The Mustache Game

[Permalink] Aug 27, 2012, 12:03:00 PM
As Seen on TV: Mustaches.

Mustaches and binge drinking, two great tastes that go great together. Not long ago this writer received an emergency replacement mustache from our friends at LATSFB.com. No longer will the E.R.M. lay dormant on my desk. Said mustache may now serve a non-emergency function, taped to the television, waiting to grace new faces as they slide underneath.

Check out themustachegame.tv for details. They even have a friendly web-based overlay for your streaming videos. What's next? Perhaps an OpenCV library to map beards on faces in real time? If that ever happens, I hope SweetBeard gets credit.

Moustaches are Healthy

One of our favorite beard-free friends sent this gem up the tipline recently. I hope you don't die of complications arising from your risky shorn lifestyle, Rick.

The Atlantic published a compelling article in their August issue on the assorted health benefits the moustached man enjoys. In an era of increasing political partisanship, a doubling down of which Americans will suffer for the next 3 months, it's nice to read about real solutions from a non-party-affiliated1 source. Forget Obamacare, Johnsoncare2, Romneycare, taxes, or deficit spending. What we need is a moustache, and friends, we need it soon.

We won't spoil a good read, but just look at some of the healthy highlights!

  1. Cancer protection
  2. Pancakes
  3. Tax Benefits
  4. Increased Attractiveness

Yeah, that's right kids. Pancakes.

A question then begs asking, the answer to which must be obvious if we are honest with ourselves. If all these benefits can be realized by a simple 'stache, how much more beneficial must be a full beard?

[2] Just kidding, Gary Johnson doesn't portend to resolve complex issues with legislative monoliths

Football?

If I only had a dollar for every time this happened, right?
The NFL -or should I say the David and Goliath agency- has finally achieved brilliance in marketing with their new campaign. While this writer has very little idea how fantasy football(or football for that matter) actually works, they sure are selling it well.
