Diseases of the Mustache: Temporary Handlebar Weariness

What horror to be so afflicted. The right-side cannot hold a twist at all.

The Mustache of a Scholar, Surely

The gentleman has two of the most subtle overhand twists I ever encountered. In fact, I do not think they can even be considered to employ a twist at all.

The Balding Mustache

At least he will always be able to count on his thick mustache.

A Special Note To My Readers

Now that the paganish hootenanny of Halloween is finished, I can see now that the loss of Joseph maybe permanent, and not some cruel prank he has pulled upon his employer. Joseph has run off before, but has often returned after a few nights, reeking of sugar cane liquor and sporting an infant beard. I truly miss the burly simpleton and will hold out hope for his return.

But my work must go on, and I have obligations to you, my faithful readers. Many of you have posited questions in the comments that I have yet to respond to. I plan to spend the weekend grieving Joseph and creating a series of posts to the main page to answer the most pertinent. All of your comments are a wonderful comfort to me during this time, even those from benighted souls who wail out against the mustache and advocate its destruction. This is America after all, and you are as free as anyone to express opinions that are wrongheaded, ignorant, and public evidence of ill-breeding.

Please use the comments of this post to ask any burning mustache queries you haven't yet put in comment posts past.

A Fine Natural Mustache

Solitary Is Not Alone, Simple Is Not Plain

Here is a fine example of the mustache in all its solitary glory. This gentleman needs no other ostentatious facial hair adornment. I wish we could part the mists of time and determine if he wears a watch on the end of his fob and chain or a sumptuous silver mustache comb.

The Piercing Stare Of The Well-Groomed Mustache

The Kind Of Mustache You Want To Settle Down With

The bride is clearly beside herself with joy at being legally wed to such a fine mustache.

The Closed Loop

Amazing!

A Classic Handlebar

A classic handlebar with an overhand twist. The gentleman might be working toward a facespanner. God speed, sir.

The Overhand Twist

A robust and thick handlebar with a overhand twist. His right side may have drooped under a fierce flash of powder or it could be a rare underhand twist.
