Game on

Since we had our coming out party in mid-July of this year, the AMI has received a steady flow of  e-mails at info@AmericanMustacheInstitute.org.  Some people dig us, some people hate us, and most people simply think we are bizarre...and who can blame them. 

Eugene HutzJust today we received a note from Gena "Pinky" Campos - who swears no relation to Pinky Tuscadero of Happy Days fame - arguing that Gogol Bordello singer Eugene Hutz (pictured at left) deserves cannonization for his fine lip sweater. And when she wasn't providing us with her personal English language clarity on "mustached" vs. "mustachioed" (AMI prefers "mustached" but both are acceptable), it was nice to feel the venting of her passion about Eugene's flavor saver.

And to us, this crystalizes the magic of the fuzzy tickler. We all have opinions about the 'stache. (As an aside, it should be noted that my football coach once told me, "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one and they all stink.") But with the labia sebucula (Latin for lip sweater) - the opinions range - we like them, we hate them, we are indifferent, we just don't get it, we don't have the patience to grow one, we enjoy the art, we find them gross, we find them sexy....you get the idea. 

Bottom line - it engages a conversation, an argument, a good laugh, whatever. And that's good. Game on.

Now just you wait a second here, I haven't thanked you yet for the clarification because I have been spending the last few hours since the receipt of your email trying to find the words to most aptly express my gratitude.

Thank YOU, American Mustache Institute, for adding perhaps one of the finest men to wear a flamboyantly erotic mustache during this lifetime.  :- } D

..."Porn Star Parros" is his name and he is sporting a pretty impressive stache on the ice this year. Maybe a nod to our favorite Anaheim Duck hockey player is warranted on AMI.com? Wendy

He is the sexiest man alive with or without the "lip sweater" ... but, of course, preferably with.

About afroman

The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more. Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing. On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer. “I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.” Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch. Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita. As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita." Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
