Yuletide mustache 2012

Gentlemen, have you begun growing your Yuletide mustaches yet? I began growing mine yesterday, November 1, as I do every year. Again for 2012, it will be a horseshoe– basically I’ll trim my chin with a bear trimmer between the pipes and let the rest of my goatee grow completely unfettered until January 1. It’s great for keeping 1/8 of your face warm as the cold weather creeps in!

Plus it looks dynamite while drinking holiday cocktails, kissing girls under the mistletoe, eating guacamole and chips at football tailgates, and posing for pictures in red reindeer sweaters and green dickeys.

Start growing yours today so it’ll be ready by December 24!

You must have some serious facial hair.

Why, thank you for noticing!

Yeah, never mind the mustache, I wanna see video of that bear trimmer being used for its true purpose.

You telling me I’m the only holiday-celebratin’ jamoke who’s man enough to break out the bear trimmer and cultivate some lip hair this holiday season? (You can use a beard trimmer too, if you have a functioning ‘D’ on your keyboard.)

None of you balloon lickers has the plums to do this?

I’m telling you, nothing says “Christmas” like licking an egg nog mustache off of your real mustache between Bing Crosby songs on the hi-fi.

I’m for real. Yuletide mustache 2012, in full effect. Where’s yours?

Regardless of what I use to trim my goatee . . . it’s, by definition, a bear trimmer.

Make it into a mustache! The goatee, that is, ya bear.

Around this time last year we did a beard growing/no shave November thing at work, but I was the only person who really did it. It was sort of an excuse to see how I’d look with a beard instead of just a goatee.

I’ve still got a full beard, though it did take 3 months to really fill in fully.

Last time I shaved my beard off was about four years ago. The last time I shaved my moustache was at least ten years ago…

Then youse guys need to shave everything off except for the hair of your upper lip! This is the greatest of the recently-made-up holiday traditions!

For the true gentleman, nothing says Holiday Season like long whiskers coming out of your face in the lip region.

I mean I dare anyone to find a more hearwarming holiday image than the cover of theBurt Reynolds Christmas issue of Playgirl.

THIS COULD BE YOU, GENTLEMEN!

Saw a guy today with a John Oates perched on his top lip. It was magnificent. I wished him a Merry Christmas.
