The Goddam Moustache Challenge!!!!

[Goldmund]

A MAN WITHOUT A MOUSTACHE LOOKS LIKE A WOMAN WITH MOUSTACHE!!!!


That's right, mates!!!


Let's be two steps ahead of fashion (or behind, which equals to the same).


I urge ALL REAL MEN in AGS forums to grow a moustache and post it in this thread!!!!!

Mine is still small, but you can already see how much testosterone it pumped into my previously whimpy brains!!!!



Waitin' for your 'staches!! Stop fretting, go for it. BE A GODDAM MAN!!



Disclaimer: you must know that in today's society, moustaches work a bit like chastity belts. But then who cares, women are for queens anyway!!

[LGM]

I already have one. And a beard.

[Goldmund]

LGM.

Nice picture, but no.

Sorry. No hard feelings.

But beards are for cowards.

Their sole reason for existence is to avert attention from the king of facial hair - STACHE.

They're like "oh, I would like to have a moustache, but I'm afraid people would go: what?! he has a stache!!!!"

Beards are socially acceptable everywhere. Ethan Hawke can get a beard anyday, but damn me if I see him with moustache!

Moustache = no beard.

[Grundislav]

Not very impressive, but I'm not enough of a man to let it grow any further!

[Goldmund]

Boy, that's some stache you have there!!
It's thinner than mine, but I never could grow it so long downwards - I'm ashamed to say I have a bald spot on one side of my lips. Must be that last gay part of me I work so hard to eradicate watching Death Wish 3!

Bravo for Grundy!
I can already picture a StacheMeet!
And LGM - shave the damn beard off and join the gang, boy!

[Domino]

That is nice.

edit: Just noticed it matches my eyebrows. ha ha ha.

[Goldmund]

Whoa, Domino!! Your moustache density rules!
Any tips on how to achieve it? And how long have you grown it?

[Domino]

I had a beard, but shaved it off to get that perfect "stache"

Growth time=month or so. 

[GarageGothic]

Hmm, two days worth of stubble, girlfriend going away for almost a week... Challenge accepted, sir!

[LGM]

no, the beard stays...

[Ponch]

The day I got out of the military was the day I stopped shaving, so I've been rocking the facial hair thing for years.

But no beard?! What the hell?!?

The way I see it, my beard is like my moustache's wingman. There's just no damn way I'm sending him out into hostile territory without backup. Flying solo is for young fools who may have a "devil may care" attitude towards life. But the beard is a sign of maturity, and the mark of a man wise enough to make it back home alive.

And those are the sorts of men who live to father sons... sons who will grow up to continue to bring facial hair to the world.

- Ponch's beard has spoken

[Pet Terry]

Moustache = no beard.

Haha, I get your point, but... no! Just bare moustache doesn't suit me, I'm sorry. I've tried!! Here's me about a year ago, complete with sorry excuse for a moustache + beard.



Another thing is, it takes ages for me to grow facial hair... damn youngin! However, I'm planning to grow devil's moustache + beard one day!

[Gilbert]

[plug] If guys (or girls) don't want to look like a woman without a moustache, you can always get one for free here. [/plug]





Sorry for hijacking this thread (and yes, the site is in Japanese and is slow as well), but I must prove that I am a real man!

[monkey0506]

Unfortunately I have been plagued with the inability to grow a 'stache...though I've finally obtained the ability to grow hair on my actual chin and not just the underside of my jawbone. Perhaps one day I can be manly too...maybe. :'(

[Helm]

I am summoned back to this forum for the express purpose of participating in this thread. I usually go clean-shaven but it is true I always longed for a terrible mustache.

I have at times attempted a more rural look just as an excuse to dirty my 'stache in wonderful soup and then lick the ends of it for the stale flavour. It is true the beard is always the excuse for the stache, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.





And this is for the record



For the 10 minutes I had this going, I felt like a manlier man.



This variation specifically made me feel like less of a man.



The merit of this is debatable.



I am back to being just me.



Or is this me now? I might never know.

