"Do You Have A Moustache?" Topic

TMP polls are getting dry – there is one, pressing question that has not yet been subject to a poll here: how many TMPers are moustachioed?

A moustache is a paradox; simultaneously a sign of being unpretentious, down to earth, honest but also mysterious and other-worldly.

I am not moustachioed but I would dearly love to be able to grow a walrus style 'tache. But whenever I have tried I ended up looking like a walking advert for Gay Pride.

So, come on, Bill, lets have a poll we can all enjoy – Do you have a moustache? And what style is it?

On occasion, as a source of irony in martial settings. Longest I went with a cookie duster was probably a three-week period while languishing in the wilds of Pseudo-Afghanistan at Ft. Chaffee.

Yep. Grew it in 1983 and it's still there, albeit it's getting gray.

Yes, A hairy catapillar under my nose

Yes, to match my beard.

Last time I shaved was '79, I think.

Last shower was a bit more recent.

"TMP polls are getting dry"

My sister-in-law asked me yesterday why all the adult males in this country are circumcised.

Steve

did you tell her why?

And did you ask her how she knows ALL adult males in the US are circumcised she certainly didn't check me 8-P

Sounds like it would be even more exciting that this 2003 classic: TMP link

However, to initiate a poll, you need to make the request here: TMP link

Every few weeks or so.then I shave it off.

I wish I could grow a nice funky mustache… Something I could really work on. Maybe a big brushy one, or a Fu Manchu or something…

Alas, my facial hair has limitations. It's quick to grow, but falters in the "scruffy teen" stage…

I'm 33 and when I shave I look 12. When I don't shave, I look 13.

Sort of.

Hell no!

The girlfriend would leave me on the spot! I did spent the last 8 years with a "pinch" that I shaved recently, but no 'stache for me.

As my photo demonstrates, I abjure facial hair of all kinds. However, I used to have a magnificent 'stache throughout the late 80s and early 90s. Then, in 1999 I tried one of those mustache/beard combos that were in fashion at the time. I kept that for about a year until my kid told me I looked like the devil. Except for getting a bit whiskery on the weekends, I've been shaving it off since then.

Had. At various times.

Yes, and a few years back I grew a beard as well, to simulate a jawline :(

I have huge "Burnside" muttonchops that are connected to the 'stache by looping around my cheeks.

Okay, maybe I don't- but ONE day…

The Native American blood really shows through when I try to grow facial hair.

You mean on my upper lip? No.

PS. Eyebrows keep trying to meet these days though. What's up with that?

Never had enough facial hair to grow either a decent mustache or a decent beard.

Not currently. I rotate having one and not every five years or so. The last one included a soul patch, as I was heavily into ACW reenacting at the time. I guess I'm about due to grow it back.

I shave every day, especially my upper lip. It would be wrong not too.

Yes the mustache was grown in May of 1973 and I have had it since.

No. Native American bloodline keeps the facial hair sparse and unworthy of uncontrolled growth, although what little I do have seems to grow at triple speed due to some exceptionally hairy north European ancestor. Upshot, I always have a five o'clock shadow, and I can't actually grow a beard or moustache.

I had a Van Dyke thing going on during part of my hippy/bohemian phase… in fact, I might not be done with the hippy/bohemian phase, but I'm done with the facial hair.

Is this a trick question?…

I've had a goatee ever since the wife left in '96.

Only as part of a full beard.

Yes. With a few variations for quite a few years now.

Yes, since 72 or so. Been in police work since 76. It's a requirement. 8^)

Yes.

Grew a beard shortly after I left the RAF, still got it.

Circumcision- in the U.K. if you enquire as to whether someones circumcised or not you ask:- ' are you a cavalier or a roundhead'

have had a mustache for 30 years or so. Shaved it off once, started growing it back two weeks later.

You been hanging out with suspicious Transylvanians? That's a sign of vampirism.

I tried once, over a fortnight off. The results weren't pretty, and it itched.

I briefly grew a beard back in the 90's, but I didn't really like the way it felt, so "No" would be my answer.

Yes, yes I do.

I'm seeing that I'm not alone in my reason for no serious facial hair. I've got some Native American's in my own bloodline, which I believe is the reason for my non-beardy-ness.

Yep -- had it a little over a year

yes

Yes, since l968. It's quite white now.

Aye… included free with purchase of goatee.

I've only known one Rumanian in my life, but she was HOT.

That might explain why I work best at night!

Dan

Mustache for about 30 years (except for when the chemo did for pretty much all the hair – always regretted not having gotten a few pictures). Beard for much of that time. Got rid of the beard about a year and a half ago – my sister-in-law tells me I look ten years younger, my nieces miss it.

Yep

Yes, a nice 'Walrus' type. Had it since 1969…

White soup strainer to go with long white beard.

Oui! Le Grognard il y a grande moustache! Or somethin like that. Salut y'all!
