It happened on fateful night (which you can read about here).  My life was forever transformed from an unshaven shlub to a sophisticated, moustachioed force to be reckoned with.

If there is one thing that I know, it is that there are 2 kinds of men in the world:  Those with a handlebar moustache and those who want a handlebar moustache.  Take it from me:  Do not be afraid to try and grow one.

GOOD THINGS HAPPEN.

This page will serve as a log for the compliments I … errr … it gets.

1) 2015 Spring Road Trip:

I see a man in the hotel lobby with a moustache, and I call out to him.  “Nice ‘Stache” as I walk out.  He gets up and RUNS to me.  “WAIT!  WAIT!  Oh my gosh dude.  Your moustache is so amazing.  That is so incredible!  It is everything I aspire for mine to be.  PLEASE – you have to take a selfie with me.”

I oblige and he puts his arm around me while I point at my ‘stache.  He is grateful and runs off.

2) Legoland, California

An older gentleman in his 60’s or so is at the front desk.  I ask him if he is in line, and he takes a good look at my moustache and says “Oh!  no.  No, I’m not!”  He ushers me ahead of him.  30 seconds later, he comes up to me and says “Although, if I were in line, I would have gladly given up my spot for you with a fine moustache such as yours.”

3)  Summer baseball card show, Houston

I get 3 or 4 references to Rollie Fingers.  This is a huge compliment in and of itself.

4)  Visiting my best friend from high school

It had been a while since we saw each other, so as he comes out to greet me at my driver’s side door, I get out, and he promptly falls to the ground, doubled over laughing saying over and over “Dude no way!  Are you serious?!  That is AWESOME!  Oh my gosh!”

He is so right.

5)  Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, various other restaurants

Many workers, mostly young females say they are totally digging the ‘stache.  No doubt because they have not been exposed to anything so manly before.
