So you know that thing I told you about… that thing I haven’t done more than a handful of times since I was 13-years old? Well, I did it again…

I shaved off my mustache…

a 1 a 1Yeah, and the goatee too… Now, I have done lots of posts about mustaches… you should really type ‘mustache’ in that little search bar thing by the magnifying glass up there, trust me, it will be worth it, I did Photoshop pictures of many famous people and swapped the mustaches around and put them where they didn’t belong…

Oh, and then I got a haircut… you did not see that coming, did you? No, because even I didn’t see it coming. Is it just me, or do I look like Ed Hotspur now???

But look closely at that picture up there. Do you see that smile? I am not smiling. That is the natural shape of my mouth. And it isn’t a nice smile. It is a smug smile. I look like I know something that the rest of you don’t know.

Well, of course I do know lots of things that the rest of you don’t know, but I don’t want to walk around making that so obvious. And that is why I grow the mustache. And also because I do not want people to think I am happy all the time. That would be misleading.

Wait, I know what’s missing…

That’s better. And yes, I even have some ‘product’ in my hair… but I didn’t put it there myself.

Now that is how you are used to seeing me… a little scruffy and sporting the rockin’ facial hair… wait… is that a convertible? Is this another picture of our trip to Maui that I am trying to sneak in? No… it isn’t…

a 1 a 5

This is not a monster vomit-green Mustang, this is a white Camaro, and it isn’t in the green jungles of Maui, it is in they dry desert of San Diego. But wait, I hear you say, didn’t your wife just get a new Highlander? Did your wife buy you a Camaro?

No, this is a rental car.

Because my wife got in a fender-bender the day after I got her tags and license plate after all those trips to the DMV I told you about. It happened on the day we went to the fair… you remember the pictures of the fair, right? And it was a crazy parking lot with no one directing traffic and we sort of merged into a rental car driven by some lovely Israeli tourists. I still don’t know exactly whose fault it was…

a 1 a 6We have great insurance with a free rental car, but for 10 dollars a day extra, we get to drive this.

a 1 a 7

Which makes having your car in the shop a lot more fun.

a 1 a 8And gave me a chance to invent new types of selfies…

a 1 a 9Because I am that funny… and self-absorbed…

a 1 a 10So, anyway, I am now rockin’ the Ed Hotspur look… if you don’t know Ed, you should, his blog is awesome…

a 1 a 11And my poor, pasty-white upper lip is as naked as… it has ever been.

    With your sunglasses on your REALLY DO look like Hotspur!

  2. It’s a good look, although I suspect it won’t last for long.

    Although I am particular to hair, you no longer look so much like Drew Peterson.

  5. Lucky you. You look….well, decent anyway. If I shave my goat, my cheeks look HUGE. And my chin disappears, which is scary. Plus I look ten years younger, which is not a good thing. The vast majority of my hard-earned grays live there. Although, with this whole owning-and-operating-a-restaurant thing, they’ve begun a rather startling migration topside….
    My kid’s eight. I’m pretty sure she would throw a screaming crying fit too.
    Oh, wait. That would be me.
    Screaming.
    And Crying.
    Which is why I haven’t shaved it in about fifteen years.
    A puffy-cheeked, chinless wonder-boy is not a pretty sight.
    Well, unless you’re in prison maybe.

    • The right facial hair is important. I did those posts where I showed what Hitler and other tyrants would have looked like without the correct type. And I stuck my mustache on Jennifer Lopez… and a baby… and Dick Cheney.

  6. You look pretty good, sir. Ask your wife and daughter.

    You look like a baby 😀

    What’s that? Taking off the sun glasses….

  9. You look like one of my old professors. Unlike him, you’re not an ass.

    I did that when I had a 2 year old daughter. She. threw. a. screaming. crying. fit. I think you look younger if that matters, but the jury is still out. It’s funny how people will notice the head hair change sometimes before they notice the facial hair missing. “You look different somehow?”

  11. You look much younger. Being a person who likes facial hair I never thought I see anyone as looking better without but you do.
