genevieve, you're an adult.

it’s probably unacceptable to roll around on the floor inside of a blanket singing “burrito! burrito!”

operative word: probably.

The Almighty Mustache

Maybe I’m a day late (or more) and a mustache short (not growing one), but I think that the growing Movember movement should get as much support as possible.  For those uninitiated, Movember is a restatement of November to emphasize the “mo,” or the mustache.  Men around the world are asked to grow a mustache during the month of November, and women are asked to support and educate men about the cause.  It’s to raise awareness of male specific cancers - testicular and prostate - that don’t really garner enough awareness amongst the demographics it affects.

So, in honor of the worthy cause, I felt it proper to dedicate enough time to actually, you know, write a blog post instead of being a repository of music and reblogs.  So, in honor of Movember, I present to you my top 10 iconic mustaches.

———————————

First off, the disqualifications:

Speedy Gonzales

I don’t think four hairs qualify as a mustache.

Adolf Hitler

While the ‘stache is iconic and used a lot, Hitler’s mo doesn’t qualify because of the bad, bad man who sported it.

Cleveland Brown

Hasn’t quite reached “icon status” yet.

———————————

SO, without further ado, let the countdown begin!

NUMBER TEN

Ned Flanders

Ned’s mo has been in the national consciousness for over 20 years.  Screaming for joy like a little girl, Ned’s honored to make the list.

NUMBER NINE

Hulk Hogan

Hulk gettin’ down with the handlebar ‘stache.

NUMBER EIGHT

Burt Reynolds

Burt’s lip warmer probably made each of our mothers swoon.

NUMBER SEVEN

Jamie (from Mythbusters)

The mustache goes intellectual: not only does he bust myths, but he looks like a walrus.  How cool is that shit?

NUMBER SIX

Rollie Fingers

Wax that ish, son!

NUMBER FIVE

Tom Selleck

Whoa!  Is that a caterpillar?  Heck no.  It’s only one of the best mo’s of the last century!

NUMBER FOUR

Frank Zappa

Now THAT’s a mother of invention if I’ve ever seen one!

NUMBER THREE

Sam Elliott

The ‘stache abides

NUMBER TWO

Teddy Roosevelt

Ha ha! I’m number two!  (Notice how his teeth are parallel?)

NUMBER ONE

Friedrich Nietzsche

———————————

So, ladies and gentlemen, that’s it.  Don’t forget to feel your balls, sirs.

It's A-MO-zing

stay tuned for details!

Google Wave just got REAL.

for reals.

DOUBLE CLICK ON A BLIP AND YOU MAKE A BUBBLIE THING THAT COLLAPSES YOUR SHIT IN THE WAVE!!!

that was totally in english yalls.  google it.

frfsfrtsghs!! the fuck is this fucking thing you’re all coming over. the only wave i’m interested in is the one i’ll be participating in at FENWAY PARK IN DA SPRINGGG!!!

Google wave is like an interactive, live, chat thread.  Not a chatroom, but one where you can create your own threads and read and edit in real time.  You can also bring in gadgets that allow you to do polling, video conferencing, document editing simultaneously with many users, etc.  It’s basically a platform that, used with video conferencing, can be quite productive.  I’m about to use it now for long distance tutoring.

But, yeah, baseball’s better.
