bushy moustache?

a couple of months back there was an article on the weekly ale dissing kirk and the growth of his "uncool" moustache. i was one of the few folks at the time speaking out against this supposed "uncoolness" - errr... in other words, i thought the moustache was cool. unfortunately kirk relented to the barrage of criticism and promptly had the moustache removed. goddamn pier-pressure. and goddamn biggotted, backward folk.

as if to personally prove these poor, misguided souls wrong, all the coolest people on the planet have suddenly started wearing "uncool" moustaches. moustaches are super cool at the mo. and i am really sad that my genetic make up is such that, although i can grow hair out of my ears, nothing grows under my nose (although it is doubtful that anything would grow under my nose - nothing grows in the shade).

ps. the lumberjack-style checked shirt is back in fashion as well. you can even wear it open over a white t-shirt like you used to when you were listening to vanilla ice at the age of 13. honestly!!!

so... the current top five super cool dudes sporting "uncool" moustaches are:

5. jack black

you must never underestimate the power of the eyebrow. - likewise, you should never underestimate the pulling power of a bushy, ginger moustache.

4. donovan frankenreiter

the moon comes up and the moon goes down. another sleepless night, another sleepless town. but i got you, yeah i got you. - df talking about of the homely comforts of his bushy friend.

3. jason lee (aka my name is earl)

ain't no use running, fool! i know where your mama parks your house. - errr... redneck talk for "your moustache can't possibly be that bushy"... errr... which in other words implies "has your mom sat on your top lip lately?"... errr... which somehow conjures images of a busy top lip... errr... hmmm... errr... yeah... well anyway...

2. eddie vedder

caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go. - ev talking about the trauma his mate felt when he shaved his bushy top lip off.


1. brandon flowers (the killers)

but it's just the price i pay, destiny is calling me. - on the natural urge to grow a country-western-style bush.


1 (too). dave grohl

one by one, i've been searching for something. something never comes, never leads to nothing. nothing satisfies, but i'm getting close. closer to the prize at the end of the road. - on the quest for the perfect bushy moustache.


errr... okay then. hmmm... and of course the all time top five are:

5. jimi hendrix

excuse me while i kiss the sky. - acid talk for "i love my big bushy moustache".

i got a pet monkey called charlie chan. - acid talk for "one should take good care of one's big bushy moustache".

i used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. i take my spirit and i crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see. - acid talk for "you can take my life, but you will never take my big bushy moustache".

4. ghandi

an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. - similarly a bush for a bush makes the whole world naked.

3. john lennon (and yoko ono)

all we are saying is give peace a chance. - in reference to the peace of bush on one's top lip.

possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. it's nine-tenths of the problem. - on possession of a bush razor.

there's nothing you can know that isn't known. - ie. that big bushy moustaches are the bomb!

reality leaves a lot to the imagination. - errr... not really applicable, but a cool quote anyway.

[ed - john and yoko sure did have a cool bush going on there.]

2. jesus

judge not, yest ye be judged. - as per previous sentiments... goddamn biggotted, backward folk!

1. che guevara
