gerry said...: My upper lip follicles are anemic. I get eight or nine really long hairs after a month of growth, and that's it. Everywhere else on my body is like jungle undergrowth, however.

Oh, well.; 11/30/12, 12:30 PM

SteveR said...: When you lose like The Pack did last Sunday, that thing on his upper lip is rightfully going to get some blame.; 11/30/12, 12:36 PM

Movember is a stupid concept.; 11/30/12, 12:51 PM

It's like the mustache is trying to be funny, and that was not funny. Wipe that mustache off your face.; 11/30/12, 12:52 PM

garage mahal said...: Oh, Madison Man. You're such a stick in the mud.; 11/30/12, 1:04 PM
Sam L. said...: I've seen a high school with a poster for "No Shave November" 2 years running. Kinda wondered about that.; 11/30/12, 1:06 PM
traditionalguy said...: Facial hair is a man's covering like the head hair is the woman's covering. It sort of cover ups a man's personality until men seem to be the same, EXCEPT for the color of the facial hair

NB: never fight a man who grows a red beard. For you Wisconsin Badgers, that includes Andy Dalton.; 11/30/12, 1:07 PM

Toad Trend said...: Moustache close-ups are not a good look. Not as bad as the floss thong, but a close second.; 11/30/12, 1:43 PM

Once again you are confused, it's where the pudding is hid.; 11/30/12, 1:51 PM
M.A. said...: I too wondered what possessed him to grow the moustache. I thought maybe it was his answer to throwback jerseys - he had a throwback face to 1970's. Then I realized he didn't have the sideburns to go with it. So thank you for the explanation, and I hope he heeds your call that Movember is over.; 11/30/12, 2:03 PM

As a Comboys fan I was quite naturally rooting for Green Bay and was very disapointed when the mustache showed up.; 11/30/12, 2:03 PM

Geoff Matthews said...: As a father, I can attest that the minor difference described here on growing/shaving facial hair is accurate:

Sorry, once you have facial hair, the moment you take it off, you look hideous. Men always look better with facial hair (albeit, well-kept facial hair).; 11/30/12, 2:23 PM

Mr Evilwrench said...: Best I could do after a month was a kind of sparse goatee with some outliers each side. It had to go. I can grow hair better on my ears. No 70s pornstache for me.; 11/30/12, 2:34 PM
ricpic said...: Filthy lefties like leslyn hate the 'stache.; 11/30/12, 3:03 PM
Anonymous said...: I'm a filthy lefty too, and I like mustaches, see we lefties think independently. We're that good, dont'cha wanna be a lefty too?; 11/30/12, 3:12 PM
Sofa King said...: Rodgers lost

The Packers game

Some say his mustache

Was to blame

He should have used

ricpic said...: How could I ever disengage from you, Inga? You represent everything I hate so much that it almost keeps me alive staying in touch.; 11/30/12, 3:32 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: My only consolation is that my mustache will continue to grow, if only for a bit... and on every mug shot, avatar and bad wedding flick that remains behind, it will live on, long after I'm gone.; 11/30/12, 3:34 PM
McTriumph said...: leslyn said...
Sam Elliott IS the only man to look good with a 'stache.

Tom Selleck? TR? David Crosby? Sean Connery? Frank Zappa? Bella Abzug? The list goes on and on.; 11/30/12, 3:37 PM
Anonymous said...: Damn Ricpic, your intense hatred burns bright! Before you know it you'll self immolate and all they'll find left of you is an ash hole.; 11/30/12, 3:44 PM
ricpic said...: I have news for you, Inga, post 70 everything turns into ash. Except for Haz, who has sex like 50 times a day.; 11/30/12, 4:09 PM
McTriumph said...: leslyn

You never saw Sean Connery in Zardoz?

Or a young Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro ?; 11/30/12, 4:12 PM
30yearProf said...: I trimmed mine off in 2010 after 40 years. It was like I'd lost a good friend.; 11/30/12, 7:33 PM
David said...: Rosebud!; 11/30/12, 7:40 PM
David said...: I flashed a stash when in my 20's. It was a terrible mistake, and some who loved me (some and who didn't) told me so. Mine never should have oned.; 11/30/12, 7:43 PM
reformed trucker said...: I have a blonde mustache with down turned handlebars (long enough I could wax them upward) and a soul patch, and there's no way I'm shaving them off. Last time I did, I didn't look like me.

And I just wasted about 45 minutes watching Rhett and Link videos... thanks a lot(those guys are funny though).; 11/30/12, 9:13 PM