[Nacho]

I asked my mom permission to have a moustache and she said no I really wanted to participate...  :'( I guess that asking my mom makes me less man, no matter if I had moustache or not.

[Akatosh]

No matter how hard I try, my beard growth always reaches "mass murderer facial stubbery" after three days, then stays like that for a week, then directly jumps to "Taliban". So no 'staching for me. 

[Babar]

Be very, very fearful

[voh]

I feel manlier already!

[Haddas]

I can't grow a 'stache.. It turns out too french. I have a one day moustache stubble, but that's hardly worth showing off

[Andail]

I say, this thread is manlier than ten other manly threads!
It's so manly it managed to lure Helm out of his lair! With bathroom-pics! Double jackpot!

I guess that asking my mom makes me less man, no matter if I had moustache or not.

Quote of the week!

[[Cameron]]

I hate you all... because I have pissy facial hair, and even if it was thicker it would still be blonde, and that just never looks right.

[Stupot]

Awesome post...

Stache Pic in due course.

[Eggie]

I JUST shaved off my moustache.

It's coming back, though. Just you wait. Here's a little taste of what you'll be in for when it does:

[Nacho]

Telemachus Stravadopulous, the former president of Spain!

[The Ivy]

Last time I did this people said I looked like Frank Zappa.  :'(

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

Never fear, Petteri my friend, I have come to your rescue with the quick-gro handlebar mustache and matching goatee, courtesy of Helsinki Formula!

[Esseb]

I too would like to be a manly man, with a dashing 'tache designed to swoon all the ladies.

Here it is:


Impressive, yes?

[jetxl]

What about... sideburns.

[monkey0506]

Oh man do I ever have some manly burns...I was just bothered that it wasn't manly enough to compete with all these mustachioed men.

[Creed Malay]

Does a Lemmy count, or do I have to lose the chin-to-ear-connector bits?

[Tuomas]

Damnit, I'd so love to participate this one... But you know, I have to leave the room at least once a week. Also, I still don't have a camera. No moustache here. I tried once and it made me look like a kid in his puberty.

[Darth Mandarb]

I'm afraid I'll have to go the Esseb route since growing out my mustache will take some serious time (about 2 weeks) considering I just shaved this morning!

I will sport the 'stache proudly in my avatar though:



Look out ladies!!!  Darth is on the prowl!!

[Eggie]

Telemachus Stravadopulous, the former president of Spain!

I have to say, that's not the first former world leader that leapt to mind...

[voh]

Also, it's José María Aznar López, the former Prime Minister of Spain! 

Also, nice hitlerstache, Helm!

[Pesty]

I'm manlier than all ya'lls.

[Miez]

I'm manlier than all ya'lls.

Damn. You SO win...

[Domino]

Now I am hungry for these...

[LimpingFish]

In Soviet Union beard shaves you!



Also, this monitor webcam is banjaxed.

And yes, the food is nice at the asylum.

[Goldmund]

Hell and demons!
So many goddam fine entries!
Creed, your Lemmy eat babies and shits powder!!

But beardies, really!
Show some shame, conformists! You will NOT be on the offical exclusive moustAGS wallpaper.

Let me introduce a prize for the winner of the challenge:



Holly shit!!!! It's THE original Charles Bronson Moustache, to put in your profile's sig!! Man, I wish I had this beauty! But we'll let the voting decide.

I have at times attempted a more rural look just as an excuse to dirty my 'stache in wonderful soup and then lick the ends of it for the stale flavour. It is true the beard is always the excuse for the stache, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Friend, I'm so happy the sweat/piss/beer scent lured you to this thread!
You truly are one of stache-meisters!
And you are very right about licking your 'stache.
Notice, however, how convenient it is when you are stranded in the wilderness: all you need is a bowl of hot water. You dip your moustache in it for some time, and - voila! - here is a bowl of delicious broth, combining tastes of all delicacies you've eaten the whole last year!

GG - I will not forget these brave words, so you'd better prepare some stunning 'stache pic for us to savour!

