as part of a goatee or beard they work, but by themselves they're terrible..and should have died with the 70's and the low-budget porn industry...

Who's that sweaty little walking priapism from the 70/80's cheesy porn films.. can picture him but not remember his name -- anyway.. he's like the personification of moustaches .. ---Ron Jeremy ..that's his name...

I'm ashamed to admit that I had one for far too long. Ridiculous affectations in my opinion. I thank gawd that it was pre-digital photography so there's precious little evidence.

I ask (ahem :wacko: ) because I'm thinking of growing one. An un-ironic moustache.

Don't underestimate the power of irony – I decided to grow a handlebar, then I changed it for a Frank Zappa (without the Disco-Hitler appendage).

Some back seat passenger leaned out of their window t'other week and shouted "Oi Hitler!" at me. I thought he might have been getting his totalitarian dictators mixed up as I could where myself and Joseph Stalin could get mixed up… Still he was a middle aged chap riding around in the back of his mate's Astra, so I decided not to make his life worse with sarcasm or irony.

Remember the man in the back has no **** (male appendage/boy chicken) explanation



erm I'd like to try one, but I have a beard and my tash is my least favourite part of it so don't think I ever will
 
Had beard for years (about 20) but cut it all off last year when it was more grey than brown. Found a baggy old mans face underneath but by then it was too late.

Only good one is on Dick Strawbridge. Somehow he would look wrong without it.

A colleague grew a goatee a few years back, and wouldn't believe us when we told him how silly he looked. So, I grew one too, over a weekend so he didn't see it until it was complete, and his first words when he saw it were "Wow, your face looks like a *insert offensive word for ladybits*"

"Yes," I said, "and I'm going to shave mine off tonight, how about you?" He turned up clean shaven the next day.

Facial hair makes the wearer look older, they are never cool and the very best you can hope is not to look too silly.

IMO.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I guess some people suit it better than others, the woman who works in the Spar in my village has a 'tache to put many men to shame :laugh:
not my taste tho, but hey..grow one..you can always shave it off if too many people laugh ^_^

At least he realised calling me bald/fat would have left him open to accusations of pot and kettle

I even had a 'tash in the sixth form at school (back in 1967, ahhhhh! those were the days, sigh)

I have only ever shaved my top lip once in my entire life (I'm now 62).

That was back in around 1990 when I was pi$$ed on New Years Eve and did it for some sort of dare. When I realised that without it I looked like a frog, I let it grow back again.

Currently it is part of a 'goaty'.

>"Wow, your face looks like a *insert offensive word for ladybits*"

But did it still look like one after you'd shaved off the hair ?

;)

I think it all depends on the person wearing (sporting?) it and the style of 'tache/beard. A long-dead uncle had a spiffing/top-hole (etc) raf-style 'tache - not quite handlebar in proportions - really suited him. He *was* in the RAF during the war, ground-crew rather than pilot, dunno if that's where it started or not. A mate at the pub has a tache/goatee and tbh I'm not sure it suits him, but I can't quite work out why

>Facial hair makes the wearer look older, they are never cool and the very best you can hope is not to look too silly.

Except that *completely* fails where (heavy) metal's concerned :tongue:
For years I had a goatee, about 5 years let it grow to whatever it reached - I get more than a few complimentary comments, despite that fact it's not ZZ-top-huge..

Still, anyone that doesn't like it probably isn't gonna be the sort of person I'd be bothered to have much to do with, so it's a bit of character-filter :smile:

IMO, the goatee is the offending article. Once I was told that it made my face look like ladybits, I'll never see one without thinking "You look like a ****".

As for cool, :becool: is not generally an image which concerns the metalist too much, is it? :biggrin:

As for looking like one after I'd shaved, some would consider it a burden but I see it as a gift. :whistle:
