Mustache May Update
Dubious, aka Shady McGrady. El Presidente of the New York Mustache May Chapter. El Chingón numero uno.
Back from spring break spent in New York and Boston, there is much Mustache May news to report.
- This year, Los Machos have taken on a new moniker, Los Chingones. All of you brave enough to sport a ’stache this Mustache May are our brothers.
- I visited the offices of a major record label in New York, where I met many of the fine men taking part in this year’s festivities. Quotes from that visit:
- “It’s an honor to meet you.” -from a man who mistakingly believes that I invented Mustache May.
- “You’re the reason my May is ruined. I can’t even look at these guys.” -from the female boss of the office.
- Fund-a-Stache is well under way.
- There have been poems written:
- Smell my moustache / In the morning, I dip it in coffee and breakfast/ In the mid-day, I get some sandwich in there / In the eveningtime, it is dripping with beer suds and hot sauce / Always it is waving in the wind /Always it is flawless and nice /Always it is drawing you near to touch / Give us a kiss, baby - Dubious
- And songs written (to the tune of “That’s Amore”)
- If you want to be free/just like Don Mattingly/grow a mustache
If you’re stuck in a rut/do like Kurt Vonnegut/grow a mustache
If the mustache is large/then you know who’s in charge/Los Chingones
Win a 50-yard dash/while I’m combing my ’stache/Los Chingones
(just the first verse)

[…] If you picked up on a trend of increased upper-lip hair over the past month, you were witnessing Moustache May, a time of charitable moustache growing which our friends at Mesh discussed here and here. The good folks at 826 Valencia seized on the follicle fever to raise money for their wide variety of free writing programs for children. The Moustache-a-Thon found 18 “farmers” growing moustaches and raising over $10,000 from sponsors. […]