[Ponch]

This thread is muy macho. In fact, this may be the most manly thing I have ever been a part of -- and I have lived a very manly life, so that is saying something.

But the obvious question is:

Where is CJ's moustache?

- Ponch's beard

[Andail]

But the obvious question is:
Where is CJ's moustache?

Please, Poncho, we're trying to maintain manliness here

[Dualnames]

Avatars have moustaches too..

[Kinoko]

[AGA]

But the obvious question is:

Where is CJ's moustache?

[Timosity]

An edit was necessary

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

Now I want to know what's behind the censored box.

[Domino]

It was probably a joint. 

[Darth Mandarb]

Silly people ... check out his eyes, and given the context of this thread it's clearly a razor.

[Stupot]

[Kinoko]

Actually, that picture earlier was me before my haircut.

Now, I look like this:

(IMAGE)

Hehe, fun.
Can you make that into an animation?

[[Cameron]]

I did just however, realize I have this still from an outtake in a short film I did.

[Goldmund]

Holy Shit!!!!

Stupot stole the damn Charles Bronson moustache, the bastard!!!!

Now we have no trophy!!

Charlie, go at him!

[Pumaman]

Where is CJ's moustache?

Contrary to AGA's misinformation, my tache is full and powerful:

[Chrille]

The mustache must be returned. It is surely the finest in the history of mustache. Charlie would never be able to pull of a cunning plan such as this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3nB8NmDYxc ,  without it.

[Kweepa]

That's a real moustache (and real hair) in my avatar. I just grew it for Halloween though. All gone.

[Stupot]

Holy Shit!!!!

Stupot stole the damn Charles Bronson moustache, the bastard!!!!

Now we have no trophy!!

Charlie, go at him!

[Ponch]

Contrary to AGA's misinformation, my tache is full and powerful:

Indeed it is! And suitable for twirling in a menacing fashion!

And kudos to the other fine staches on display here. Well done, all of you.

I must say, I'm surprised at the number of AGS ladies who sport such fine moustaches. Well done, ladies! Flaunt your manly 'staches in a womanly fashion, and social conventions be damned!

I contacted a friend of mine from years back, and he was nice enough to provide me with this image:

I helped out with bit parts in student films back in the day, and in this role I was supposed to be a 70's burn out / former biker (or something like that). This fine shot is from "behind the scenes" footage of me trying to learn my damn lines before we lost the light. Sorry for the crappy compression, the behind the scenes stuff was saved in some crappy mpeg format.

This moment also records the closest I've come to actually shaving off my beard since I got out of the service. Porkchop sideburns aside, that is pure stache, baby (and a damn fine one, I think you'll agree).

- Ponch

[Disco]

Damn, just shaved a couple days ago which means I will have light stubble in a week or so, then it will stop.

I don't suppose you would accept a substitute tuna moustache?

[DanielH]

[ManicMatt]

No.


I can't let it grow anymore, I have to look respectable in my shop!

[Evil]

Damnit! Every time there is a moustache challenge I shave a day before I hear about it. And by every time, I mean this has happened twice.

I do have wicked sideburns though.

[IndieBoy]

I vote for a sideburns thread

[Stupot]

I vote for a pubic thread... we could have prizes for Biggest Bush, Most Neatly-Trimmed, and Who Can Shave The Best AGS Character Into Their Pubes.

[FruitTree]

FINALLY!!! a thread worthy of my manliness!



top that! mofo's!

[ManicMatt]

Woah.  :o

I hide in shame.

[LimpingFish]

I think Goldmund is covertly trying to find three more members for his Village People tribute band.

[AGA]

I think Goldmund is covertly trying to find three more members for his Village People tribute band.

Do we even have any black AGSers?

[Domino]

I think Goldmund is covertly trying to find three more members for his Village People tribute band.

We need all GAY men then.




Look at that dude biting on the screwdriver. he he he

edit: that guy on the right looks like Ben Stiller.

[AGA]

Apparently two of the Village People were straight, so not *all* gays is necessary.

[Adamski]

Hey gringos, what's happening?



