About an hour ago (3:00 am), for reasons I don't yet understand, I was inexplicably compelled to shave my vacation beard but during the process something strange happened. Perhaps I was getting tired and lazy, or perhaps it was an overdose of cheesecake making the decisions, but now I have a mustache.
I've always hated them, yet here upon my face sits a creepy lip-weasel. Just having this fuzzy, little nose-hugger on my face makes me feel like a dirty old man, and when I look in the mirror my upper lip seems to epitomize everything I've ever associated with porn-stars.
And yet I'm facinated by it!
It seems to have a mind of its own; a power of some kind. It imbues me with confidence, self-esteem, and smarminess.
As The Tick once said about his own new mustache:
I think I'm beginning to understand what happens to some people who fall victim to the hairy, style-free drug. Luckily for everyone, when I wake up I'll immediately finish the shaving job I started but until then I'll sleep with the confidence of an adult video star!"This changes everything. I feel... different. Better. A new sensation is spreading out from my upper lip to every other part of my body. It's a feeling that I just can't quite describe. It's a savvy kind of feeling. A suavey kind of feeling. Kind of a.. kind of a mustache feeling!""Rugged, self-assured, adult. These are the words that describe the man who wears a mustache. Yes, it says to the world, 'I'm a man of action!' Ah, but action tempered with maturity. Like a fireman... or somebody's dad! Y'know, most of your world leaders have mustaches!"
