"Curse be upon your mustache!"

Wa wa wee wa! It's snowing a lot outside. But that's not the reason I'm here today. A meeting has been rescheduled and I have time to kill.

Did anybody else catch the last Canucks game? It was a Pay-per-view game against Florida, which the Canucks barely won in a 6 round shootout. The winner is not what I'm addressing here. It's the 2 players on the Florida Panthers that have the disgusting mustaches.

Olli Jokinen.
Look at this tool. He looks incredibly stupid with a mustache. He's even somehow convinced one of his teammates, Ville Peltonen, that growing a mustache is a good thing. I tried finding pictures of it, but couldn't. They're probably having a mustache growing competition. Guys do that. And I'll bet it was because of the popularity of this guy.

Good ol' Borat.

Now, I'm not against NHL players who sport mustaches. Dave Babych, ex-Canuck, had a marvelous mustache. And he was part of the '94 team that made it to the Stanley Cup Final. This guy had an awesome mustache in his day, too. Who can forget about ex-Flame Lanny McDonald?

Now that's a mustache! You should see him with a full beard, too.

Basically I've decided that if you're going to grow a mustache, don't do it until you're over the age of 30, or work for the RCMP. Young guys just look stupid when they grow a mustache. Full beards and scruffy faces are okay, it just looks like you've been too busy to worry about it. But mustaches? Please, go big or go home.

The title of this post was taken from a direct quote by Saddam aide Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri to the Kuwaiti minister of state, Sheikh Mohammed Sabah al-Salem al-Sabah.

mustaches are always, always gross.

I caught the game and that was my number one gripe as well. My brother and dad were getting fed up with my whining, but it's a serious problem - having a nasty mustache. Ew.

Lindsey and Mike said...

I complained about it through out the game as well. It made me want to throw-up and punch them all at the same time. There is no excuse for facial hair like that in this day in age...we have mirrors. And are these guys single? Could their ladies not give them a gentle nudge towards the razor that they so despritely need?

P.S. Jokinen and Peltonen, news flash, you're not in college anymore. Growing any sort of hair as a contest or bet is no longer tolerable (I said tolerable b/c those kinds of bets are never acceptable).

LOL! I despise the moustache. Actually am not a fan of most facial hair... few men can pull it off well. There is NO excuse for competitive hair growing. What is next, peeing contests?? Who can make it past the red line on the ice??!! Facial hair is gross.

Hey now, my guy has a goatee and it looks good on him. Mustaches - ewww. Nicely trimmed goatee with no hangy offee (that's a real word) stuff - priceless.

Sara said...

I agree that some facial hair is good. Goatee's are 'hot'. Yum. But this dude that MikeH is referring too is the complete opposite of 'hot'. It's like being freezing, but not 'cool' cause that's like being 'hot'.

I think he might as well have a mullet. Or long gross stringy hair. EW.

Although technically facial hair, the goatee is not gross. I was thinking more of the furry beard type look. I can't say I think the goatee is hot per se but I have thought men who wore goatees looked presentable, fine and decent. The only man I think is hot is my DH and he doesn't do the goatee thing. Facial hair that can have crumbs stuck in it or curls off the face by more than 1cm is gross.

Mullets are not hot in any way!!! you could take THE hottest man in the world and cut his hair into a mullet and he'd be hideous. LOL!

Luckily, I can say a goatee is hot as I have a hot hubby with a hot goatee. He's yum. It's funny how other guys don't compare. This dude totally doesn't even come close.

Magnificent M said...

I am now trying to picture my hot man with a goatee and I am laughing... I think he might look like he should be riding a motorcycle or something... Not that other men with goatee's look that way. Just picture my DH with a goatee... hmm, I guess its just not him. I have seen him with a mustache though and for the record, not good. He had a thick, and I mean thick, mustache. Frightening. Fortunately those days are over!

Mike H said...

Yeah yeah yeah. All your DH's can grow facial hair. Big whoop.

Sorry, that's just beard envy coming through. I like your DH's too, I just wish I could grow me some nice stubble. As it is, I'm part Asian and my Dad can't grow a beard. That's 2 strikes against me! At least I can save money on shaving cream and razors.

Michelle said...

Mike you are hilarious!

Magnificent M said...

I'd happily trade you my DH's hair growing genes. As I said before, I'm no fan of facial hair and my DH has a 5:00 shadow at 11:00 am. And if he grew a beard he'd be a ponytail with eyes because he'd be one big ball of hair. Between the eyebrows, the mountains of hair and the high hair line... embrace your hairlessness. There is no glamour in the beard.

Magnificent M said...

thats high facial hair line... his beard line is up by his eyeballs. yeesh.

Lindsey and Mike said...

Please do not trade your DH's hair growing genes to my Cupcake Man. I like my face not being lacerated by stubble.

Mike, you know I won't pretend to understand your beard envy but pine away if you must. I enjoy the fact that you are not the hairiest ape on the block:)

Sara said...

My DH will be happy to hear there is beard envy, but he is not happy with trying to get rid of most of his facial hair everyday.

Count yourself still pretty alright without a beard and darn lucky to not have to shave. Those razors these days are mighty expensive!

I have not caught any hockey on tv yet this season Mike H, but I do check the scores from time to time, to see if the Canucks won
