Those of us here at the Ch.4 news team...uh...I mean in San Diego (which means "whale's vagina" in German)...support the revolution!

Despite the caked on suncscreen on my Nick Charles cookie duster, we are ready to rise up on the left coast in support!

San Diego is the new epicenter of the mustache revolution in Southern California!

I found this site after the AMI were covered in my local paper here in New Zealand, so I thought it was only fair to come along and give you guys a bit of support.

The newspaper like all things is losing out to instant gratification.  Why read the whole paper when you can pick and choose and "get it now" on the web.  It all makes for a much more narrow view of the world... people deepening their understanding for what they already know in their custom chosen world.

The only thing dying is a broader view of the world.  A perspective that crosses borders and time.

The mustache of course is affected by this.  It is the great unifier.  All men of "character" from any time or place, can look to one another and have an understanding.  Like the physical newspaper, they like the things on their face that are real... tangible.  Can anybody touch a "clean shave" really?

People have begun to realize that the virtual world is missing something humans need, and unfortunately, so is your friends face.

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

I also do not agree with this casting choice on a more shallow front.  Magnum PI was HOT, Nicky Cage, decidedly, is NOT.  I wasn't the only five-year-old who was crushin' on the PI either... Consider us girls disturbed.

Fret not fearless leader.  Striving for perfection is noble, indeed.  But always acknowledge & accept that whilst everyone cannot be turned onto the side of good, most will follow.  

The more of us there are doing good, the more of them will see the light.  Soon you'll see day where most men wear year-round weather protection of the facial labia.

Your cardiac surgeon's wife?  What about your cardiac surgeon's husband?  Oh yeah.  Surgeons aren't WOMEN are they!  And neither are presidents!  Women are powerful only when they're TV or movie icons, right?  I will point out that there are plenty of extremely accomplished First Ladys with worthwhile opinions on some things.  Even Laura Bush seems to be more of a reader than her husband.  The real question is, who should we be listening to right now?  Because my answer right now wouldn't be anywhere close to the current administration.

Will the AMI establish a mechanism for celebrity mustaches to be donated for the good of society?  A museum of mustaches to be preserved for the supporters of the great mustaches to be viewed.  

Robert Goulet's would be an invaluable start.

Mr Whipple said:

This is what can happen when you grow a mustache:

"Like many actors who find fame through commercials, Mr. Wilson became too closely identified with his character to do much of any other kind of acting. But he rarely complained. In 1995 he told USA Today that during his Charmin period he worked perhaps 16 days a year.

“'It was like a paid vacation,'” he said. 'I had a great run.'”

Kathy Hensley said:

The comments left by the poster using hate speech obviously is familiar with the workings of the webmaster and the school's code of conduct.  This would lead people to believe that they either work in the IT department or for the school system. It shouldn't be hard to determine who this person is, and I would hope that they would lose their job if they are an adult, or be expelled from school if they are a student.  Please pursue this and demand an apology from the guilty party or demand that this person lose their job.  They do not belong around children.

The AMI administration said:

Kathy, you speak the truth. Which is exactly why we - in the end - chose to re-post this comment so that you, the reader, could see this kind of conduct. We are trying to determine from what IP address this came so we can understand where, in fact it came from. As always, thanks for reading the AMI blog.

Randy Hancock said:

As the Superintendent of the Royse City ISD, I would like to respond to the blogs regarding our school district.  In reference to the blog that contains inappropriate comments - I hope and assume it is not from an employee.  However, we will work with AMI to do our best to locate the person responsible and I can assure you appropriate discipline will be dealt whether it is a student or an employee.  The statements in that posting are certainly not the feelings of the Royse City ISD, nor the administration.  

Regarding the original issue - a student not being allowed to keep his mustache -  according to our current guidelines - students are not allowed to have mustaches.  This is part of the student code of conduct and dress code that is recommended to me and ultimately to the school board by the principal of the campus after he has worked with a commitee of staff, parents, community members, and business members.   The school board takes the final action on the proposed guidelines.   The code of conduct and dress code is reviewed annually by the campus committee and reapproved by the board during the summer.  Any proposed changes would be considered at that time and would go into effect next year.   Students and parents are always given the opportunity to appeal any decision.  They should contact the campus principal to begin that process.

Again, I regret that Royse City ISD has been placed in a negative position because of this incident.  We have a great school district and we support our students in their growth and development and we want them to be successful.

Ahh, Mr. ExecDirec, honesty is a brave and wonderful thing. I, too, as a one-time mustachioed youth and then a full-beard-wearing 20-30-40-50something, shaved the entire thing off (I "slipped" while trimming the beard, then said to hell with it and mowed down the entire thing). But instead of thanking me for sparing her the facial rash, my then-wife announced that I was "really freaking (her) out" because, sans beard and mustache, I looked disturbingly like my older brother, and that was NOT a good thing.

But again, we all make mistakes, choices, decisions at the fork in our razor, er, road, and I trust this one will give you appropriate pause to remember the quest you are on, and return refreshed, with a new outlook on the importance of maintaining that lip mane for the good, the noble, the right in our hirsute cause.

And, yeah, I'd like to see the newly shaven face, too, BTW . . .

Being linked to your organization makes the few hairs atop my head stand on end. I can see at a mere glance that you guys are very busy with important stuff. While I have not specifically talked about mustaches in either my book commentaries or movie commentaries on Nick's List, you can be sure I'll watch for an opening.

For now, note that Mark Twain, my favorite American author, sported one of the finest mustaches in our history. Also, I read around in the ancient philosophers and those guys were all pretty hairy. Some day soon I would like to be an ancient philosopher myself. As for the movies, all mustaches were honored for all time — actually, three times — in one single classic western: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Jason Giambi's batting average pre-mustache: .261

Jason Giambi's batting average post-mustache: .406

As a Yankee hater, these numbers pain me. It is a wonder that more MLB players have not caught on to the majestic powers of the 'stache. If you need more proof, simplely look to the batting champs of the '80s (Mattingly, Boggs, Keith Hernandez). Did Tony Gwynn sport a 'stache?

Giambi's hitting is absolutely related to his 'stache. As a die-hard Yankees fan I have listened to or seen most of their games this season. Since Giambi started growing the 'stache, he not only has been hitting more home runs, but he is hitting the ball harder and playing better defense. What this post doesn't say is that Giambi also got his fellow Yanks to grow 'staches and while they are no longer sporting them, I believe it was the mustaches that jump started this team out of mediocrity.

Death Wish 3 rules!! Every time I see that movie, I want to run out and get the "reverse mohawk" sported by Fraker, the ruthless leader of the Not Equal Gang (I assume this is their name from the arithmetic symbol they all wear on their foreheads) and the guy that Bronson gives the business end of the bazooka to in the final scene.

Alas, I never have the guts to go through with it, but thankfully Father Time is slowly taking care of that for me.

God bless you, Golan-Globus Productions, for making some of the best vehicles starring some the greatest mustached American heroes of all time, including Bronson in the Death Wish sequels and the Chuck Norris Missing In Action series. Not to mention Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Also, did you notice actor Alex Winter (Bill of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure fame) in the film? Just another fun fact about Death Wish 3.
