My melancholy mood is dissipating. A little green tea goes along way with me, apparently. And it’s sunny outside…and I’m feeling less sick. Which has led me to be more productive today than I was all of last week. I’ve already done a load of laundry and a load of dishes, whipped up some cornbread, and there’s a batch of bbq tofu in the works. But after making my morning web rounds, which included Pitchfork, I’ve had something on my mind. Think me unhip, but I do not understand the appeal of Har Mar Superstar. I prefer Sean Tillman’s work with Sean Na Na, hands down. His pseudo R&B stylings are like nails on a chalkboard to me, and his whole schtick is repulsive. I’ll admit I may have found it funny…at first. Now the act has worn thin. But I did find something on MeFi that seems to go hand in hand with Har Mar. The tacheback thread.
“The aim of Tacheback is simple: to return the moustache to its rightful place as a must-have fashion accessory, and to raise funds for research into male cancers in the process.”
Also included was a link to the World Beard and Moustache Championships, happening in Carson City, Nevada on November 1, 2003. As well as the longest moustache in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. And folks, that’s solid chest hair down there, in between the red sections of fabric…not part of his shirt.
