@stafford: i’m saying this as the younger brother of a dude who has worn the same giant, furry caterpillar of a thomas magnum ‘stache since he graduated college… in 1982! I seriously cannot remember what my older brother looks like without his early ’80s, straight to video porn star lip foliage. Now don’t get me wrong, when I was a young lad living the boho life in Prague in the early 90s I saw and wore my share of novelty facial topiary – standard issue goatees, post-90210 sideburns, king tuts, van dykes, gunslingers, beefsteak charlies; our souls were filled with art and our faces were our hairy canvases – the kind of thing that was pretty much killed off for good by the beardy-wierdy excesses of nu metal. still, i can’t help thinking that today’s hipsters have sadly limited their range to a very small subset of moustaches – from the Chuck Norris/Thomas Magnum/Larry Gatlin of the Gatlin Brothers on the tame end to the 70s swinger/child molester/man with a van on the wilder end. And I can’t help think that they all look like my dork of an older brother – and he’s a republican who works for the department of defense.

@Clevertrousers: @Stafford: I really want to underline this excellent question:

"Why are hipsters so fucking obsessed with facial hair?"

Because mustaches are the least attractive thing a man can wear. The child molester jokes come for a reason.

@Clevertrousers: Because you're not. I've had a mustache off and on for about 3 or 4 years. While I mildly dislike the ironic mustache proliferation I've noticed in the past year, I do appreciate that the amount of child molester jokes slung my way have decreased exponentially. That all gets pretty old.

Could catoon Oates team up with cartoon MC Hammer and cartoon Kiss for a very special Scooby Doo Rockin’ Halloween Spectacular?

If this isn't picked up by Adult Swim by day's end, I'll eat my copy of H2O.
