Soon I'll post some pictures from our week at the river but first a matter of business. As is custom at the river I went a couple days without shaving, then as a joke I shaved everything but my stache to try and get a reaction from Beth. She went on to ignore it for several days hoping it would go away and not wanting to give me the pleasure of a reaction. Next thing you know it had been a week and I'm in too deep. I felt like I have to let this thing ride. Beth seems to think it has to go, and fast. So I told her we'd put it to a poll. What do think? Be sure to vote on the right.
Although I don't like the reactions I get from parents when I smile at them and their kids I do like the possibilities this creates for Halloween. I could be Magnum P.I., Mexican, Super Mario, Uncle Bill, and um uh lots of others I'm sure.

First off, you don't help out your case by giving that creepy stare in the picture. I was about vote "No", but then I thought about the Halloween implications you mentioned and that changed my mind.
You need to be Mario for Halloween! That would be classic.
Keep it for Halloween...I'm really curious to see what evolves from the stache!
Señor Juan for Halloween! That said, I have already signed a proxy agreement giving all my voting rights to Beth.
Whatever!
Trust Senor Beel, aka Mark Spitz, aka Rabbi Emetstein: In twenty years you will look back on the "Riverstache" photo, thinking of those halcyon days of youth, and get sick to your stomach.
On the other hand, it does have a certain Ned Flanders flair to it...
The national mustache institute did a study and found that men with mustaches make 9% more than their less hairy colleagues. I heard about it on the radio.
I think you should at least keep it thru Halloween, but if I were in Beths shoes I'd want you to shave asap!
Grow it out and getting a handle-bar stache. How sweet would that be!
poor beth. i'm trying to figure out a way to prevent jeff from seeing this post.
You all make very valid points, thanks for the feedback.
Brian was right, I do look like a creep in that photo. After going back and seeing it I changed my vote to "no, please shave." I mean I can't even really grow a mustache anyways. What was I thinking?
Now that Beth and I are on the same page you'd think the stache would already be gone but it's not. Too late. I already turned it over to the people. We'll just have to wait until the polls are closed.
Beth, it's in the blood; check out your father in law's credit card mug shot, mucho more painful to look at. John, a fine Adam Sandler look a like.
maybe you should keep it - ruben will feel more included now that there's another mexican in the family.
I think that the six + mexican meals we had at the river really went to your head.
If only Jason could even grow hair. I would make him sport all sorts of facial hair styles.
That is one sweet stache! I made it 5 weeks before an unfortunate shaving accident. I am currently in the regrowth stage and my charter was approved to set up a chapter of the American Mustache Institute here in Utah. If you need advice you can consult with Dr. Aaron Perlut, who is head of the American Mustache Institue at 1-877-STACHE1 If you call during business hours they will take your call. I guarantee that it will be one of the most entertaining phone calls of your life. I think for Halloween you should go with the 1980's version of the Triple Threat: The mustache, the perm, and the turtleneck. http://www.americanmustacheinstitute.org/
I think you look like inspector gadget. -Curtis
