WWI, the military mustache was well-established. Generally, the shape of the stache suggested rank: As a man advanced in rank, so did his mustache become thicker and bushier, until he ultimately was permitted to wear an ever fuller beard.
