Finally March 1st is Here

Posted in Moustache March News by tank
Mar 01 2009


March 31st, 2008 seems like forever ago. It has been a long year and not necessarily an easy one for most. But that is why I am glad March 1st is finally here. The time when men around the world unite and enjoy all that is Moustache!

On the site, moustachemarch.com, we have a whole new look and new theme for the new year. Our own Mike coined the phrase “When Moustaches are Outlawed, Only Outlaws will have Moustaches,” which we decided to develop our year around.

I hope for your own sake that you will join us in this time of global uncertainty and honor something that is certain, the amazingness of Moustaches.

Feb 08 2009


Just in case you are not aware, Joaquin Phoenix has retired from acting to pursue his music career. Now I am a big fan of his acting but I am a much bigger fan of his new beard. He must have gotten wind of Moustache March and be going strong for Facial Hair February.

Here is a link to a TMZ clip on Youtube w/ a sample of his rapping and a glimpse at his beard.

Dad’s and Grad’s Sale

Posted in Moustache March News by tank
Jun 04 2008


I decided to do the first ever Dad’s and Grad’s sale this year on the Moustache March site.  You all have that dad or grad in your life that lives or loves the ‘stache and what better way to show them you love them then by getting them a shirt(now $10) or bandana(now $2) from this year’s Moustache March store?

There is another reason for the sale.  I have some shirts left and I can only wear so many of them.  Smalls and mediums especially don’t seem to jive with my ‘svelte’ figure.
My wife also told me that I need to sell some more stuff if I want to get a real birthday present.  She did give me an early gift by letting me grow my moustache back for Moustache May.  She is so good to me.  But I am really hoping for a Wii Fit for my birthday so I can wear a medium shirt next year.

Single Tear

Posted in Moustache March News by tank
Apr 01 2008


While most of the world is busy playing pranks and telling funny jokes on April 1st, I am in a somber mood. Today my moustache came off. After 3 months of preparation and one month of pure enjoyment my face is bare. This year is even more drastic since I have no facial hair whatsoever and nary a hair on my head. I think this is the first time that my eyebrows have been so lonely in over two years, though I think my new found abundance of nose and ear hair are keeping them company.

So while your coworkers are finding their staplers in strawberry jello and gmail is telling you that you can change the date on your emails, I ask you to take a moment and think of all the moustache marchers out there that today can only look forward to next year.

As I post this blog I once again shed a single tear …

Handlebar Moustache

Posted in Moustache March News by tank
Apr 01 2008


I got the privilege to sport a handlebar moustache for the past week.  Now, I have been growing my moustache since early december and still didn’t get the length I was looking for.  I think I have convinced my wife that I will need even more growing time next year.

The handlebar did definitely get the most praise of all my different styles.  It is not one you see enough these days and brings fond memories to many.  I got a lot of “monopoly mans” and Rollie Fingers and even Mr. Peanut, who didn’t have a ‘stache but who knows.
I do think it was an apt way to bring some enthusiasm towards the end of another wonderful Moustache March!

Mohawk and Moustache Experience

Posted in Moustache March News by tank
Mar 25 2008


Well as promised I will now give you a glimpse into life with a moustache and a mohawk.  I shaved the mohawk on a Saturday afternoon in anticipation of a cheap and saucy party I would be attending later that evening.  

Before the party Mike and I decided to visit the pump room at work to take some sweet pictures.  One of my roles at work is facilities manager so I thought nothing of going in on a Saturday afternoon.  I did forget however that the building locks down at 5 on Saturdays and we set the alarm off.  We would have a lot of explaining to do if the security company would have shown up.
Any ways, on the way to the party I stopped by Arby’s to pick my appetizer for the evening…5 for 6.95 mozzarella sticks.  I got some pretty amazing giggle from the workers in the back and the classic “I have to walk to the bathroom” move by one of the employees to get a good look.  They couldn’t take their eyes off of me, which happens all the time, but a little more at this time.  Needless to say the people at the party were quite impressed with my dedication but Mike won for “Cheapest” for the second year in a row.
Sunday my wife and I went to the gym and I think people were a little shocked by the still red mohawk on the treadmill.  Afterwards I got many of the same looks as Arby’s while visiting Wendy’s.
That night I couldn’t bring myself to show the mohawk at church but did get a few comments on my ‘stache and the hair hangin’ out the back of my hat.
Monday at work was an adventure as well.  Most people were pretty supportive except the HR manager, my manager and the VP of the company who I am sure were taking notes of my unprofessionalism in the workplace.
I decided to shave it all off Monday night, which interestingly enough was what my wife liked the least.  She was fully supportive of the mohawk and is tempted to have me keep the ‘stache permanently.

Mohawk May…Meet Moustache March

Posted in Moustache March News by tank
Mar 24 2008

So I am tempted to do a survey but I am pretty sure I don’t need to.  As a childhood male, what are the two hair features that are longed after?  If my memory serves me right it would be the moustache and the mohawk.

I can remember a time around 4 or 5 years old when my buddy Jared and I got ahold of some black model paint and for an hour or so became men, by painting moustaches on our face.  Only problem then was his grandma spent what seemed like the same amount of time scrubbing the paint of with steel wool.
I can also remember until the time when i was…oh let’s face it, 30, everytime my hair was long enough and would stick up I would fake the mohawk.  
If you are honest with yourself, and male, I think you would have to agree with me that these are two things that males aspire towards.
Obviously I have been able to indulge in the Moustache during March and over the past few years I have justified actually cutting a mohawk with the invention of Mohawk May, although I have to admit I don’t have quite as many converts as Moustache March. Now during those times I would take the sides down to a “3” attachment or so and keep it for maybe a day before going back to my standard buzz cut.
This year I combined the two and did a full bald sided mohawk during Moustache March.  Check back in to see how it went for me

Moustaches and Hot Topic

Posted in Moustache March News by tank
Mar 17 2008

So I am confident enough in myself to let you know that I found myself in Hot Topic over the weekend. While at the mall I usually pop in to see what’s on the clearance rack that I absolutely need. I was sporting my Moustache March shirt and of course my moustache.

The first employee I ran into had his hair partially died green and was wearing a kilt(I now realize this was probably his attempt at a St. Patrick’s Day outfit…it worked). He proceeded to compliment me on my moustache and how cool it was to have a ‘stache and be wearing a moustache shirt.

When I got to the counter to make my purchase the other two employees behind the counter were very impressed by the shirt and my moustache as well. I proceeded to give my quick canned explanation of Moustache March and handed them business cards. They were blown away and I quote, “This is the coolest thing I have ever seen, every one should have a moustache.” My heart was warmed, I grabbed my belt, bracelet and chain wallet that I had purchased and left. It is good to see the young and “punk” of America have a respect for all things moustache.