Sadly it's just a grey smudge on this crap-o-matic webcam, but I wasn't designed to grow facial hair in the first place! It's a biological failsafe to stop me turning in to my Dad.

[Becky]

DISAPPROVAL: IMMENSE

[GarageGothic]

Damn, looks like I have some competition for that Village People gig.

[Andail]

GG, you look totally like I didn't imagine you. I imagined you much darker and a bit chubby.

[GarageGothic]

Haha, Andail. Yeah I get that a lot lately - Stickam totally ruined my mystique . You're the first person to say they thought I was chubby though, but I've heard everything from me being a teenage girl to a long-haired dark metal fan (not that those two are mutually exclusive).

I guess you must all have missed my Ben Jordan cameo:

[MillsJROSS]

My moustache has enabled me to save kingdoms, win over the love of princesses, and jump with manly sound affects. You wanted to know who has the best moustache. Game over!

-MillsJROSS

[edmundito]

True story: Every morning the only thing I shave is the mustache area.

Therefore, EPIC FAIL for me.  :'(

[Pesty]

Hey. HEY.



Why haven't I won yet.

[GarageGothic]

Girlfriend came back a few days ago, so I had to get rid of the 'stache. But not without documenting the process:



1) Was going for the Village People handlebar moustache but ended up looking like Morgan Spurlock.
2) I don't know, Mexican bandit or something?
3) Burt Reynolds style!
4) Horrible Vincent Price impression, but that pencil moustache was classy as hell. I'm gonna miss it.

[Goldmund]

Girlfriend came back a few days ago, so I had to get rid of the 'stache. But not without documenting the process:

Goddamit!
Women like totally don't castrate their men.







Everyone, thank you for those damn fine staches!!
Soon I'm goin to make a voting gallery!!!!

[GarageGothic]

LOL, Goldmund. This whole thread would make for an awesome Photoshop Phriday.

[Stupot]

1) Was going for the Village People handlebar moustache but ended up looking like Morgan Spurlock.

Haha... I knew I recognised you from somewhere...

I probably wont get a chance to post a 'stache here for the time being... Just started uni, so I want to impress the ladies, not freak them out.

[Paper Carnival]

I shaved my beard & mustache yesterday because they grew way too manly for me to handle. Everyone knows that the size of one's mustache plus 1 is directly proportionate to the diameter of his testicles, and I missed sitting comfortably.

Maybe I'll post before / after pictures when I feel like it.

[Snake]

OWIE!!1

This is as good as it's going to get, fellas.  I can't grow any more than that. I'm a discrace to manhood.


--Snake

[Andail]

During periods of leisure I sometimes grow various forms of facial hairstyles, but since I try to appear respectable in front of my students and co-workers, there is little room for experimenting.
That being said, I can't seem to push my hairs further than 1/4 inch from the skin anyway.

[Paper Carnival]

This might be of some interest to you guys: http://www.dyers.org/blog/beards/beard-types/

My beard makes other people look ashamed 

[Andail]

My beard makes other people look ashamed 

Could also be your posture, but what do I know

[abstauber]

You never know, what happens _behind_ the camera 


Btw. I've first read "Could also be your prostitue, ..." thinking wow, that's really rough beard talk  8)

[jetxl]

I found this old webcam photo of me on an old backup cd. As you can see I was always a beard man.

[Ishmael]

I had misplaced my shaving equipment for a quite a while, and thus I didn't have any reason to go find them and use them, it got to this:

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

Testing out a really bad webcam before I shaved my Pirate stache off (when you can grow one in 5 days, what's the big deal?) yields bad results, but at least you can see the pirate hat, right?



RIGHT?


Edit:  Arrr, Jim lad!

[Dualnames]

Pirate Stache..

[Privateer Puddin']

[Domino]

Mitch Hedberg is still alive.  I thought you were dead.

[Eggie]

UPDATE!


Unfortunately, that's generally about as thick as it gets.

[Phemar]

December is coming up, and we all know what means...

Yes, kids, it's time for MaBeGroMo! (Macho Beard Growing Month).

I intend to grow a massive beard.
