Dru Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 All the Iraqi have them. Do you think its gonna wreck the moustache fashion trend that was taking off in North America? Paco, you gonna shave yours off or what? A moustache looks so right with a mullet. Its like a shotgun and a pickup. Quote
North_by_Northwest Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Yeah, it had an effect on me. A while ago I shaved my beard and was planning on leaving the stache with handlebars intact. Thought twice about it and clipped those stiff, well cultivated bristles right off. Now my mullet stands alone: the party in the front just ain't same with only one. Quote

catbirdseat Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Back in the seventies, my Dad had a contract in Saudi Arabia. He went to visit for a couple weeks and came back with a moustache (note the spelling). I was a teenager at the time and had never before seen him with a moustache. He said he felt wierd in Saudi being the only clean shaven guy around. After while he shaved it off. Quote
klenke Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Do I have to call you out on every one of your posts Catturd? That hairy ornament you can grow above your stiff upper lip can be spelled moustache or mustache. Although, I think the former is the French version, whose language use, as we know, is currently faux pas (oops, faux pas is also faux pas). Damn! Quote
Dru Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 everyone in the world but americans spells it moustache y'all spell it mustache just to be different losers Quote

specialed Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Atleast Saddam's moustache is kind of generic. Fuck man, that dude Hitler just ruined the toothbrush style moustache for everyone. Quote
Dwayner Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Moustaches can be a big thing in the Middle East. I once met a guy named "Abu Shanab"....father of moustache...and he had a big one too (moustache). In the Old City section of Jerusalem, there used to be (still is?) a popular restaurant called "Uncle Moustache". An American friend of mine with whom I worked with in Egypt had a funny command of the Arabic language. One of his contrived "ice-breakers" with the locals was to ask the question, "Eh loonoo shanabak?", which means, "what color is your moustache?" During the many times that I witnessed him asking the question, no one ever seemed to care if it was an odd thing to ask. They usually answered directly with a color, such as "brown", etc. or sometimes they would discuss it a bit before choosing the color they thought was most accurate. I was warned, though, that the question had to be pronounced properly because the change of a certain vowel makes it feminine (i.e. what color is the moustache of YOU (man) or YOU (female).....the latter which neither a man wants to hear NOR does a woman. Myself, the moustache I currently sport was obtained during my first scientific expedition to a remote desert area of Egypt in the summer of '81. I had a baby face and it was something I did to try to look older. It's coming off soon, though. - Dwayner Quote

Moustaches on women are a whole other story... Quote
klenke Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 "It's coming off soon, though." You've probably been saying that for 20 years, Dwayner. Quote
catbirdseat Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 I had a beard and moustache once. They were thin and scraggly and did not look good. My wife said I looked like an axe murderer. Found my old drivers license. You know she was right. I looked a little like Ted Kacinski. Quote
