Mustaches

I read the following article about an Iowa gubernatorial candidate being nominated for a mustache award:

.... which led me to the American Mustache Institute:

Totally long, but totally worth your time.

It is almost Movember, after all.

My governor is on that list, too.  He's running for Senate - and it's ZOMG controversial, because no Senators have mustaches.

Whatever, I voted for Carl Pavano.

I loved the last paragraph on the history page:

AMI has become known as one of the bravest, fiercest, best looking organizations in the history of mankind behind only the United States Marine Corps and the post-Jim Henson Muppets. And it is content to wage future battles with the men and women wearing beards and goatees, men who own cats, the noxious fans and stars of ”Sex & the City,” books written to cash in on flimsy trends, and Dave Navarro, who as we all know, is pathetic.
