Where to start a moustache or mustache can lend dignity to any aspiring megalomaniac dictator it change a man from looking like a 14 year old to one with gravitas or dignity.
Or if you are an aspiring syphilitic philosopher you can aim for that special crazy look.
Then again what should make a man look like a real man can well lets face it can make you look gayer than you may already have been.
Lets think about great men with moustaches, we have Mark Spitz olympic gold medal winner. Groucho Marx, Asterix the Gaul, Mark Twain, Burt Reynolds, Sean Connery, Salvador Dali and of course Elvis.

The video that keeps on giving funny.
Ah,
the moustache, nasal and aural hair as suitable sources of comb over material?
That would definitely say
“Middle age plus…” about a man.
as would hairs sprouting strongly from the outer surface of his nose.
Dare I ask what style you’ve got yours in these days?
In the spirit of “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours”, my facial hair is quite trim at the moment, more like a young Cat Stevens than an ageing founder of a middle eastern cult.
oh, I’ll stay clear of that joke too.
Cure for baldness: You grow a moustache like the one on the black-leather guy bottom right (Village Person), transplant it, then grow another moustache. Keep going till you’re reforested your whole head. Make sure your nostril hairs are not included in the transplant, or that could look a bit weird.
Yes it would be weird.
Ozboy: Ah — but you left a message! You touched!
With full disclosure I do sport a Moustache myself.
a-HA!
I’m not sure what that discloses, but it discloses something. Does the moustache have a beard and sideburns for company or is it a lonesome moustache?
Most of my life after age 16 I have had a moustache although for about 7 years I had a beard short cropped. I detest sideburns.
He hasn’t answered the question, doggy. That means it’s a lonesome moustache.
Which is the better spelling: moustache, which looks like there’s a mouse in it, or mustache, which is just above mustard?
Now this is interesting. Why do you detest sideburns? Because of how they feel? Or how they look? Short ones or just long ones?
I don’t like either sort just personal taste I thought they looked kind of naff back in the 70’s.
I am so not touching this one.
So you chickened out as well, lets see who makes the joke I know that you know that I know.
I’m obviously much too innocent for this blog, even if some others don’t think so.
I’d love to see what sort of mustache Fenbeagle would put on James Delingpole if we asked him to put James in Cavalier costume. Or just try different ones on for size: James with a handlebar, James with ringlets.
Love the Village People picture by the way. A walking display case of various mustache styles. It’s a little-known fact that each band member kept a number of back-up moustaches in his pocket in case the existing one fell off or got grubby, and if you admired the moustache and asked nicely, they’d even give you one from their supply.
Mark Spitz on the deep subject of his moustache:
Q: DID YOU GET ANNOYED WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASKED ABOUT IT?
A: When I went to the Olympics, I had every intention of shaving the mustache off, but I realized I was getting so many comments about it–and everybody was talking about it–that I decided to keep it.
I had some fun with a Russian coach who asked me if my mustache slowed me down.
I said, No, as a matter of fact, it deflects water away from my mouth, allows my rear end to rise and make me bullet shaped in the water, and that’s what had allowed me to swim so great.
He’s translating as fast as he can for the other coaches, and the following year every Russian male swimmer had a mustache.
Is it just me, or do one or two of them look rather like furry leeches?
You do realize that it has taken great restraint on my part not to make a rather obvious but slightly naughty joke on this subject. Well let me post the link on Ozboy’s. It is still a work in progress.
Is it obvious? I haven’t thought of it. Are you going to keep us in suspense?
I am so glad you have led a sheltered life but braver men than me shall have to make the joke.
If the joke is a play on what I was saying about non-traditional areas, I think I can guess :^)
Wrong guess.
Oh, blimey!
I think Style No. 3 could add a lot of je ne sais quoi especially when I’m dancing. It don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that bling — and what’s more, ‘cover your rash with a stylish moustache’. This could, however, result in ‘staches being stuck on odd places, like legs and whatnot. However, people put earrings in all sorts of non-ear parts, and no one thinks it’s especially odd these days. So possibly, wearing a moustache in a non-traditional and indeed unnatural area could be a new trend. Though I hope not.
